Line 33:
* "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.

** Devo played the trope more straight in an early demo, "The Rope Song."
{{quote|
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<br />
But she's [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual|exactly where she wants to be]] }}
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."

Cause you're my dream-come-true! }}
* "The Thin Line" by [[Queensryche]].
Line 66:
* "''Bang Goes the Knighthood''" by The Divine Comedy approaches the subject with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
* [[Lady Gaga]]'s "Teeth"

** "Heavy Metal Lover" and "I Like It Rough" also play with this trope technically.
* Of course, Ludo's "The Horror of Our Love".
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|
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".
Line 107:
* "Spread Your Legs" by Funker Vogt.
* The upbeat hit "Hurt So Good" by John Mellencamp.
{{quote|
* "Lace and Leather" by [[Britney Spears]] falls into this..even with a eletro guitar present.
** "Selfish" also mentions similar lyrics compared to "Lace and Leather"
Line 120:
* "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|
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.
