What about "Soft & Wet" and Jac-U-Off? Don't forget about those!

Anyway, just throw the entire Soft Cell catalog in there!

You got:
Jan Hammer: Miami Vice theme.  That song single-handedly made electronic drums totally cheesy!

I got one:

The Rolling Stones: C*cs*cker Blues

Does that count?

Rick James: Super Freak
The Vapors: Turning Japanese

Touch Me (I Want Your Body) - Samantha Fox

Lady Marmalade - Patti LaBelle  or anyone else that covered this sexy tune
"Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?"

Touch Me (I Want Your Body) - Samantha Fox
My friend Scott sang that song incessently for months.  He was struggling with his own issues at the time!

Lady Marmalade - Patti LaBelle  or anyone else that covered this sexy tune

a curvy blonde in ripped jeans singing Touch Me.  talk about a hook  ;D  I went right out and bought the cassette and I still have it. I just listen, I don't sing along, no serious issues here.  ::)

as for the song The Anal Staircase... what the heck?  :o  and the song Relax, I do dig that song. in fact I watched a couple versions of the video, one was some rare banned version and I didn't see anything that was bannable.

Aerosmith- Lord of the thighs
The Breeders- Cannonball*
Alice In Chains- Bleed the freak
Stone Temple Pilots- Sex Type Thing
Nirvana- Spank Thru

That's about as good of a list that I can think of.

* Cannonball is about sex.

What about "Soft & Wet" and Jac-U-Off? Don't forget about those!



That's why I said that some of the titles  Prince were too raunchy to name. And you left off a couple of straight up nasty ones. (It's Tracks #6 and #7 on the Dirty Mind album)  ;D

And I love the "Miami Vice" theme.  ;D

Leon Haywood - I Want'a Do Something Freaky To You
Music sound familiar?  I tip my 40 to Dr. Dre.  Smooth song. Title says it all baby.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzUBh1eK2kE

The System - Don't Disturb This Groove
Hang a sign on the door that says Don't Disturb This Groove.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWKKuF9wcDA

Samantha Fox - Touch Me
Hot song, but the mood is killed when I think of Samantha with that Burly Bull Dyke.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiuimDNlyuQ

Patrick Cowley - Menergy
Not a vice that i have been a part of, thank goodness.   Lyrics are hysterical.  Explicit gay connatations aside, the music is cool for 1981.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olZdpr2a-TI

Joe Tex - Ain't Gonna Bump No More (with a Big Fat Woman)
I haven't partaken in this vice for a long time.  Funny disco song from 1976.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSwRtcSf8Gs

Aerosmith- Lord of the thighs
The Breeders- Cannonball*
Alice In Chains- Bleed the freak
Stone Temple Pilots- Sex Type Thing

  Sex is a vice..?

   Sex is a vice..?


Okay, Cannonball sounds like a kid song about sex.

I'm not the only one to list any about sex on this thread. Check Foo Bar's long list.

  Just sayin'...

 

   Just sayin'...

   


Plus, the songs in general sounded like sex from a non-marital stand point. Which is consider a vice of sorts from a religious view.

Edit: I felt like I was being targeted in this case while not being the first to post about that subject(in other words, it made me feel like it's okay for others to post it but not me when you asked me that).

Other than Sex, how about these Classic songs about varous vices.

The diner waitress thing was a put-on!

Fats Johnson: The John Edwards Blues

Good songs.  Donna Summer's "She Works Hard For The Money" is about prostitution?  I didn't know that.  She must work hard, really hard.

Iam Siam: She Went Pop

I believe this was about a pornstar getting murdered. 

Iam Siam: I am Siam

It's a vice for you just to listen to this song!


Huey Louis and the News: Hip to be Square
Did you ever listen to it backwards?

The Fibonoccis: Old Mean Ed Gein
Dear Mr. Manson, have you heard from or seen a man from Wisconsin by the name of Ed Gein?  You turned me on to the Beatles and Stones but he taught me love for the beauty of bones...

"Duncan and Brady" (murdering  a cop)
(best versions: Leadbelly, Dave Van Ronk)

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man cum

:o

The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up

I put sex (unless a comorbidity) out of the picture.  How man rock 'n' roll songs can you list?

