Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: Jason Xion Wang Date: 26 Sep 17 - 03:22 PM Tunesmith, the song you referred to is "NOT TONIGHT, MARIE", a hilarious song done in a Broadway-esque style. Bob Gibson has a song basically on the same theme, called "I'd Love to Love You (But Your Time Is Just a Little Off)". I don't think it's ever released to the public. |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: Lighter Date: 26 Sep 17 - 11:25 AM The song that prompted Lewis's appreciative remarks was "One-Eyed Riley." [see REILLY'S DAUGHTER] |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: Lighter Date: 26 Sep 17 - 11:20 AM C. S. Lewis to his brother, Christmas 1931: "Bawdy [songs] ought to be outrageous and extravagant.... [They] can [also] be funny through sheer indefensible insolence. "...Within ... limits I think [bawdry] is a good and wholesome genre: though I can't help feeling sorry that it should be the only living folk-art left to us." |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: BobL Date: 26 Sep 17 - 04:41 AM Leenia, I beg to disagree. There is something essentially comic about sex, jokes about it exist in every human culture. Indeed, that very perceptive religious writer C.S.Lewis summed up the "incongruous symbiosis" between romantic and physical love as "one of God's jokes." "In Eros at times we seem to be flying; Venus gives us the sudden twitch that reminds us we are really captive balloons. It is a continual demonstration of the truth that we are composite creatures, rational animals, akin on one side to the angels, on the other to tom-cats. It is a bad thing not to be able to take a joke ... made, I grant you, at our expense, but also (who doubts it?) for our endless benefit." [The Four Loves] |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: GUEST,Tunesmith Date: 25 Sep 17 - 01:16 PM I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but Tom Paxton wrote a humorous song involving sex. He used to introduce the song by saying that there are lots of songs about falling in love, and, also, lots of songs about falling out of love, but, hardly any about the central ground where relatinships are just ticking over. I can't remember the title..but somebody out there will... |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: GUEST,Bob Coltman Date: 22 May 17 - 04:22 PM I skimmed the thread and may have missed, but didn't find: WILL THE WEAVER = EVERY DAY DIRT = Jumpin' and Jerkin' Blues & FIVE NIGHTS DRUNK (OUR GOODMAN), from which comes: What's that head a-doin' there [in our bed] where my head ought to be? ... It's nothing but a cabbage head your mama sent to me ... & much more ========= And hi, leeneia ... I don't know whether you would disagree ... but for some people, laughter is the only way they can kill off their embarrassment at confronting something so majestic, so threatening as sex (and the danger of love). To me personally, that's sad! But I've seen it happen a lot. Frat humor, for example. Beyond that, most of the jokes about sex are vulgar and propelled by fear, but people laugh. With a twinge. Thus the bleak, repellent turn taken in the last verse of the otherwise gentle and in its way humorous song "LITTLE BALL OF YARN"—which is also about STDs. The only way, evidently, for them to keep from feeling deeply what they can't afford to feel deeply. They see no way to approach sex but to try to shrink its stature and insulate the emotions from it. Thus to somehow (at least appear to) get it under control. Best wishes, Bob |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: leeneia Date: 22 May 17 - 12:26 PM Re: YOU LEFT ME SORE. What's humorous about contracting an STD? I don't think I have ever encountered a truly humorous song about sex. Snide, yes. Mean, yes. Smarmy, yes. Sex can be magical; it can be horrible. It can be affectionate; it can be tiresome. But it's never humorous. It is fraught with emotion and conveys hazard. It means too much. |

Subject: Lyr Add: YOU LEFT ME SORE (Todd Rundgren) From: Jim Dixon Date: 20 May 17 - 10:25 PM The Beanster suggested this back on 22-Sep-2000: YOU LEFT ME SORE Written by Todd Rundgren As recorded by Todd Rundgren on "Something/Anything?" (1972) Love is infectious and I was a victim, The worst case you'd ever see, But still I know no doctor or nurse Could cure what you gave to me. CHORUS: 'Cause you Really, you left me sore, Really left me sore, now, baby. You messed me up for sure and I don't mean maybe, 'Cause you really left me sore. You didn't tell me and I didn't ask, So there's nobody left to blame But still I know no place I can go That helps to relieve the pain. CHORUS Now I know no good ever comes From love on a one-night stand. CHORUS TWICE |

