Does anyone remember from way back in those days when they had songs with sexually explicit lyrics from the Disco era? How about KC and The Sunshine Band's music when Harry Casey mentioned in an interview that he had to change his lyrics from"an explicit kind"to more"fun"songs.Remember his songs"I'm Your BoogieMan",That's the Way I Like It,etc...Or how about Donna Summer's"Love To Love You"and Dim All The Lights that had sexual references plus Donna Summer was moaning in"Love To Love You".Plus you had songs that referred to"doing it",having sex,caressing,kissing,touching and others of this kind.I know I'm not that old and I'm not that young but I do remember listening to most of those songs and Believe me,most of those songs back then were banned from the radio cause of their sexual nature.Does anyone remember this? -howard- :)

Yeah, but none of these songs had foul language or blantently obscene lyrics. The only thing that came close was "Push, Push (In the Bush)" by Unknown, and that one is obscure at best.

I believe that song was by the band Musique...and I also remember hearing it at the time it first came out.

Did you ever listen to the Macc Lads?  From the 80s, admittedly, but if you want explicit (not to mention gross and at times extremely funny) lyrics...

I had to review one of their gigs once and interview their manager who tried to convince me that the songs weren't that bad,and patronising me like hell, twat.Yeah right, another instance of me getting pissed off at being treated as a 'dumb blonde'.

"Once Bitten Twice Shy" by Ian Hunter

had the following :

Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my fenders beat
Can't keep you home, you're messin around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town

I suppose he could have been talking about a guitar lick....

You mean you are familiar with Ian solo, but not with Mott? Tsk Tsk. And I was setting this up for a great comeback line too! ;D

Well, I cannot resist a dare....

Just a teensy selection:

From "Jerkin Crocus": "I know what she wants, just a lick on your ice cream cone..."

From "Sucker": "you can smoke my cigar all night thru the link in your chain..."

Now, are you shocked?  :o

Ian seems to have had a one track mind! ::)

I didn't say I wasn't familiar with Mott The Hoople, just those songs....

Admittedly, All The Young Dudes is the only one I know, and for years I thought it was David Bowie singing....

Bowie gave them that song as a favor, and I remember reading an interview with Ian where he basically said he was clueless about the meaning of the lyrics and could not figure out why they suddenly had this huge following of young boys! :) And then of course, they recorded Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" which only added to the image! :D

Quoting:
Or being slightly less subtle with LZ, Whole Lotta Love :

"Shake for me girl, I wanna be your backdoor man".......

There were tons of porno-type Disco songs from the late '70s that were only played at dance clubs or sex clubs.  Here are some that I either have or remember:

"Get it Up Baby"
"Get it Up for Love"
"I Like (What You're Doing to Me)"  
"You're Place or Mine"
"Hey Mister Big Ten Incher"
"Is It All Over My Face?"
"Get It Up and Do It Again"

Here's some of the above songs' lyrics within the tunes:

"Caught me love making, is it all over my face?; "You gotta big ten incher"; "I need you to fullfill my sexual needs"; "Get it tight we're gonna make it right...let's get down to business, or don't waste my time."  "I'll jerk you all night, Mr. Right".  Of course there was plenty of explicit moaning and groaning in these and countless other tunes.

Many people were never aware of the sub-category of Disco that had existed BEYOND the basic Bee Gees level.  There were many obscure, hooker, Go-Go bar, sex club Disco songs that were produced in the late '70s by underground labels.  These songs were NEVER heard on the radio and are probably decaying in some ex-DJ's basement right now.  Only small album volumes of these songs were ever cut and sold only to DJ's or underground record stores.  Many of these songs were actually much better crafted than the typical Top-40 Disco crap stuck in everone's heads.  They had great hooks, powerful vocals, awesome Funky Progressive Rock-type grooves/riffs (think Santana, Alman Brothers, etc),  and in-your-face sexual content that made Donna Summer sound like Sandra Dee.

Marvin Gaye sings "Please don't procrastinate, it's not good to masturbate" at the very end of "Sexual Healing" (you can just barely hear it).  Man that song makes me want to puke.

Yeah, he says that... you have to turn your headset all the way up, and you can hear him barely whisper it...

You know Criz I thought you were making this line up.  I'd certainly never heard it before.  

But I happened to have my Stranglers CD here at work so I just listened to that track again.  And you're right he really does say that.  The pronouncation is slightly strange (or maybe I say it wrong?  :D ) so I guess that's why I'd never noticed before.

It was still fairly obvious what he was on about anyway I think

This was an early incidence of the infamous radio edit, which is maybe why you don't remember hearing the line as Criz wrote it. In 1977 the version they used to play on Radio One went "Is she trying to get out of that bikini".

Yeah the pronounciation is a bit odd, but I think he might just say that for the effect. It took me a while to pick up on it, but when I really listened to the lyrics I just thought I gotta get some validation! Checked a lyrics website and of course, it was exactly what I heard ;D
