Eh ?  "Go All The Way" is 'Perverted/Sexually Explicit' ?  :o ??? ??? ???



If I recall correctly, the theme of every Raspberries song was about getting some girl in bed for the night... ;D

How about White Plains:

My baby loves lovin'
My baby loves lovin'
She's got what it take
An she knows how to use it...

In 1970 my cousin bought that record for her nine-year old son as his request and I remember my mother being appalled! ;D

In the early to mid seventies the really raunchy stuff never got played on mainstream radio.

Like the second verse of Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side"

Or Frank Zappa's "Dynamo Hum" (FM radio played it to death tho'...)

Oh yes - who can forget Sylvia's "Pillow Talk"...? ::)

Oh man, that song takes me back to another time, another place. (I can still hear it in my head)

You know, I remember that my best freind's mother would not allow her to buy the record "Sooner or Later" by the Grass Roots because she believed that the song was about a guy trying to talk his girlfriend out of her virginity.... ::)

(She must have had apoplexy 5 years later over "Only the Good Die Young" ;D )

Don't know that it was perverted, but Meri Wilson's, "Telephone Man" certainally could be taken as suggestive.  ;D  Also, her follow-up ""Peter the Meter Reader,"

Also depending on how conservative you were, Ray Stevens' "The Streak" could be considered...

And Meatloaf's "Paradise by the dashboard light" or something along those lines (I just remember hearing it in Karaoke.

I don't remember the song, but the title doesn't especially please me...  ;D  Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman) Joe Tex

I don't remember the song, but the title doesn't especially please me...  ;D  Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman) Joe Tex


Well, the thing is, Joe Tex was not exactly a slimline model himself (If I remember the film clip correctly) so I think there was a degree of tongue in cheek in there  :)

"Smut" by Skyhooks

The song has to do with using the inside of a greasy Twisties* packet to umm, err, 'pleasure thineself' in a darkened movie theatre.  But the lights come up at the wrong time :  ;D

"And then they turn the lights on
And people start to stare..."  :)

* Twisties - a cheese flavoured snack treat.  North Americans, think Cheetos for the same effect...


You forgot to mention the Radiators  :D ;D

How could we forget Paradise by the Dashboard Light-the ultimate teen make-out song. There was also Life in the Fast Lane-the Eagles

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?
If anything this song is about a couple's love affair with parties and drugs !
You're probably thinking of the line "They had one thing in common, they were good in bed." But that's not explicit, Henley goes into the metaphor after that. Heck, the two even start to loooose sexual interest in each other by the line "He was too tired to make it, she was... too tired to fight about it." And drugs will do that. See what I mean?

I didn't say that the song is ABOUT sex but it does have sexually explicit lyrics-more than just "they were good in bed." Try the "faster, faster" line.

"Brand New Key" by Melanie
"Push, Push, in the Bush"



Brand New Key? Someone explain, please.

Brand New Key? Someone explain, please.


Old fashioned roller skates fit over your shoes and were tightened with a, uh, screw, sometimes called a "key."

Yes, the lyrics are loaded with potential innuendo, including the pun "nookie."  However, Melanie denies all of it and writing circa 1970, she just might be innocent!
;)

Surprised no one mentioned Prince's "Soft and Wet".
His first hit track, from his first album, still trying to understand how this got on the air... :o

The Ohio Players - Skin Tight, Fopp, Sweet Sticky Thing...heck most every song they did had some sexual innuendo.  ::)

Oh yeah, that was at the tail end of the '70s!
:P

It barely penetrated the Hot 100, but thrust its way pretty far up the R&B charts, so it was heard by a demographic less likely to complain.


The Rolling Stones: C*cks*cker Blues

Maybe the documentary for the "Exile on Main Street" tour would have gotten better distribution if the just called it..."Exile on Main Street Tour" or something!

Don't forget the days when the SNL cast was really something with Gilda Radner: Let's Talk Dirty to the Animals

R.I.P. Gilda!

Prince ~ Get Off


'21 positions in a one night stand.'   :o :o     that's not bad!


Do you mean Get Off by Foxy? That's from '78 or '79

Aerosmith - Walk This Way.

"you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"

Was my older Brother's motto his entire 16th summer.  Ew.

The rest of the lyrics are rife with sexual innuendo as well.

Yeah really LOL!  I sometimes wonder now if he even knew what it really meant, I was gonna ask him once but I was afraid of the answer so decided to leave it alone! ;D

Oh, he knew what it meant alright!  Even if he'd never been down on a muffin, it's not hard to figger it out.  Aereosmith did not possess a Shakespearean subtlety in that dept.  "Hey diddle diddle with your kitty in the middle!"

Now during MY 16th summer, I heard younger kids singing, "Relax, don't do it, when you wanna step to it!"  I wasn't exactly sure what Frankie meant myself, but I was pretty sure Frankie meant something different from what those kids at the mall thought Frankie meant!
:P

Another perverted song from the seventies was Exile:  Kiss You All Over.

That was only as dirty as you wanted to make it, depending on how you were going to define "all over"!

For that documentary, they could have used the album cover for "Sticky fingers" and added things...
Can't believe such a title was used back in 1972.

Wings's song "With a little luck" isn't dirty, however the first verse of the song, I'm not sure Paul is saying " luck". sounds like something else to me.