Subject: Lyr Add: TOO CLOSE TOGETHER (Sonny Boy Williamson From: Jim Dixon Date: 18 May 17 - 08:19 PM Oversoul mentioned this. Sonny Boy Williamson recorded two versions of this song. From the sound, I think the first of these is the earlier one: TOO CLOSE TOGETHER As recorded by Sonny Boy Williamson [II] I. 2.36 – from the album "King Biscuit Time" (2000): Well, you take back in the year nineteen an' forty-four: I had two fine chicks lived right door-to-door. They were too close together. Yeah, too close together. It was too close together, man, but that was the best that I could do. Well, I woke up early one mornin' to make a 'fore-day creep. [By the] Time I knocked on the door the other girl was lookin' at me. It was too close together. Yeah, they was too close together. It was too close together, but that was the best that I could do. Well, I slipped in the back door to get me a little toddy(?). Before I could walk out the door, she knowed all about it. It was too close together. Yeah, it was too close together. I know it was too close together, but that was the best that I could do. II. 2:10 or 2:12 - from the albums "Ninety Nine" (2017) and "The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson" (1993) I had two fine chicks, lived both on the same street. Too much love, and the time couldn't be beat. It was too close together. Yes, man, they lived too close together. Yeah, they was so close together, that I couldn't see one for the other. Early one Sunday mornin' they both would go to church. I tried to slip one out, but I see it just won't work. It was too close together. Yeah, they was too close together. I know it was too close together, an' I couldn't see one for the other. Got up early one mornin', thought I was makin' a 'fore-day creep. Time I knocked on her door, the other girl says: "Is you lookin' for me?" They was too close together. Oh, yeah, they was too close together. I know it was too close together, an' I couldn't see one for seein' the other. |

Subject: Lyr Add: SEX AIDS FROM AMSTERDAM From: Rusty Dobro Date: 15 Jan 17 - 04:00 AM Or there's this, from the late, lamented Monty Parkin: SEX AIDS FROM AMSTERDAM When it's spring again I'll bring again Sex aids from Amsterdam Tulips just won't do, I'll bring to you Sex aids from Amsterdam. I can't wait until the day I fill these empty arms of mine, Like the windmill keeps gyrating, so the coach will be vibrating From the suitcase where I cram All these sex aids from Amsterdam When it's spring again I'll bring again Sex aids from Amsterdam, Once I've done the view I'll buy some new Sex aids from Amsterdam. I can't wait until I pay the bill and fill up these bags of mine, Like the windmill keeps on whirling, that's how your toes will be curling, When I stand there spreading jam on a sex aid from Amsterdam. When it's spring again I'll bring again Sex aids from Amsterdam, From my bargain break, back home I'll take Sex aids from Amsterdam. I can't wait until I try the drill with these new toys of mine, Like the windmill keeps revolving all our problems I'll be solving, It looks fun in the diagram, with these sex aids from Amsterdam. This one weighs a kilogram, It's a sex aid from Amsterdam. I'll bring sex aids from Amsterdam. |

Subject: Lyr Add: I NEVER DO ANYTHING TWICE (S Sondheim) From: Jim Dixon Date: 14 Jan 17 - 05:56 PM WyoWoman mentioned this and posted partial lyrics on 23-Sep-2000: I NEVER DO ANYTHING TWICE Words and music by Stephen Sondheim, 1976. As sung by Millicent Martin on "Side by Side by Sondheim" (Original London Cast Recording) 1. When I was young and simple—I don't recall the date— I met a handsome captain of the guard. He visited my chambers one evening very late, In tandem with a husky St. Bernard. At first, I was astonished, and tears came to my eyes, But later, when I asked him to resume, He said, to my surprise: "My dear, it isn't wise. Where love is concerned, one must freshen the bloom. CHORUS: "Once, yes, once for a lark. Twice, though, loses the spark. One must never deny it, But after you try it, You vary the diet." Said my handsome young guard: "Yes, I know that it's hard. Still, no matter how nice, I never do anything twice. Unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh." 2. I think about the baron who came at my command And proffered me a riding crop and chains. The evening that we shared was meticulously planned. He took the most extraordinary pains! He trembled with excitement; his cheeks were quite aglow, And afterwards he cried to me: "Encore!" He pleaded with me so to have another go. I murmured caressingly: "Whatever for? CHORUS: "Once, yes, once is a lark. Twice, though, loses the spark. Once, yes, once is delicious, But twice would be vicious, Or just repetitious. Someone's bound to be scarred. Yes, I know that it's hard. Still, no matter the price, I never do anything twice. Unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh-unh." 3. And then there was the abbot who worshiped at my feet And dressed me in a wimple and in veils. He made a proposition which I found rather sweet, And handed me a hammer and some nails. In time, we lay contented and he began again By fingering the beads around our waists. I whispered to him then: "We'll have to say 'Amen,' For I have developed more catholic tastes. CHORUS: "Once, yes, once for a lark. Twice, though, loses the spark." As I said to the abbot, "I'll get in the habit, But not in the habit. You've my highest regard, And I know that it's hard. Still, no matter the vice, I never do anything twice. CHORUS: "Once, yes, once can be nice. Love requires some spice. If you've something in view, Something to do, Totally new, I'll be there in a trice, But I never do anything twice, Except— No, I never do anything twice." [Written by Sondheim for the film The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (1976), where it was called "The Madame's Song", it was later retitled "I Never Do Anything Twice" and used in the musical revue "Side by Side by Sondheim" (1976). [Bebe Neuwirth sings this excellently on her album "Porcelain" (2011) under the title "The Madame Song."] |

