Line 11:
* "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.
* "Pain", by [[Three Days Grace]] is [[Exactly What It Says
* "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by Iggy and the Stooges. Iggy Pop alluded to it being about bondage in an interview. The lyrics are not so subtle.
* A very early [[David Bowie]] song, "Little Toy Soldier," borrows some lyrics from Venus in Furs for very creepy results since it's about a [[Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour|child's toy.]]
Line 21:
* "Torment Me" by Suicide Commando
* "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex. Complete with saxophone solo.
* "Happiness in Slavery" by [[Nine Inch Nails]] is a [[
** Granted, a ''lot'' of NIN songs have shades of this ("Closer," "Head Like a Hole," "Meet Your Master," etc.), though it's generally subverted because most of their OBS's usually mean something else completely. With [[I Am the Band|them]] it's more like "obligatory bondage ''video'', considering the music video can get pretty...odd.
* "Torture Me" by Metric
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 [[
* "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 42:
[[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 [[
* 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-Moe|Sasami]] helps Ayeka out in her training.
* 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]].
Line 50:
* "Little Mary Sunshine" from ''[[Reefer Madness (Film)|Reefer Madness: The Musical]]''.
* 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
{{quote| I wanna tie you up and whip you,<br />
Cause you're my dream-come-true! }}
Line 57:
* [[Sarah Brightman]], of all people, with "Once in a Lifetime." If you take her connections to Enigma and Gregorian into account, it makes a bit more sense.
* Adam Lambert's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsPFDzAGb4A For Your Entertainment]" takes place at a bondage club, and includes lyrics like "Take the pain, take the pleasure; I'm the master of both."
* "Poison" and "Bed of nails" by [[
* [[Vocaloid]] and UTAU are basically a collection of user-generated content using the Vocaloid/UTAU program. This means that anyone can make a Vocaloid sing anything they want. [[Freud Was Right|Anything.]]
** The Rin Kagamine song ''Iroha Uta'' opens up with a list of the various things the singer wants to be tied up with. The rest of the song is a touch more subtle, but the implications are still there.
Line 85:
* "My Latex Queen" by Dark Funeral.
* There's a few songs by the [[Deftones]] with BDSM overtones, occasionally overlapping with [[Lyrical Dissonance]].
* Mainstream example: [[Exactly What It Says
{{quote| I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it<br />
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it<br />
Line 91:
* Cubiky's "Erotic Platonic".
* "Anna mulle piiskaa", a hit song by the Finnish band Apulanta. The title translates as "Spank Me".
* "Queen Of Pain" by [[
* Good With Grenades gives us "Bruises and Bitemarks". Subject to a rather odd misaimed fandom at times, with people using it for warrior cats fan videos.
* The Queercore band Pansy Division, specifically "James Bondage", with a subversion in "Vanilla" which is about how the singer isn't all that kinky at all.
* The Adam and the Ants song "Beat My Guest" is a pretty straightforward example of this.
** As is their "Whip in My Valise"
* [[
* Green Jelly's "Whip Me Teenage Babe"
* "Lagartija Nick" by Bauhaus
