This isn't an offensive song, but it shouldn't have been #1 across the globe for weeks.

Sexy and 17 by the Stray Cats. IDK if it actually got any mainstream radio airplay because they weren't a mainstream group and it was one of their B sides. But MTV played the shite out of the video and it's something that would never get made today for obvious reasons.

She's tight
She's ahead of her time
She's tight
She's one of a kind
She's tight
She's a talented girl
She's tight
She's got her head down tight
She's tight
She's giving me the go
She's tight
She's giving me the high sign
She's tight
We'll turn off the lights
She's tight
Pull down the shades
She's nice, she's tight
Turn on the cam'ra
She's nice, she's tight
And getting ready for action

My favorite soul jam of all time, and it’s going to be played at my funeral! The best double entendre track for sick minded guys like my unhumble self:

This song hit #1 in various countries around the world. Girl group whose target audience was much younger fans. The song and video are filled with sexual innuendo and double entendres.

I wanna know just what to do
Is it very big? Is there room for two? (oh-oh)

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

Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me (say you will)
C'est la vie

Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me (get a life!)
C'est la vie

Do you play with the girls, play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys? (Oh-oh)
We can talk, we can sing
I'll be the queen and you'll be the king (oh-oh)

Sexy and 17 peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was not a B-side.

She's just 16 years old
Leave her alone, they said
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet
But I want you to know
If I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen, ever seen

Depending on what you read and believe, EMF's Unbelievable is the only song to top the Billboard chart while including the word frick over 10 times.

The group sampled Andrew Dice Clay saying "Oh," but there's another sample that sounds like someone saying "What the frick was that?" Liner notes say it was from a Black Panther rally. Wikipedia says it was a snippet of the spoken word song "Silly shite" by Gylan Kain. Some say the word frick is in there, others say that it was as cut out and the music tricks your ear into hearing something not there.

A Top 10 hit in the U.S.

quote:

The track is an ode to masturbation. It was included on the Parents Music Resource Center's "Filthy Fifteen" list in 1984 due to it being considered "profane or sexually explicit"; this led to the creation of the Parental Advisory sticker. Lauper has stated that finding a copy of gay men's magazine Blueboy lying around in the recording studio provided the impetus for writing "She Bop". The magazine is mentioned in the first verse.

Hot Legs - Rod Stewart

Hot legs, you're makin' your mark
Hot legs, keep my pencil sharp
Hot legs, keep your hands to yourself
I love you, honey
Hot legs you're wearin' me out
Hot legs you can scream and shout
Hot legs, you're still in school
I love you, honey
Hot legs
Hot legs
Hot legs
Hot legs you're well-equipped
Hot legs oh your pussy's whipped
Hot legs I just love your lips
I love ya
I love ya
I love ya, honey
Hot legs
Hot legs
Hot legs
I love ya honey!
