In reality, the “Brown Sugar” that “tastes so good” is the paramour in a steamy yet non-consensual love affair with her slave master. That spirit gave us rock classics such as “Honky Tonk Women,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and, of course, the bouncy, hook-filled yet sadistic 1971 masterpiece “Brown Sugar.” The “Brown Sugar” in question has been rumored to be many things, including heroin. Transatlantic musical magic unfolded in the 1960s when pair of English schoolboys, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, channeled the darkest spirits of the Antebellum America South. The incriminating lyrics: “Man, I can’t even believe my luck I found a girl who loves to fish She wants to do it all the time.” It’s about a young man who has found the perfect woman: she’s a sexy young country cutie who loves his truck and loves to, um, fish. “Fish,” a 2011 hit by then Nashville newcomer Campbell, is one of those tunes. The incriminating lyrics: “Come on and tease me like you do I’m so in love with you Mama’s got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night.”Ĭountry music can always be counted on to provide a clever lyrical storyline that’s comically self-conscious. The noise of the alleged accordion even keeps the kiddies up at night, prompting little Roger’s buddy Pete to pen a suggestive song about it back in 1975. The racket caused by her squeeze box (“in and out and in and out”) can be heard all around the neighborhood. Poor Papa Daltrey can’t get no sleep because Mama Daltrey has certain needs. The incriminating lyrics: “Squeeze me baby Until the juice runs down my leg The way you squeeze my lemon I’m gonna fall right out of bed.” The lemon in question, of course, is no lemon at all - and the passion incited by the touch of said citrus entraps Robert Plant, in classic blues fashion, in an otherwise miserable relationship. It’s a mishmash of various lyrics and riffs: “Killing Floor” by Howlin’ Wolf, “Traveling Riverside Blues” by Robert Johnson, and “She Squeezed My Lemon” by Art McKay. Few efforts were better than “The Lemon Song” from their monumental heavy-blues second album in 1969. The mighty Zeppelin rose to fame reinterpreting blues standards in hard-rocking fashion. The incriminating lyrics: “The diving man’s coming up for air cause the crowd all love pulling Dolly by the hair, by the hair.” The lyrics betray a different story: those “Girls on Film” are porn stars. The introductory sounds of clicking cameras lead listeners to believe the “Girls on Film” are magazine models. A raunchy R-rated underground version of the song’s video only fueled its fire. None were sexier than their 1981 breakthrough hit. The pretty-boy Brit quintet ruled the 1980s with steamy videos of sexy synth-pop filmed in far-off locales. Let us know what other songs belong in the comments section. Yours might look different, depending on what you’re into between the sheets and over the internet. “Timber” got us thinking about the raunchiest, most suggestive and most clever songs of the rock and roll era. It’s a practice in writing that stretches back to ancient literature, but seems to have been perfected by songwriting - let’s just say that things are going down in Pitbull’s contemporary celebration of sexual excess, and they’re not trees. Like countless Jay Z or Katy Perry lyrics and Usher’s recent hit “Good Kisser,” Pitbull’s high-energy countrified pop-rap hit is a classic case of employing double entendre: songs that suggest something innocent but harbor naughtier intentions. The radio waves earlier this year were filled by rapper Pitbull’s megahit “Timber,” featuring the sweet-and-naughty sounds of pop tartlet Kesha (who has since dropped the dolla from her moniker after a stint in rehab, which can be costly).
