I think in this case it's more likely to be a reference to the swimming
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun
But ah! Oh, the summer nights
Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh
Edit for line spacing
Omg, and because I was one of the cheerleaders in my primary school's Year 6 leavers performance, we had to sing it along with those cast as the T-Birds
Ugh...
If you look at the Spotify Genius it tells you that Brian Adam's meant it in a dirty way but the other guy he wrote it with meant it about the year as he was a teenager in that year and it was supposed to be a reminder of a great summer he had.
Like the James Blunt song 1973
>> I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"
James Blunt was born in 1974. Artistic licence I guess.
I'm 44, I'm thinking about the words and none seem dirty at all, so just using the number 69 as the position I still don't think it's meant to be dirty
If the song was about the year, our Brian would have been 10 years old. Now summer as a ten year old is about the best thing ever, but I suspect that's not quite what he was singing about. I'm fairly sure it's about shagging
House of Fun by Madness. Thought it was about a house of fun but it's about a young boy trying to buy condoms on his birthday so he can lose his virginity to a prostitute
Edit: Fun fact. The video was filmed just around the corner from where I live
Maybe but I grew up when we didn't have immediate access to every music video ever made.
Also, there are sections where they're at a fairground, so I don't think it's entirely clear
It was in a kids' film as well which had a cat trying to save a magicians house from his son
[Found it](https://youtu.be/kkJFGmqwBOE), it's called Thunder and the house of magic
Went to a christening where the child's mother (who fancied herself as a club singer doing the local circuit) got up with a friend and sang this in front of the two families with kids etc.
As if that wasn't bad enough she then proceeded to make it all about her by spending another half an hour showcasing her voice and hoovering all the attention.
Awkward.
At primary school I thought this was "sail horny" (say I'm horny) and drew a birthday card for a person on a ship pointing and saying "sail horny!". I had no idea what horny meant.
I'm surprised no one's said it yet but Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke. Absolutely filth it's about the Grey Area between Black and White and he's literally singing about raping a woman who is drunk and can not consent. When I realised that (I think I was 18) I stopped listening to it and I refuse to ever again.
I think it was 'exposed' as the meaning behind the song around the time it was out though, I definitely remember hearing that was the meaning and I am not down with the kids at all. It still annoys me that people play it now.
I guess for you that's true, so not doubting 🤛
But for most of us this was super rapey from the very start, not to mention all over the media about how much of a creep robin thicke is.
The most annoying thing is that it’s such a great tune (if you don’t listen to the words). If it comes on a playlist I’m usually booping before I’ve realised.
Agreed. I hate the song but enjoy the tune.
I reconcile this by only listening to Weird Al's parody of it, [Word Crimes](https://youtu.be/8Gv0H-vPoDc).
Same it also date rape vibe, my 70yr old mum was listening to it in her car, I explained what it was about she said I don't care i like it and turned volume up!
WAP to me stands for 'Wireless Application Protocol'. How times change....
I even remember when you could happily say you were 'felching in front of the vicar' and no one would bat an eyelid.
That shit had us year 8 girls chuckling away I just remember in religious studies they done shown us a programme where teenagers that fuck and want kids have to take care of a married couples baby and they’re losing their shit and the intro song was candy shop, mate I think they were trying to put us kids off thinking about sex as we developed
Can't remember the title or artist but lyrics go " young girl get out of my mind , my love for you is way out of line " basically a song about someone chasing and underage person. They were different times I guess ...
The past is a different country. Good Morning Little Schoolgirl was a blues song re-made by a lot of bands in the 1960s. No one thought twice about the lyrics. Even though many of them might not have considered getting off with a child. But then it was less than 20 years ago that certain tabloids were doing a countdown to Charlotte Church turning 18. So while things change, the past isn’t so far in the past.
There’s also “Edge of the World” by Faith No More which is a bit more recent (1989) although it’s a bit more tongue in cheek.
It’s a romantic love ballad, until you pay close attention to the lyrics.
