Carry on rocking
Bob Dylan makes use of sexual innuendo in his rather marvellous song 'Absolutely Sweet Marie' as follows:
Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
There must surely be other song writers who have come up with suggestively fruity double entendre lyrics while fiddling with their instrument (ooh er), as in piano or guitar of course.

disgraceful smut and filth (and all damn good fun)
I give you Jackson Browne "Rosie". On the surface it's about a touring band's sound guy. He meets a groupie who goes off with the band's drummer. You'd think Rosie was the name of the groupie. Nope. It's the name of his *cough* *cough* *blush*
"But Rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- I've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie"
and XTC's "Pink Thing".
Are we reaaaaally to believe it's about Mr. Partridge's son?
"Anytime you rise, I'm here,
And I'm crazy for you pink thing...
When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high,
Pink thing.
I want to take you out and show you round the world,
Pink thing it'll be OK.
If I could only wake you from your slumber curled,
Pink thing what would straight folks say?"
*giggles*
Peter Green
...wasn't always the spiritual "Albatross" writing mystic - he did the shake like the rest of us....
Rattlesnake Shake
Baby, if you got to rock
I got to be your rockin' horse
Baby, think you'd like to roll
Make me your diggin' mole
They're shakin' the world
When it's time to crash
But when I get home tonight
I guess I got to shake myself
You need some love
You must have the blues
Ain't but the one thing
A good man can do
He do the shake
The rattlesnake shake
Man, do the shake
Yes, and jerk away the blues
Now, jerk it
Now, I know this guy
His name is Mick
Now, he don't care when he ain't got no chick
He do the shake
The rattlesnake shake
Yes, he do the shake
And jerks away the blues
Now, jerk it
Brass in Pocket
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination...
T. Rex - Mambo Sun
I got a powder-keg leg for you
And my wig's all pooped for you
I tried that line at a party once. Just the once.
A few from Master Bates
"I take off my watch and my earrings
My bracelets and everything
Lie on my back and moan at the ceiling
Oh my baby
Think about you and that long ride
I bite my nails I get weak inside
Reach over and turn off the light
Oh my baby
The way you move it's right in time
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me
The way you move it's right in time
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me"
Lucinda Williams/Right on Time

"I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feelin' down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
Chorus:
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You're the one who makes me happy honey
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you
Chorus
I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feelin' down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
Chorus
I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you
I touch myself
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah"
I touch myself/The Divinyls
OR
"Unzip that jacket
That leather smells so sweet
Put your chest against mine
Feel my heart beat
I love the way your belt fits
The way it hangs so low
So low on your hips my darling
I want you so
I love your sweet, sweet lips
I love your salty taste
I love your finger tips
When I reach for your waist?! Uh-huh...
The smell of burning leather
as we hold each other tight
As our rivets rub together
flashing sparks into the night
At this moment of surrender darling
if you really care
Don't touch me there"
Don't touch me there/The Tubes.
(Somehow to now mention Turning Japanese/The Vapors would be adding insult to injury..... So I won't.)

Andy P from Xtc again. Check out the dirty @littlr brown guitar@. It's about his schlong.
If Morrissey appears to be walking funny
it's because, according to him:
There are explosive kegs
Between my legs
Dear God, please help me
Evidently a Bolan fan

Bed Spring Poker (Meat In Motion) 1926-1951
is a various artists compilation of blues. The whole concept of the album is songs full of innuendo. Here's some of the tracks -
Let Me Play With Your Poodle
Stinging Snake Blues
Comb Your Kitty Cat
Lead Pencil Blues
My Babys Playground
....and I just got one of these ipod moments(from another thread). While reading this, Lucinda Williams "Right In Time" came up on the shuffle.
The Blues
There's a lot of that kind of thing in the blues isn't there? So much originated from that source.