What about the song "The Anal Staircase"?  It might not even be literal, might be metaphorical.  I'll just leave it alone.  Coil can really get into your brain and corrode your soul if you're not ready for it...

The Anal Staircase seemed to play on themes of murdering one's own soul and remaining alive...

sex with a dead guy sounds comorbid and I don't even know what that means  ???      as for The Anal Staircase, Coil;  I think you are right...    I'm not ready for that  :-\\

Co-morbid means more than one disorder occurring at once. 

I had to chuckle as Coil's "Scatology" and "Horse Rotorvator" albums were gaining underground chic  because the PMRC was worried about Twisted Sister and Cyndi Lauper!  Not to mention JG Thirwell (aka Clint Ruin) who recorded as many variations on " foetus" eg.
Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel
Scraping Foetus Off the The Wall
You've Got Foetus In Your Bed
You've Got foetus On Your Breath
8-P

sweet little Cyndi was tame compared to these....maybe it's just me, but anything with the word scat just kinda turns me off  8-P   
gee Max, those are some rather vile titles  ;D

I've never heard of Mr. Brownstone.

Heroin - The Velvet Underground (Lou Reed)

And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same

Karma for Foetus.  You haven't lived until you've heard (Come to) Bedrock, by Thirwell's band incarnated as Fotus, Inc, from the Foetus album Sink.

It's sort of an industrial-blues-burlesque/striptease kind of thing. 

If that makes no sense, close your eyes and try to imagine Jabba the Hutt singing Sarah Vaughan's "Fever" in a venue that makes Jabba's hideout in Empire Strikes Back look positively classy by comparison.  That's almost as far out there as Bedrock.  It's seven minutes of delicious maliciousness, and featuring the foetal trifecta of brass, bass, and ass.  Sing it loud, sing it proud.  Come to Bedrock.

Heroin - The Velvet Underground (Lou Reed)

You'll end up filthy rich and married to Laurie Anderson!
8)

Lou Reed: Waiting for My Man (dope and dealer)

Donavan: Candyman (dope and dealer again, song also famously rendered by Dylan)

Psychedelic Furs: Pretty In Pink (promiscuity)

U.S.A for Africa: We Are the World (How to dull your guilt, American pig!)

AC/DC: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (You name it!)

Judas Priest: Breakin' the Law (breakin' the law)

Buzzcocks: Orgasm Addict (it ain't usually a vice, but the way you do it kid...)

Max, did you remove your post that came after this post about The Anal Staircase?  I think you said something to the effect, and I quote "to wit...I hear you knocking but you can't come in"

well about 2 hours later I got the joke  ;D  man am I slow or what

Don't touch me there===The Tubes
:D :D :D :D :D

My personal favorite is still "Enter the Exterminator" from the "Nail" album!

JG Thirwell is a bad dude, but he's the real deal, not a poseur like Al J.  You can just read Thirwell's lyrics; they're good on their own as poetry.  No so of most "Industrial" music, which was really little more than highly electrified hair metal (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails)...or dance pop like Click Click or Front 242!

Meh!  Maybe somebody deleted it.  We've got some folks around here what's get all upset!

To start talking about Coil arnound here is like showing rotten.com to your five-year-old daughter.  Probbably shouldn't do it in the first place!

Anyway, whatever connection you've got with The Anal Staircase and I hear you knocking but you can't come in is strictly your own!

What he said.  And I like both the electro-hair-metal dance-pop/EBM styles of industrial.

Now, back on to vice.  Personally, I don't consider greed to be a vice, but since Maxwell brought up hair metal...

WASP: Fistful of Diamonds, from their album "The Last Command", 1985.  Opens up with a stock ticker and a few earnings reports, and then cranks up the glorious 80s metalocalypse that was W.A.S.P.

Fortune, come here to me,
It's power that rules the game!
Seduction of silver and lawless greed,
I love it all!  I damn the shame!
The root of all evil can hear me call:
(chorus)
"I want a fistful!  Fistful of diamonds!
I live for the glory and fame!
I want a fistful!  Fistful of diamonds!
The millions are callin' my name!"
  - from WASP, Fistful of Diamonds

Gotta love it, man, gotta love it.

Meh!  Maybe somebody deleted it.  We've got some folks around here what's get all upset!

me too and isn't it interesting that we dig a song about people shooting up heroin  ???