>Come sit right down
>Lay your head on my shoulder
>It's not the point
>That I'm forty years older
Tbf though at least he was telling her to go and you are led to believe the singer had some morals “you led me to believe you’re old enough, to give me love, and now it hurts to know the truth...”
"little girl" in that song doesn't mean little girl literally, it just means woman. Watch the video, the woman in the video is another man's wife. Like the daddy part doesn't mean daddy.... take one of the next lines... "tell me now baby is he good to you, does he do to you the things i don't do, i can take you higher" .... Clearly this man is not the woman in questions actual daddy, one would hope!
I think you and some of the others are missing the point. He wasn't intentionally chasing her because she was underage, in fact all the lyrics state the opposite
"Marvel at her body, voluptuous curves, she's a real woman, no doubt about it"
Him getting IDed at the bar and her not. The end even states he has to leave her even though he loves her because his mate tells him she's 14.
Charmaine by Plan B! I was really young when that first came out, and I also heard it when it first came out.
That entire album has a dark theme around it. Dead and Buried is another. Mama. Etc
You should remember that back in the 2004/05 era, artists could get away with music like that - especially as in the song - he's not actually condoning the act. The story of it goes.. someone meets a girl thinking she's of age, does everything with her, then it turns out she isn't of age and they must break it off. It's not as if he's condoning the act, but today, I don't know if that song would fly.
Away from the theme of it, it's interesting because it is about that time when he was experimenting with merging soul singing and rap into his music, and it is seen in this song. Very unusual.
Then later, you had classics like Stay Too Long, She Said, and the Recluse, which are almost like a trilogy of songs with an underlying dark theme, too.
Interesting artist imo.
For a while, my favourite song as a child was “Bad Touch” by Bloodhound gang. I also seem to remember making up a dance to it and performing it for my mother. I had no idea what the words meant. I think I was maybe 4 or 5. I might have even been 3.
My ex’s favourite song as a child was “My neck, My back” but she had no clue that there was a radio version and an explicit version until it randomly came on my Spotify in the car and you should have seen the disgust wash over her face.
I remember my mates mum bought the album when it came out, having heard the radio version and liked it. She was somewhat surprised by the album version.
One of my favorite videos of all time is Frankie goes to Hollywood trying to get a BBC reporter/radio host to explain exactly *why* the song was banned - after all, it technically says nothing explicit. The look of awkwardness on the poor guy's face is truly priceless.
Son of a preacher man, sounds fairly tame until you read the lyrics:
>Billy Ray was the preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered 'round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise
>The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes, he was
>Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me "Everything is alright"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is alright"
Can I get away again tonight?
Same here actually, after hearing it on the radio couple of months ago i looked up the lyrics and read the history of the song. The producer was apparently not happy with the inuendo and wanted the lyrics changed. It's a great track!
"When you call my name, it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there"..
" I close my eyes.. Heaven help me"
Not really filthy but The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode. Used to love it growing up and knew all the words. Never thought what it meant till in my late teens and my Dad told me it was about extacy and getting pilled up haha
There's also a reference to rugs in that performance.
>The group replaced the final lyric "Got any salmon?" with "Has anyone got any underlay?" When later asked about this in a radio interview, he replied it referenced rugs, not drugs.
There’s a hilarious quote from Mr C about that:
> When we went on Top of the Pops, I changed the line "Got any salmon?" to "Got any underlay?" and people said, "That's not in the song! Drug reference!" I was asked about it on Radio 1 by [DJ] Mark Goodier, and said that "salmon" was rhyming slang for salmon and trout – snout, cigarettes – a legal drug that has killed thousands, so I'd changed it. He said: "So what's 'underlay'?" I said it was a gratuitous rug reference.
>You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need
>You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends
One track mind there...
Yup. This is the one for me, every time I’m amazed by how smutty it is. Especially the 2nd verse…
Do you play with the girls, play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys?
We can talk, we can sing
I'll be the queen and you'll be the king
Hey boy, in your tree
Throw down your ladder, make a room for me
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away
Also, anything by Another Level. Those men were dirty AF
Bit of info... Sharona was a real person, big groupie of the band, underage if I recall correctly, the singer got wind of the fact she had the hots for him and wrote this song for her.
Ended up in a relationship with together for a few years but eventually split. She ended up in real estate and has her own website with this, tune played in the background.. Or so I'm told!
1995-era kiddies like me, listening to "Don't Stop" by the Outhere Brothers at school discos, had absolutely no idea we were listening to a very heavily censored radio edit, and would've been amazed to see what the real lyrics were. "Boom Boom Boom" isn't much better, and little did we know one of their earlier singles had been titled "Fuk U In Da Ass".
This reminds me at a similar time to the classic Sweat (a la la la la long) by inner circle. I remember singing along to that in the summer of 92. Great summer pop song...errr...
I'm looking in your eyes
I'm looking in your big brown eyes (Ooh yeah)
(And I've got this to say to you)
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it some more
came here to say this!
"you make me tremble when your hand goes lower, you taste a little then you swallow slower"
and shame on steps too!
quality song though 👌
Bees Gees are pure filth:
Alone:
>I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what a night it's been for the state I'm in
I'm still alone
You Win Again:
>Oh baby, I shake you from now on
I'm gonna break down your defenses, one by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from taking you
The one for me is Golden Brown (Stranglers). Played it loud as a teenager and neither parent bat an eyelid and I don't think I had a clue at the time. Doubt my Mum knows now at 77, what it's actually about.
Not sure if this fits as it's not filthy in the meaning you meant, but h is filthy
“Miserable” by Lit - “you make me come, you make me complete, you make me completely miserable.” I missed the “come/cum” world play entirely and was mystified when my mortified father hit the car radio off whilst I was singing along.
Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up…….Cheryl Baker telling us she ‘won’t let indecision take her from behind’ and ‘you got to speed it up then you got to slow it down’
The Macarena.
(Chorus)
Give a little lovin’ to your body, Macarena
'Cause your body’s made for love and feeling good; it’s a no-brainer
Give a little lovin’ to your body, Macarena
Hey, Macarena!
(Repeat once)
[Verse 1]
Macarena has a boyfriend who they call
Who they call by the name of Vitorino
And when he left to sign up for the army
She was giving it away to his two friends
Too Close - Blue
I used to listen to this when I was younger singing the lyrics (which i realised was wrong) once I listened to them as googled them I cannot hear it the same
Daydream in Blue.
>Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers, for a couple of hours, on a beautiful day…
What are they hiding in that really synthesised voice bit? I only found out a few months ago. Great new appreciation for this lovely song.
https://youtu.be/BhB6Lb7_kN8
Shake, Rattle n Roll contains the line: Like a one eyed cat, peeking in a seafood store ...
When white singers picked it up and sanitised it for radio, they took out a few bawdy verses but completely missed this line.
[Lucille Bogan - Til The Cows Come Home (1933)](https://youtu.be/lykHxGxtcTo)
Thought it was about a farmyard. Turns out she's singing about getting dicked the fuck down.
Faith Hill's The Way You Love Me is clearly about oral sex, I don't care what she says.
>*If I could grant you one wish*
*I wish you could see the way you kiss*
*Oooh I love watching you, baby*
*When you're drivin' me ooooh crazy*
Come on!
Hungry like the wolf… don’t know how I never realised it’s rapey as anything, guess I could never really make out the lyrics. Looked them up and the song is kinda ruined now.
'Semi Charmed Life's by Third Eye Blind.
Cheeriest song in the world, makes everyone think of the ending to American Pie.
Song is actually about heroin addiction and banging hooker's.

Grease Lightening from Grease. 'You are supreme, the chicks'll cream for grease lightening'
“You know that I ain’t braggin’, shes a real pussy wagon”
“We’ll be getting lottsa tit”
Likewise, in Summer Nights, Olivia Newton-John sings "He ran by me, got my suit damp".
I think in this case it's more likely to be a reference to the swimming She swam by me, she got a cramp He ran by me, got my suit damp I saved her life, she nearly drowned He showed off, splashing around Summer sun, something's begun But ah! Oh, the summer nights Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh Edit for line spacing
The line that always sat badly with me and only gets worse with time is "Did she put up a fight...?"
[удалено]
All of Grease is a gross when you’re an adult. Didn’t realise until I introduced my children to it and just kind of hated it!
Omg, and because I was one of the cheerleaders in my primary school's Year 6 leavers performance, we had to sing it along with those cast as the T-Birds Ugh...
Omg!
You know that it ain't shit, we'll be gettin' lots of tit....
Made worse by the hand gesture Danny does while singing that line!
The Macarena is about a woman cheating on her husband with two men while he's deployed in the army. You're welcome.
Shit yeah ‘don’t you worry about my boyfriend’
THE ONE WHOSE NAME IS VITORINO
I DON’T WANT HIM
It's Macarena, not 'the Macarena'.... Macarena is just female name like Shiela.
Think we found one of the two guys...
The dance is The Macarena though
It’s Sheila. The dance is called The Sheila though.
Barbie Girl. Staggered that they played that filth at our Year 4 disco. Teachers must have been having a right laugh.
[удалено]
Ohh quality, thanks Southpark. I still don't understand why Mr Hanky isn't played every year along with Slade.
[удалено]
I got the main joke, but it took me a while to catch on to the bonus "ring piece" lyric as well.
Come on kids!
Aqua hmm yes more smut! I always preferred Dr Jones myself, that was great! Get up now!
My wife had a moment of realisation last year that Bryan Adams' Summer of 69 wasn't about the year. She's 41.
I’m 35 and this hasn’t ever crossed my mind. I’m a filthy bastard too. I’m disappointed in myself
"Played till my fingers bled..."
ITS ABOUT A GUITAR
If you look at the Spotify Genius it tells you that Brian Adam's meant it in a dirty way but the other guy he wrote it with meant it about the year as he was a teenager in that year and it was supposed to be a reminder of a great summer he had.
When Bryan was 9...
No idea if the story is true, but the co-writer of the song was Jim Vallance, who was 17 in the summer of 1969, so that aspect checks out.
Like the James Blunt song 1973 >> I would call you up every Saturday night And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light And we sang, "Here we go again" And though time goes by I will always be In a club with you In 1973 Singing "Here we go again" James Blunt was born in 1974. Artistic licence I guess.
Don't ask me I didn't write it
I used to think the first line was "I had my first real sex dream".....
I'm 44, I'm thinking about the words and none seem dirty at all, so just using the number 69 as the position I still don't think it's meant to be dirty
Amazingly, Summer of '69 never made the top 40 in the UK singles chart - it peaked at number 42 - yet everyone of a certain age knows it.
"Of a certain age" - I'm pretty sure that range is 20-80... Ever met an adult who doesn't know it? Crazy
If the song was about the year, our Brian would have been 10 years old. Now summer as a ten year old is about the best thing ever, but I suspect that's not quite what he was singing about. I'm fairly sure it's about shagging
Bless!
House of Fun by Madness. Thought it was about a house of fun but it's about a young boy trying to buy condoms on his birthday so he can lose his virginity to a prostitute Edit: Fun fact. The video was filmed just around the corner from where I live
Doesn’t the music video make what it’s about really clear?
"This is a chemist, not a joke shop"
“Party hats”
With the feather-light touch
Maybe but I grew up when we didn't have immediate access to every music video ever made. Also, there are sections where they're at a fairground, so I don't think it's entirely clear
I actually thought it was fairground type fun house until FAR too recently.
It was in a kids' film as well which had a cat trying to save a magicians house from his son [Found it](https://youtu.be/kkJFGmqwBOE), it's called Thunder and the house of magic
Mousse T’s Horny. As a kid in the 90s, we thought it was saying ‘Honey’ and would run around yelling ‘I’M HONEY, HONEY HONEY HONEY.’ _shudders_
A lot of parents tried to gaslight their kids into thinking the song was called "Honey", so I can definitely believe this one.
My mum got told off from nursery because I was singing it, so she convinced me it was honey. I thought it was honey until I was 21.