It's an awesome song.  If it comes on the radio, I always turn it up!

Rosie by Jackson Browne......as in Rosie Palm, supposedly.

The Knack -- Good Girls Don't

She's your adolescent dream,
Schoolboy stuff, a sticky sweet romance.
And she makes you want to scream,
Wishing you could get inside her pants.
So, you fantasize away.
And while you're squeezing her, you thought you heard her saying...

"Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
She'll be tellin' you,
Good girls don't, but I do."

So, you call her on the phone
To talk about the teachers that you hate.
And she says she's all alone,
And her parents won't be coming home til late.
There's a ringing in your brain,
Cause you could've sworn you though you heard her saying...

"Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
She'll be tellin' you,
Good girls don't, but I do."

And it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste.
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
Til she's sitting on your face.

You're alone with her at last,
And you're waiting til you think the time is right.
Cause you've heard she's pretty fast.
And you're hoping that she'll give you some tonight.
So, you start to make your play,
Cause you could've sworn you thought you heard her saying...

"Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
She'll be tellin' you,
Good girls don't, but I do."

And it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste.
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
Til she's sitting on your face.

Good girls don't,
Good girls don't,
She'll be tellin' you,
Good girls don't, but I do...

Billy Joel  --  Only the Good Die Young

Come out virginia, dont let me wait
You catholic girls start much too late
Aw but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one

They showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done.....
Only the good die young
Thats what I said
Only the good die young x2

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We aint too pretty we aint too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw but that never hurt no one

Come on virginia show me a sign
Send up a signal Ill throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain youre hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
Darlin only the good die young
(woah x5 )
I tell ya
Only the good die young x2

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
Mmmm, and a cross of gold
But virginia they didnt give you quite enough information
You didnt count on me
When you were counting on your rosary
(oh woah woah)

They say theres a heaven for those who will wait
Some say its better but I say it aint
Id rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun...

You know that only the good die young
Oh woah baby
I tell ya
Only the good die young, x2

(just music here, saxaphone? )

You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
Aww she never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh woah woah

Come out come out virgina dont let me wait,
The catholic girls start much too late
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one,
U know that only the good die young

Im telling u baby
Only the good die young x2
Only the gooooooooooooooood
Only the good die young
Only the gooooooooooooooood
Only the good die young
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooo...

One of the funniest things I ever saw on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show was a guest (a popular actor I liked, but can't remember) that walked on stage and read lyrics of Love to Love You Baby as prose. I was rolling.

Gotta keep this thread at the top to increase 1970s board traffic.  If we see "perverted/sexually explicit" under 1970s, that's the board we're gonna check out!
;D

Love won't me wait - Major Harris (could be interpreted as somewhat risque)

Look what you've done to me - Boz Scaggs (not too bad really)

Into the night - Benny Mardones is often interpreted as pedophilic, but I prefer to pretend it's more romantic then that)

Make it with you - Bread - Even soft rock could be risque.  lol

Feel like making love - Bad Company

Stay with me - Faces/Rod Stewart

Tonight's the night - Rod Stewart

Hot Legs? - Rod Stewart

I'm guessing because it was used in "American Gigalo" is why I thought "Call me" by Blondie was a little more dirty then it was. 

Hot Legs? - Rod Stewart




I love yah, hon-ayyyyy!

;D

I love yah, hon-ayyyyy!

;D

Max, mistress, C'mon! Rod was never perverted. Suggestive, I'll give you that. but it was the 70's. No one could avoid being a little suggestive once Studio 54 opened. At least if they wanted to get on the charts!

Certainly could, which is why the radio version faded out early!

(Why? Because the young lady in the background began 'moaning'...and not in a 'you-still-haven't-painted-that-garden-fence' manner either!)

Mr. Stewart is still known for his monkish and pious persona.

:D :D :D

A couple of wierd songs and who they were sung by in the 70's had me scratching my head when I found out about the artists. They both basically put keeping it in the family on top of the charts.
The first one is a country tune "Heaven's Just A Sin Away" sung by a Father/Daughter act the Kendalls. The second one, with orgasm moans and groans mind you, is another Father/Daughter compilation, "Let's Do It Again' by the Staples Singers.

Eric Clapton - Easy Now

Album: Eric Clapton (1970)


   * Songwriters: Eric Clapton

Holding you, you holding me
Everyone could see we were in ecstasy
Making love against the wall
Feeling very small when we didn't need to be

Easy now, don't let my love flow out of you
Please remember that I want you to come too

Oh my darling, help me please
When I'm without you I fall down and graze my knees
I look so funny and I feel sad
Your love is all I've ever had, so please don't tease

Easy now, don't let my love flow out of you
Please remember that I want you to come too

Yesterday, you know tomorrow
Could it be I'll have to borrow someone new?
I know that I'm the one to blame
But all the same, there must be something you can do

Easy now, don't let my love flow out of you
Please remember that I want you to come too

Easy now, don't let my love flow out of you
Please remember that I want you to come too

Easy now, don't let my love flow out of you
Please remember that I want you to come too

Brand New Key? Someone explain, please.


Fortunately, before there was youtube, there were film nerds recording their own videos on 8mm:

But if you want the queen of innuendo, there was the late great Meri Wilson:
