Line 1:
{{trope}}
{{quote|''"She's just like a [[Everything
A music/lyrics trope. Subtrope of [[Playing to The Fetishes]] and related to [[Fetish Fuel]].
Line 30:
* "[[The Masochism Tango]]" by [[Tom Lehrer]], although it is an [[Unbuilt Trope|unbuilt parody]] of the genre, (as well as of [[Slap Slap Kiss]] tango dances. It's ''Tom Lehrer'' after all...)
** Updated with [[The Amateur Transplants]], who made the original sound rather vanilla.
* Another humorous oldie - "Freakin' at the Freakers' Ball
* "Eat Me Alive" and "Pain and Pleasure" by [[Judas Priest]]. However, despite the title, "[[Hell-Bent for Leather]]" is not one of these, instead being about leather-clad badassery. Neither is Island of Domination.
* "Whip It" by [[Devo]]. Although this is arguably a result of [[Misaimed Fandom]]. [[Word of God]] says it was actually meant as an inspirational song for [[Jimmy Carter]], president at the time, to "whip" American policy into shape. When it was a hit, people [[Completely Missing the Point|thought it was about S&M]], which amused the band enough that they said [[Sure Why Not]], and made the [[Notable Music Videos|video]] feature literal whipping.
{{quote|'''Jerry Casale''': "All the DJs and people hearing it assumed it was a song about beating off or sadomasochism, so we let them think that. We didn't want to ruin it and tell them the truth."}}
** Devo played the trope more straight in an early demo, "The Rope Song."
{{quote|''I found a girl with a pretty face
''I tied a rope around her waist
''I know when she's in and when she's out
''But there ain't nothing to guess about
...
''[[Safe Word|One word]] from her, and she'd be free
''But she's [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual|exactly where she wants to be]] }}
* "Pretty Tied Up" by [[Guns N' Roses]].
* The [[Anime]] ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' featured an [[Image Song]] on a soundtrack CD called ''Ojou-sama to O-yobi'', which loosely translates to "Call Me Mistress/Princess." It is sung by the [[Ojou]] Princess [[Beware the Nice Ones|Ayeka]]. The song involves her explaining to Tenchi that she is going to put him through [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|''Juraian Bridegroom Training'']]. Especially after the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAJM30VOl5A music video], this song became a [[Never Live It Down]] moment in [[Fanon]] for both Ayeka and her people. And the creepy thing about it? Even [[Token
* Similiar to the Tenchi example, there is a ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'' song called ''Bosanova, Casanova'' with some [https://web.archive.org/web/20100903144005/http://www.kekkai.org/wkcorner/media/bosanovacasanova.html provocative lyrics]. And since it is a duet between male singers, it even plays into the show's [[Ho Yay]] factor.
* "Hell in a Bucket" by the [[Grateful Dead]].
* "She Whipped" by Peter Tägtgren's Pain.
Line 51:
* Then, of course, there's "S&M (A Love Song)" and "Spank" by the Kidneythieves, the former featuring such lyrics as "pound the love out of me / beat the love out of me!" and in the latter "thick drops of rain sound like the way you spanked me / your pleasure thrills in every way you make me."
* By Vice Squad, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"Latex Love"]] and "Spikey Hair."
{{quote|''I wanna tie you up and whip you,
''Cause you're my dream-come-true! }}
* "The Thin Line" by [[Queensrÿche]].
* "House of Pain" by [[Van Halen]].
Line 62:
** "Watashi no Inu" ('my dog') is another [[Vocaloid]] example.
* Shackles and Whips both feature prominently in the bridge of [[Justin Timberlake]]'s ''Sexyback''.
* Even [[The Go
* The Marginal Prophets' "Mistress" is an ode to S&M.
* "''Bang Goes the Knighthood''" by The Divine Comedy approaches the subject with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
Line 68:
{{quote|"Take a bite of my bad girl meat...I'm gonna love you with my hands tied/show me your teeth"}}
** "Heavy Metal Lover" and "I Like It Rough" also play with this trope technically.
* Of course, [[Ludo]]'s "The Horror of Our Love".
* "House Of Wolves" by [[My Chemical Romance]] has shades of this.
* "Not My Slave" by [[Oingo Boingo]]. Well, it's one possible interpretation. Still, given that the song's "Club Dub Mix" begins with several musically-timed whip-snaps, one wonders how much ambiguity is actually existent. Oh, [[Danny Elfman]]...
Line 76:
* [[Madonna|My name is Dita. I'll be your mistress tonight.]]
** "Hanky Panky" could also fit this trope.
* "Margaret's Eyes" by [[King Missile]], in which the singer tries to describe the color of Margaret's eyes while she keeps him on a leash and puts out cigarettes on him. They also have ''Leather Clown'', in which is described a fictional relationship with a non-existing leather-clad, female clown, consisting of "kinky clown-domination stories"
* "Love" by [[Abney Park]].
* "Treat Me Like The Dog I am" by [[
* "Whip Appeal" by Babyface.
* Although the lyrics are cryptic, the [[Kaizers Orchestra]] song "Kaizers 115. drøm" has some definite BDSM-y subtext.
Line 86:
* There's a few songs by the [[Deftones]] with BDSM overtones, occasionally overlapping with [[Lyrical Dissonance]].
* Mainstream example: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|S&M]] by [[Rihanna]]. Lyrics:
{{quote|''I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
''Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
''Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me }}
* Cubiky's "Erotic Platonic".
* "Anna mulle piiskaa", a hit song by the Finnish band Apulanta. The title translates as "Spank Me".
Line 99:
* Green Jelly's "Whip Me Teenage Babe"
* "Lagartija Nick" by Bauhaus
* Here's an updated [https://web.archive.org/web/20141224224810/http://www.adrianhunter.com/jukebox.htm Bondage Jukebox] that includes most BDSM tracks and album covers.
* The French song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxpGNj1GTBo "Fais-moi mal"], written by [[Boris Vian]] and sung by Magali Noël. It's also a [[Parody]] of this kind of song.
* Korn's 2002 song "Beat It Upright".
Line 107:
* "Spread Your Legs" by Funker Vogt.
* The upbeat hit "Hurt So Good" by John Mellencamp.
{{quote|''Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby...}}
* "Lace and Leather" by [[Britney Spears]] falls into this..even with an electro guitar present.
** "Selfish" also mentions similar lyrics compared to "Lace and Leather"
Line 117:
* "Choke Me, Spank Me, Pull My Hair" by [[Xzibit]]
* Joan Armatrading's "(I Love It When You) Call Me Names" - even without the verse that you don't hear in the radio and video edits ("She's wearing heavy leather with lace/He's dressed up in cowboy taste"), it's still fairly explicit.
* "Dominance and Submission" from [[
* "Hooks in You" by [[Iron Maiden]]
* If taken literally, The Judybats' "Pain (Makes You Beautiful)" appears to be a surprisingly sweet take on this:
{{quote|''No sorrow tied, tied to me hurting you
''We delight in every torture I put you through }}
* Electric Wizard's "Torquemada '71" is this with a disturbing Spanish Inquisition twist. Their song "Venus in Furs", which is the same as the [[Trope Maker]] only in name, uses a more conventional approach.
* [[Modern Man]]'s "The Worst Dominatrix in L.A." straddles the line between an invocation and a subversion.