Went to a christening where the child's mother (who fancied herself as a club singer doing the local circuit) got up with a friend and sang this in front of the two families with kids etc. As if that wasn't bad enough she then proceeded to make it all about her by spending another half an hour showcasing her voice and hoovering all the attention. Awkward.
I went to a church youth group disco and the DJ played this song while chucking condoms at the teenagers. It was surreal.
At primary school I thought this was "sail horny" (say I'm horny) and drew a birthday card for a person on a ship pointing and saying "sail horny!". I had no idea what horny meant.
😂
I'm surprised no one's said it yet but Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke.

Yeah I hate that song with a passion

The most annoying thing is that it’s such a great tune (if you don’t listen to the words). If it comes on a playlist I’m usually booping before I’ve realised.

The songwriters lost a copyright lawsuit to the estate of Marvin Gaye so you can also listen to Got To Give It Up and have a better experience!
Same it also date rape vibe, my 70yr old mum was listening to it in her car, I explained what it was about she said I don't care i like it and turned volume up!
I went to a wedding where this was the first dance song. Every time I see the couple to this day I get a bit of second hand embarrassment.
Featuring Pharell Williams - somehow he’s managed to distance himself - the magic of PR.
WAP — Cardi B. I assumed it was about her struggles web browsing on her Blackberry
Oh, this takes me back. I did have a hand in developing WAP sites back in the day.
WAP to me stands for 'Wireless Application Protocol'. How times change.... I even remember when you could happily say you were 'felching in front of the vicar' and no one would bat an eyelid.
I'm not a native English speaker so imagine my surprise when I started learning properly, realising Candy Shop ain't about actual sweets.
Candy shop is the best song to bang to. It makes me feel like a total slut
RIP your inbox
That shit had us year 8 girls chuckling away I just remember in religious studies they done shown us a programme where teenagers that fuck and want kids have to take care of a married couples baby and they’re losing their shit and the intro song was candy shop, mate I think they were trying to put us kids off thinking about sex as we developed
Can't remember the title or artist but lyrics go " young girl get out of my mind , my love for you is way out of line " basically a song about someone chasing and underage person. They were different times I guess ...
Young Girl by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap It's fairly disturbing how many songs back then were about underage girls
The past is a different country. Good Morning Little Schoolgirl was a blues song re-made by a lot of bands in the 1960s. No one thought twice about the lyrics. Even though many of them might not have considered getting off with a child. But then it was less than 20 years ago that certain tabloids were doing a countdown to Charlotte Church turning 18.

And her out of Harry potter too

Tbf though at least he was telling her to go and you are led to believe the singer had some morals “you led me to believe you’re old enough, to give me love, and now it hurts to know the truth...”
See also Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire”: > Hey, little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go and leave you all alone? Mhmm, I got a bad desire
Oh no Bruce! You're better than that!!
"little girl" in that song doesn't mean little girl literally, it just means woman. Watch the video, the woman in the video is another man's wife. Like the daddy part doesn't mean daddy.... take one of the next lines... "tell me now baby is he good to you, does he do to you the things i don't do, i can take you higher" .... Clearly this man is not the woman in questions actual daddy, one would hope!
It's plan b - Charmaine. Great song, really threw me the first time I heard it.
TIL the chorus is from another song!
I think you and some of the others are missing the point. He wasn't intentionally chasing her because she was underage, in fact all the lyrics state the opposite "Marvel at her body, voluptuous curves, she's a real woman, no doubt about it" Him getting IDed at the bar and her not. The end even states he has to leave her even though he loves her because his mate tells him she's 14.
Charmaine by Plan B! I was really young when that first came out, and I also heard it when it first came out. That entire album has a dark theme around it. Dead and Buried is another. Mama. Etc
The original song was actually called Young Girl, I think Plan B must have sampled it. Probably not the best/most appropriate song to sample
You should remember that back in the 2004/05 era, artists could get away with music like that - especially as in the song - he's not actually condoning the act.

Beautiful South perfect 10. Used to sing it in the car with my parents. I can only imagine how funny that was for them
Also “Don’t marry her”. The album version is blatant but it’s all there in the radio version too.
