Line 6:
Eventually, an alternative music band (although sometimes even a relatively mainstream music band) whose lyrics usually do ''not'' deal with fetishistic and/or [[Useful Notes/BDSM|sadomasochistic]] sex, will at ''some point'' write a song that (almost entirely) deals with fetishistic and/or sadomasochistic sex. It could be because they are actually kinky in real life, or it could merely be an attempt at sounding [[Darker and Edgier]]. Frequently invoked by [[Industrial]] bands, but many other genres do it too.
[[Bondage Is Bad]] [[Bound and Gagged|may]] or [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual|may not]] be invoked.
{{examples
* "Venus In Furs" by [[The Velvet Underground]] is almost certainly the [[Trope Maker]], way back in 1967. It's the title of a book about a man who enjoys being dominated by a rich woman, whom he calls his "Venus in furs." The book is old enough and well-known enough that James Joyce referred to it in the Nightown chapter of ''Ulysses''.
** The very name of the band (The Velvet Underground) comes from a book about New York City's BDSM scene.
Line 31:
** Updated with [[The Amateur Transplants]], who made the original sound rather vanilla.
* Another humorous oldie - "Freakin' at the Freakers' Ball'' by [[Shel Silverstein]].
* "Eat Me Alive" and "Pain and Pleasure" by [[Judas Priest (Music)|Judas Priest]]. However, despite the title, "[[Hell
* "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."}}
Line 41:
...<br />
[[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]] }}
* "Pretty Tied Up" by [[Guns N' Roses (Music)|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 Mini
* Similiar to the Tenchi example, there is a [[Weiss Kreuz]] song called ''Bosanova, Casanova'' with some [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]].
