Here's an obscure one from 1992: Ambient/electronic indie band from Toronto gets discovered by radio station in 1990, cuts an album, and does a gig at a large (but local) record store.

Obligatory Sexy Content: You don't wanna know how I found out.  It was a stumbling upon a tumblr for "Bella's Birthday Bash: Winter Wrap-Up, Friday March 23rd at the Black Swan", and the fine print read "advance tickets available at the Silver Snail", Toronto's semi-official comic book store.

And it turns out the Silver Snail has just moved to a new location.

Namely, the Toronto Yonge Street HMV location at which that 1992 video was recorded.

Small world, isn' tit?

Sabrina-Boys Boys Boys (1987)

Now if you're wondering why her top slipped off it was probably done by accident but who the hell knows it was a hot video anyway.  ;)

What, no love for hairbands  :P

Yeah, they were riffed for being similar to Led Zeppelin, but who cares.

Like, Hi, Fer Shurr,

I know a few really dirty 1980s songs...that I refuse to listen to, but I remember being slightly shocked by one song, which I sometimes used to listen to:

Am I Too Much? (Vanessa Williams, 1988)
;)

Here's a band that played to hordes and hordes of screaming girls who thought that they were sexy.  :) I honestly don't think that Platinum Blonde's physical appearance is a "bad" thing.  :)

This song is really nasty. Vanity 6- Nasty Girl (1982)


Great song but always hated the porn moans at the bridge. They seem to have shortened that bit for this performance.

Yes, RevCo was actually kinda cool when they first started in the '80s.

She wanted 6 inches or more.

Like, Hi, Fer Shurr,

...or MORE?  OUCH!
:o

That was one of the lyrics towards the end of the song, She wanted "6 inches or more" cause she was a nasty girl and that's what nasty girls want.

Leon Haywood-Don't Push It Don't Force It (1980)

And they actually played this song at the dances during my middle school years!  :o

Yeah, noooo!!! Not appropriate for middle school dances.
I'm not saying I didn't like the song.  It was one of my guilty pleasures, but I didn't tell anybody, just like I didn't tell anybody about the Hustlers under my bed!
:-"WHHHHAAAAT!?!?"
I didn't have the Andy Griffith answer.
"Oh..." I muttered.
I was running through possibilities in my mind.  Maybe it's a kiddie version of Little Red Corvette.  A kiddie version of Little Red Corvette? Nah, get outta here.  Well, Mr. Gould is a harmless old queen, maybe he doesn't know the song's about a woman's privates either.  No way, though.  No grownup is going to have fourth graders singing, "Gotta pocket full of horses, Trojans, some of the used."  But Stuart just said he was reading the lyrics out of Mr. Gould's book.  Well, if that's the case, why doesn't somebody go read Mr. Gould his rights?

By that time we'd met up with my stepmother and I dropped the subject.  Things were different in 1984.  I dunno.  I'm sure it wouldn't go down the same way today, but I swear I remember my little brother telling me he was singing Little Red Corvette in music class at day camp! 

Maybe I'll Facebook him about it tonight.
:o :o :o

"Do the other kids at camp know ALL the words to Little Red Corvette?"


If you know what the line about the Trojans means, it's appropriate to sing.  Besides, if Rihanna's Shut Up And Drive can get radio play, nobody's going to be freaked out when they figure out what the Corvette referred to.

Speaking of sexy songs of the 80s:

  - Rough Trade, High School Confidential (with good video and audio)

Back in 1980, this was conisdered acceptable for the dancefloor as long as the words "bitch", "cream" and "screwin'" were censored (which only meant that everyone on the floor yelled them out loud)...  It was OK because our principal had no idea that the singer was a lesbian.  It sounds laughable now, but he thought Carole Pope's deep vocals were deep enough that the singer was a dude and that the song was about heterosexual attraction, and why would we suggest to him otherwise?  The slight fig leaf of ambiguity between whether she was singing about someone else's attraction or about her own attraction was part of the genius of the song.

(Along those lines, nobody - and I mean nobody - batted an eye to the Village People and YMCA.  The early 80s was a silly and naive era.)

At the time I thought they were singing "smoosh it", which still sounded dirty to me yet I found it amusing nonetheless since I was curious about XXX.

You beat me to it! I remember loving this song when I was five because all I heard was "high school", which was something that I was looking forward to. Had no idea what the song really meant back then (lol). And I also thought that was a dude singing!

I'm old enough to remember Musique's "Push Push in the Bush" (1978).  The kids used to chant in the playground with the grownups shifting uncomfortably in their shoes!

The redneck kids loved FGTH "Relax," but I knew something they didn't.  I thought about telling them, but I decided it would be more fun for them to wait until they went to jail to find out!
:P

For years I always thought that in the beginning they said "pushy" not "push it".

A very popular song here in Canada. But I actually just finished high school when the song and the band became popular.

Like, Hi, Fer Shurr,

If you're only going by those 4 lines of lyrics, that song's not dirty at all!  I might say the exact same thing when California is experiencing a heat wave, because, believe me, when California gets hot, it's...CALIFORNICATION, FER SHURR!  ;)  No, but it really IS hot...both inside the house, and outside, and there is absolutely NO RELIEF...unless you either strip down...or grin and bear the incessant heat!  OOPS!  I'm not helping my case about the lyrics being squeaky clean...AM I, Dahling?
;)

It only took 20 years, but Alphaville covered it in 1999, and lead singer Hartwig Schierbaum (stage name of "Marian Gold" notwithstanding!) is most definitely a dude.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ;D

If you listen very carefully to that line in the song you can hear Sergio Galli, the guitar player, breathing like a dog in heat.  So no you're not helping your case about this song being squeaky clean.  ;D
So I'm fairly certain that Mark Holmes, the singer, wrote that song about some romantic encounter that he had with a girl that ended with him having his heart broken.  This says to me that Mark doesn't want to be in love anymore.  :)

Let's break this down shall we

I found your picture
hanging on the back of my door
won't give you my heart
no one lives there anymore


You said we're lovers
we could never be friends
the fascination ends
here we go again

Cause it's hot inside
when you're coming home
and if it's hot inside
isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
not in love
not in love

Could it be that
time has taken it's toll?
Won't take you so far
I am in control

You said we're lovers
we could never be friends
the fascination ends
here we go again

Cause it's hot inside
when you're coming home
and if it's hot inside
isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
In love.




It's hot inside
it's hot inside
IT'S HOT INSIDE!!
AND IT'S HOT OUTSIDE!!

COME ON!

GO
GO
GO
GO


I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

We are not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love

We are not in love
Love
Love
Love!!

That's not just sexy.  It's F---ING HAWT!!