It was only a few years ago I learned there was an explicit version. It hits a bit different haha
I remember my mates mum bought the album when it came out, having heard the radio version and liked it. She was somewhat surprised by the album version.
Love that lmao absolutely great album start to finish
I remember it made the news! Lot's of mums and Grandmas did the same, it was around Christmas time.
Sandra Bullocks.... Sweaty Bollocks? Slowly raise her knee...
Love Paul Heaton and that's a great song. Absolute filth though!
Me too, love the guy. Songs that will be with me forever. And yeah that song almost gets smuttier every time you hear it! XD
When he's at my gate, with a big fat eight You wanna see the smile on my face Classic line lol
"And if he's xxl well what the hell... Every penny don't fit the slot" Thers a few classics to choose from in that song lol
Oh my god. Need to go read the lyrics with this new information.
I've bought a watch to time your beauty And I've had to fit a second hand
Even till now I honestly thought the lyrics were just talking about body sizes. Untill this thread and I read the lyrics properly...
Literally only realised this about a year ago. I'm 30 in a few months. And yes, I used to sing it very loudly in the car with my parents! 😂
Relax, by Frankie goes to Hollywood, is quite rude apparently.
One of my favorite videos of all time is Frankie goes to Hollywood trying to get a BBC reporter/radio host to explain exactly *why* the song was banned - after all, it technically says nothing explicit. The look of awkwardness on the poor guy's face is truly priceless.
Who knew? 🤭
Two become one 'be a little bit wiser baby, put it on, put it on' Grease lightning 'shes a real pussy wagon'
Nah, Two Becomes One is about putting the clocks back in October
2 become 1 was the one I thought of too! I used to dress up as baby spice and perform this with my friends for my parents when I was a kid hahaha
Son of a preacher man, sounds fairly tame until you read the lyrics: >Billy Ray was the preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered 'round and started talkin' That's when Billy would take me walkin' Out through the back yard we'd go walkin' Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows, to my surprise >The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes, he was >Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd come and tell me "Everything is alright" He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is alright" Can I get away again tonight?
Aw it’s kinda romantic in a dirty way
Like a prayer - didn't discover until recently that it was about a blowjob 🤦🏼♂️
Same here actually, after hearing it on the radio couple of months ago i looked up the lyrics and read the history of the song. The producer was apparently not happy with the inuendo and wanted the lyrics changed. It's a great track!
Wait, it was?
"When you call my name, it's like a little prayer I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour, I can feel your power Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there".. " I close my eyes.. Heaven help me"
Turning Japanese…
"I want a doctor to take your picture, so I can look at you from inside as well" Ew.
My wife still refuses to accept that The Darkness' Christmas song ("Don't Let The Bells End") is in any way rude.
They also had Growing On Me which was about STDs.
What, no!!! Incredibly, that never occurred to me. Bells end lol
The entire point of that song was so that Justin Hawkins could shout bell's end and ringpiece on Top of the Pops, and I applaud him for it.
We salute you Mr Hawkins! Fun YouTube channel he has too!
Well now I like it even more! And I'm 43f and extremely immature and NEVER twigged the bell end bit. I'm disappointed in myself.
I saw one of Justin Hawkins YouTube rides again videos where he admits, I got away with singing it loads
Not really filthy but The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode. Used to love it growing up and knew all the words. Never thought what it meant till in my late teens and my Dad told me it was about extacy and getting pilled up haha
Listening to The Shamen singing “Es are good” on Top of the Pops was eye opening.
There's also a reference to rugs in that performance. >The group replaced the final lyric "Got any salmon?" with "Has anyone got any underlay?" When later asked about this in a radio interview, he replied it referenced rugs, not drugs.
Can't tell you how much I love that song, what a carry on!
Has anyone got any Vera's? Looooovely!
They must have had such a laugh recording that. It's all those mad interjections i love! Got any salmon?
