When [[Ian Dury]] sung about [[Sex, Drugs and Rock Andand Roll|Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll]] he covered not only the Rock n Roll lifestyle but also the majority of musical lyrics. There are [[Intercourse Withwith You|songs about sex]], songs about drugs and songs about [[In Da Club|dancing to]] and [[Heavy Meta|appreciating music itself]].
 
However, it's seems Dury was getting into the [[Redundant Department of Redundancy]] because so many songs treat sex or love as though it is a drug. Well after all there are only so many appropriate metaphors out there so the ones that work will turn up a lot.

* [[Queens of the Stone Age]] have a song like this, titled "Like a drug", natch.
* "Hooked on a Feeling," [[Covered Up|best known]] in the version by Blue Swede.
* "Intoxication" by [[Disturbed (Music)|Disturbed]].

** "Serpentine" has hints of this as well.
Line 43:
* "Love Is a Drug" by country music band Jypsi.
* "Just Can't Get Enough" by [[Black Eyed Peas]].
