Line 1: {{trope}} * "Christie Lee" by [[Billy Joel]] is about a woman who is impressed by a nightclub saxophone player's skill and takes him home with her to "perform." What keeps this from being merely veiled language is the fact that the lyrics explicitly make it clear she's not interested in him sexually, even in between the silly puns lampshading the obvious parallels to a very different situation: {{quote\| ''He couldn't see that Christie Lee was a woman~~<br />~~ Who didn't need another lover; all she wanted was the sax!'' }} * "Ten Cents a Dance" really ''is'' about the trials and tribulations of a woman who rents herself out as a dance partner -- [~~http://en.~~[wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Taxi_dancer~~:Taxi dancer\|a real phenomenon]] during the period it was written. That doesn't stop modern audiences, and possibly even the original listeners, from seeing a similarity to another, older profession. ''[[~~Bio~~BioShock ~~Shock~~(series)]] 2'' took it even further and featured it in the loading screen for Siren Alley, the city's red-light district. * "Firething" by Gudrun Gut, from the album Mortal Kombat: More Kombat. Intentionally plays up this trope, despite being about using a guy's lighter. Just take a look at the lyrics. http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858768604/ * A lot of songs by the Lords of Acid invoke this trope, being just barely ambiguous enough to make you think they may not be about sex. A good example is one of the mixes of the song "Pussy" that even has cats meowing in the background. * And then there's [[The Beatles]]: {{quote\| ''"When I hold you in my arms, and I feel your finger on my trigger~~<br />~~ I knooooowww nobody can do me no harm, because...~~<br />~~ Happiness is a warm gun, mama (bang bang, shoot shoot)"" }} * [[Jimi Hendrix]] was famous for using his guitar for visual innuendos when performing. * "Reach Out to the Truth-Reincarnation" has some rather...iffy...lyrics. {{quote\| Now I face out, I make head/I reach out cock and bull of this globe/Thinking to seeking on the whole moment now it's on!}} * ''[[Pink Floyd]] has the chorus in "Another Brick in the Wall: Part II" say "Hey! Teacher! Leave those kids alone!" [[Mondegreen\|It sounds like]] "Hey! Hitler! Leave those Jews alone!". Considering that the whole album is about protesting institutions that preached conformity and herd mentality, this was likely intended. {{reflist}} [[Category:Does This Remind You of Anything?]] [[Category:~~Music~~{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] ~~[[Category:Does This Remind You Of Anything]]~~