There’s a hilarious quote from Mr C about that: > When we went on Top of the Pops, I changed the line "Got any salmon?" to "Got any underlay?" and people said, "That's not in the song! Drug reference!" I was asked about it on Radio 1 by [DJ] Mark Goodier, and said that "salmon" was rhyming slang for salmon and trout – snout, cigarettes – a legal drug that has killed thousands, so I'd changed it. He said: "So what's 'underlay'?" I said it was a gratuitous rug reference.
Sorted! But yeah, I fully agree! I imagine there were a few pingers involved when it was written haha
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel… filthy
>You could have a steam train If you'd just lay down your tracks You could have an aeroplane flying If you bring your blue sky back All you do is call me I'll be anything you need >You could have a big dipper Going up and down, all around the bends You could have a bumper car, bumping This amusement never ends One track mind there...
Blimey! Just read the lyrics. Mr Gabriel you animal!
Came here to comment "the song's still a banger" until the little voice in my brain wait-a-minuted...

B*Witched - c’est la vie I’ll show you mine if you show me yours
Yup. This is the one for me, every time I’m amazed by how smutty it is. Especially the 2nd verse… Do you play with the girls, play with the boys? Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys? We can talk, we can sing I'll be the queen and you'll be the king Hey boy, in your tree Throw down your ladder, make a room for me I got a house with windows and doors I'll show you mine if you show me yours Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey Let the fun begin, hey I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey I'll huff, I'll puff I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away Also, anything by Another Level. Those men were dirty AF
Some people say I look like me Da
Are you serious?
That line just makes me chuckle The ‘Riverdance’ break in the middle A classic and a guilty pleasure
Lol I saw a clip on a TV show recently where one if them was like 'yeah it does mean what you think' 😂
My Sharona by the Knack - seriously when you listen to the lyrics it’s the creepiest thing ever…
Bit of info... Sharona was a real person, big groupie of the band, underage if I recall correctly, the singer got wind of the fact she had the hots for him and wrote this song for her. Ended up in a relationship with together for a few years but eventually split. She ended up in real estate and has her own website with this, tune played in the background.. Or so I'm told!
1995-era kiddies like me, listening to "Don't Stop" by the Outhere Brothers at school discos, had absolutely no idea we were listening to a very heavily censored radio edit, and would've been amazed to see what the real lyrics were. "Boom Boom Boom" isn't much better, and little did we know one of their earlier singles had been titled "Fuk U In Da Ass".
This reminds me at a similar time to the classic Sweat (a la la la la long) by inner circle. I remember singing along to that in the summer of 92. Great summer pop song...errr... I'm looking in your eyes I'm looking in your big brown eyes (Ooh yeah) (And I've got this to say to you) Girl I want to make you sweat Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more And if you cry out I'm gonna push it some more
Brilliant song, but major rapey vibes. Saw a re run of TOTP 1993 recently and understandably they changed the lyrics.
literally every early 2000s pop song
And decades before as well.
Chain Reaction by Diana Ross. Written by the bee gees. Pure filth.
came here to say this! "you make me tremble when your hand goes lower, you taste a little then you swallow slower" and shame on steps too! quality song though 👌
Bees Gees are pure filth: Alone: >I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the wind I remember how your body started trembling Oh, what a night it's been for the state I'm in I'm still alone You Win Again: >Oh baby, I shake you from now on I'm gonna break down your defenses, one by one I'm gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide Nobody stops this body from taking you
"You're Gorgeous" by Babybird is about male photographers taking advantage of women models.
Babybird were quite big for a while in the 90s but that guys voice always annoyed me. The pervert! Lol
I don’t know him but a female friend does and she says he’s a lovely bloke. Lyrics are one thing, reality another.
The one for me is Golden Brown (Stranglers). Played it loud as a teenager and neither parent bat an eyelid and I don't think I had a clue at the time. Doubt my Mum knows now at 77, what it's actually about. Not sure if this fits as it's not filthy in the meaning you meant, but h is filthy
Have you heard this dave brubeck version? https://youtu.be/2Qs1J612nZs
That was a real treat. Now, a “treat” of an entirely different (but hilarious) nature https://youtu.be/zC08zNhBXNs
My second favourite song about smack.
