Top 10 Songs You Didn’t Know Were about Sex


on the surface they are squeaky clean a
camera first resistant but dig deeper
and you’ll find something much much
dirtier welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 songs you didn’t know
we’re about sex to show you for this
list we’re looking at songs that
contains surprisingly deceptively dirty
lyrics artists like Madonna will not be
included as sex is a common theme in her
music
number ten relax
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
prepare to see this 80s classic in a
whole new light
while most listeners surely aren’t aware
of the background of this highly
controversial single let’s just say that
the song was found on an album called
welcome to the Pleasure Dome
although the band was denied the song
sexual lyrics due to heavy controversy
the tracks music video only further
confirms its subject matters reaching
platinum status in the UK and winning
Best British single at the BRIT Awards
it’s no surprise that the controversial
nature of the song had a large effect on
the tune success
number nine whistle FlowRider
can you blow my whistle baby whistle
baby let me know here’s a shocker for
all you innocent mojo holics flo rida
wasn’t exactly singing about his days as
a referee when he asked you if you could
blow his whistle
slow it down baby whistle baby let me
know are you still not sure how to well
Florida lays down in detail how it’s
done many were quick to spot Flo Rida’s
message from the start but innocent
listeners failed to recognize the
symbolism behind the line such as stroke
your little ego and I’m betting you like
girls to give loved the girls is throw
pillows go Oh Flo Rida you charmed
millions with your summer jam of secret
messages but we’re not fooled
number eight crash into me Dave Matthews
Band’s gosh oh you got shortchange time
to mid time time four years women have
been touched by Dave Matthews poetic
lyrics of a man in love but perhaps they
didn’t know that said man was creeping
on his precious through a window crash
and I come and tear
that’s right shortly after requesting a
better view of um a woman’s legs the
song becomes a little less subtle
exposing the narrator’s wider istic
motives
when I stare at you
but where
Wow so don’t even think about choosing
this creepy production as your wedding
song unless of course you want some
confused wedding guests cock up your
skirt show the world to me
number seven I’m so excited
the pointer sisters this early 80s dance
pop tune is so powerful that listeners
completely lose control of rational
thought and get straight-up funky
especially when played in a public
setting
yeah you might think it’s all about
sweet embraces and the excitement of a
new love but I’m so excited is a
detailed document about being excited
for a sexual encounter first she sets
the date then she lets her intentions be
known and finally she requests her
partner to move real slow until the
sexual fantasy is complete
try and listen to this one the same way
again
dick crank back three time from left
number six crank that Soulja Boy Soulja
Boy tellin me crank it watch me roll
I’ll be playing that Soulja Boy a
Superman while the pointer sisters made
people get down with the groove Soulja
Boy created a social dance phenomenon
that spread across the world what few
understood however is the reference to a
superhero by the name of Superman baby
Lena why be wrong Superman yeah why me
quite a Robocop okay so some of the
lyrics are painfully direct but Soulja
Boy’s reference to the Man of Steel is
actually a reference to a bedroom
practice while me cranky why me why me
crack that Rosa verda soup so
in fact you’re probably better off
googling it yourself and having us
explain it step by step
warning you’ll never be the same and
probably feel slightly disturbed let me
crank it watch me roll on me like this
hoes and what is Superman that I
practice on that well meet you
number five sledge hammer Peter Gabriel
thanks to one of the most popular and
innovative music videos of all time
Peter Gabriel took home nine Awards at
the 1987 MTV Music Video Awards the song
is just one massive sexual innuendo
after another cleverly using everyday
objects to hide the song’s real meaning
that’s right this is a man who asked you
to open up your fruitcakes and then call
him the sledgehammer
of course given the jolly music video he
doesn’t really mean that
right
number four barbie girl aqua
oh sweet Barbie doll you made friends
with millions of girls over the years
but then you grew up and became a sex
symbol well that’s what aqua hat is
believing much to the chagrin of Mattel
Japan my friend later
singer Len Nystrom took on the role of
Barbie and sang about her plastic world
in which Ken could undress her
everywhere the lyrics actually poke fun
at real-life Barbie girls and society’s
influence on women as sexual objects and
are full of sexual innuendos number
three if you seek Amy Britney Spears
okay Amanda have you seen Amy tonight is
she in the bathroom is she okay mojo
holics repeat this title to yourself
three times and you’ll find out why it’s
on our list if you still seek the truth
however will tell you
this song is about sexual intercourse
surprised Britney Spears tried to pull a
fast one on her listeners or at least
tried to make them laugh
lyrically if you seek Amy has Spears
searching for a friend named you guessed
it Amy which is either completely
brilliant or completely mad given the
fact that all the boys and all of the
girls are begging to find her
number two ticket to ride the Beatles
who said the lovable lads from Liverpool
couldn’t put some risque content in
their music go ahead and hum it to
yourself one more time before we shatter
your childhood memories
drum roll the fun-loving ticket to ride
is actually about Hamburg prostitutes
yes
The Beatles played thousands of shows in
the German city before traveling to
America and ladies of the night carry
the actual tickets to prove their health
and we all know the true meaning of
taking someone for a ride so there you
have it just don’t tell your mother
ah baby don’t care
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions I’m glad you can
you turn out the light I’ve got a hand
to me
like it’s me you again tonight Rosie
again
number one YMCA village people yeah
here’s something to think about the next
time you see your family members
cackling with glee and dancing to this
classic anthem the lyrics are a double
entendre for sexual hookups at the good
ole YMCA it’s no accident that the
Village People specifically identify a
spot where a young man can hang out with
all the boys so remember this at your
next wedding celebration
long before the concept of tinder there
was an actual place for the same kind of
connections the only difference is that
we’re not waving our arms in the air to
a song called Pinder
at least not yet
ah
so do you agree with our selections I
see Mexico what is your favorite song
you didn’t know was about sex my heart
is saying no for more cheeky top 10s
