Blog playlist: songs about wanking

Just a quickie, as it were. I love this Bowie cover of the Pixies' Cactus - here preformed live in a duet with Moby:



There's no tactful way to say this, even on a blog read by my mother: this is a song about masturbation. Spotify playlist ahoy! I've kicked things off with Turning Japanese and I Touch Myself. Any more for any more?

NB: this is a playlist for songs ABOUT. Not songs CONDUCIVE TO.

I feel like there must be a Belle and Sebastian song on this subject, but can't think of one! 'If You're Feeling Sinister' finishes by suggesting that you'd be better of pleasuring yourself than going to see a minister if you're suicidal...

Pictures of Lily — The Who
Blinded By The Light — Manfred Mann
She Bop — Cyndi Lauper
Orgasm Addict — The Buzzcocks (of course)

I'm pretty sure Prince has done a few of these.

And my word verification is rumpyu, which seems appropriate

There's a great line in Kenickie's 'In Your Car'... for context - boy has taken girl out for a drive in his car that has been admired in an early verse, they've gone back to his house and clearly gone for a shag. Then comes:

thanks for the ride
It sure beats walking

Love it.

Billy Bragg - St Swithin's Day (not about masturbation, but has great masturbation lyric)

Billy Joel - Captain Jack

Touching me, touching you by Squeeze. And to think I started this evening reading Milton and writing about poetry.

Billy Idol - Dancing with myself.

Madonna - Get into the Groove.

Haven't you got anything else to do, sis, like meeting a deadline...? ;)

But Sis, see how short the original post is!

I also thought of Tweet (I think, haven't looked it up yet) - remember that song 'whoops there goes my shirt over my head' etc. I'm sure she was alone at the time.

OMG there's a song about my birthday which has a WANKING lyric? I don't think I needed to know that...

Cannot add anything to this er interesting topic, but think I might have to avoid the Billy Bragg song.

Marie said...

All Spotified aside from Pink - not available. And I threw in 'Gett Off' my Prince just for good measure.

Get a Grip by Semisonic.

Lonely girls and you lonely boys,
playing along with your lonely toys,
well don't be blue,
because there's no one to play with you.

Get a grip on yourself
you know you should
I've got a grip on myself
and it feels good

Rosie, by Jackson Browne, on Running on Empty. And I swear to god I owned that cd for 20 years before I realized Rosie was rosie palm, not the name of a girl.

"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."