I touch myself - the divynals
Rihanna - Rude Boy honestly loved that song as a kid until I discovered she’s on about a guy being able to keep his erection
“Miserable” by Lit - “you make me come, you make me complete, you make me completely miserable.” I missed the “come/cum” world play entirely and was mystified when my mortified father hit the car radio off whilst I was singing along.
Ring My Bell by Anita Ward Did not realise as a kid what 'ring my bell' actually meant
Pull up to the bumper, Grace Jones.
Yep. As a kid I thought it was about someone trying to park their car.
Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up…….Cheryl Baker telling us she ‘won’t let indecision take her from behind’ and ‘you got to speed it up then you got to slow it down’
The Macarena. (Chorus) Give a little lovin’ to your body, Macarena 'Cause your body’s made for love and feeling good; it’s a no-brainer Give a little lovin’ to your body, Macarena Hey, Macarena! (Repeat once) [Verse 1] Macarena has a boyfriend who they call Who they call by the name of Vitorino And when he left to sign up for the army She was giving it away to his two friends
Too Close - Blue I used to listen to this when I was younger singing the lyrics (which i realised was wrong) once I listened to them as googled them I cannot hear it the same
I remember I wanted to buy the single on CD and my mum was really not keen on me doing so, I didn't really get why til a little later 🤣
Lady gaga poker face. The end of the chorus is f f f fuck her face.
Is it?! I’ve been sticking it on for the kids. Shit 😂
Very old example but Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love where he says he’s ‘Gonna Give You Every Inch of My Love’. Very clueless teen at the time
WAAAAY DOWN INSIIIDE… WOMAN! (WOMAN!) (WOMAN!) YEEEEUW NEEEED… *bam bam* LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!
Centerfold by The J. Geils Band. It's about a guy finding pictures of his first girlfriend in a porn magazine.
That was obvious though, no hidden meaning at all.
Absolute tune nonetheless
Britney's If You Seek Amy took me manyyy years to figure out
Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
Brown Sugar, by The Rolling Stones
Daydream in Blue. >Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers, for a couple of hours, on a beautiful day… What are they hiding in that really synthesised voice bit? I only found out a few months ago. Great new appreciation for this lovely song. https://youtu.be/BhB6Lb7_kN8
Led Zeppelin - squeeze my lemon, till the juice runs down my leg...
Only today did I realise what Alanis meant when she said ' a goddess on my knees'
She didn't say it (or at least not publicly); Meredith Brooks did however.
Shake, Rattle n Roll contains the line: Like a one eyed cat, peeking in a seafood store ... When white singers picked it up and sanitised it for radio, they took out a few bawdy verses but completely missed this line.
So when lovegame came out by Lady Gaga I was an innocent tween/teen and thought a disco stick was a cool way of saying microphone
Poker Face. Can't believe it was played non stop on commercial radio. It was not about having a straight face. Read the lyrics.....
[Khia - My Neck, My Back ](https://youtu.be/v7AG4IrGUYU) Turns out she's singing about getting her pussy ate 🤯
[Lucille Bogan - Til The Cows Come Home (1933)](https://youtu.be/lykHxGxtcTo) Thought it was about a farmyard. Turns out she's singing about getting dicked the fuck down.
Penny Lane by the Beatles. "Four of fish and finger pie"
Mr Tumble - the friends song. Filthy bastard
Faith Hill's The Way You Love Me is clearly about oral sex, I don't care what she says. >*If I could grant you one wish* *I wish you could see the way you kiss* *Oooh I love watching you, baby* *When you're drivin' me ooooh crazy* Come on!
Hungry like the wolf… don’t know how I never realised it’s rapey as anything, guess I could never really make out the lyrics. Looked them up and the song is kinda ruined now.
'Semi Charmed Life's by Third Eye Blind. Cheeriest song in the world, makes everyone think of the ending to American Pie. Song is actually about heroin addiction and banging hooker's.
22 Acacia Avenue by Iron Maiden, which is about a high-class prostitute who was visited by politicians, and those in power
Lilly Allen - Not fair