Subject: Lyr Add: YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON (Randy Newman) From: Jim Dixon Date: 14 Jan 17 - 11:47 AM YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON Words and music by Randy Newman, 1972. As recorded by Randy Newman on "Sail Away," 1972. Baby, take off your coat, Real slow. Baby, take off your shoes. Yeah, I'll take your shoes. Baby, take off your dress.[*] Yes, yes, yes. You can leave your hat on. You can leave your hat on. You can leave your hat on. Go on over there and turn on the light— No, all the lights. Come back here; stand on this chair. That's right. Raise your arms up to the air. Shake 'em. You give me reason to live. You give me reason to live. You give me reason to live. You give me reason to live. Suspicious minds are talkin', Tryin' to tear us apart. They say that my love is wrong, They don't know what love is. They don't know what love is. They don't know what love is. They don't know what love is. I know what love is. [Covered by Etta James, 1974; Joe Cocker, 1986; and several others.] [* When Etta James sang this, she sang "take off that mess."] |

Subject: Lyr Add: NOT PC (D. McFarlane) From: BusyBee Paul Date: 12 Mar 11 - 10:52 AM One from Mudcat's own Hipflask Andy: Not PC words and music - D.McFarlane Frustrated at work by the yet another network crash – and having just read through the 'bawdy' chapter in Kennedy's Folk Song Book, what else was I to do with the afternoon? I don't 'do' comedy, but since I included this in my set (as a spoof) it's gone down so well, I get told off when I don't include it. It's become my most requested song - now I find that VERY disturbing! Not PC: As I was once a-walking in me place of work one day I spied a pretty maiden she unto me did say 'If you've the time and trouble then I will have you stand And help me with me windows, sir for I could use a hand' She'd quite a case before her, a lovely monitor screen The contours of her keyboard were the finest I had seen I leaned to take a closer look, twas then our eyes did meet Says she 'Why don't you press control and follow with alt/delete' Well I'm no expert at this lark in fact I'm quite a dunce But I can spot an opening, need asking only once No sooner was I next to her she this to me did say "I hope you've got your caps lock on, press insert right away!" She bid me tap on enter oh, now guess then what I found She had me press on home and then page up and then page down I scanned her user area, I could hardly believe me eyes She searched right through me files and made me RAM increase in size! When I plugged in the modem I could tell she was a sport For she displayed both parallel and also serial port Says I, I love your bluescreen, yes now that will do the trick But just to be quite certain gave her mouse a double click As her new service provider I gave as much as she could take But I must shift on out of here, log off now, press escape 'For it is getting late' says I and 'I'm half afraid to ask But can I save this document? It's time to end the task' Well, the answer that she gave me – oh, it filled me with surprise 'I see you've now a floppy where you once had a hard drive! But don't erase your memory for me favour you did earn And I'll be waiting here for you, should ever you return' I'd opened up her folder, I'd surfed a little while She'd been desperate for a defrag, her connection I had dialled We'd scrolled around for hours but now a thought's filled me with fear I'll have to have a virus check when I get out of here! This is available on his "Acoustic Recs" CD but he has now installed an upgrade (Version 1.01) in his live sets! www.duncanmcfarlane.co.uk |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: GUEST,John Hill Date: 11 Oct 00 - 08:56 AM Surely JennieG you already know the tune to "Let's do it" as it's a parody of the old standard of the same name. [LET'S DO IT (LET'S FALL IN LOVE)] Didn't Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers sing it? My vote goes to "THE WIDOW'S PROMISE" too as mentioned by Cavia P. Mick Ryan always introduces this song by saying he was reading an article in Cosmopolitan in bed one night on women's sexuality. The fact that they have more sexual stamina than men gave him the idea of this marathon between the devil and a widow who lived on the moor. She wins of course. The song is in the DT |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: Susanne (skw) Date: 10 Oct 00 - 07:17 PM Jennie, yes it does. Do you live in the UK? If so, I'm sure you could get a recording by Victoria Wood. I only have a taped performance by Iain MacKintosh which is hilarious but not faultless. It would give you the tune, though. Contact me at skw@worldmusic.de if you're still interested.

Subject: Lyr Add: BARRY AND FREDA / LET'S DO IT (V Wood)^^ From: Susanne (skw) Date: 03 Oct 00 - 04:26 PM This gem doesn't seem to be in the DT. As far as I'm concerned it is the ultimate humorous sex song! (THE BALLAD OF) BARRY AND FREDA (LET'S DO IT) (Victoria Wood) As recorded on "Victoria Wood Live" (1988) Freda and Barry sat one night The sky was clear, the stars were bright The wind was soft, the moon was up Freda drained her cocoa cup She licked her lips, she felt sublime She switched off Gardener's Question Time Barry cringed in fear and dread As Freda grabbed his tie and said Let's do it, let's do it, do it while the mood is right I'm feeling appealing, I've really got an appetite I'm on fire with desire I could handle half the tenors in the male voice choir Let's do it, let's do it tonight But he said I can't do it, I can't do it, I don't believe in too much sex This fashion for passion turns us into nervous wrecks No derision, my decision - I'd rather watch the Spinners on the television I can't do it, I can't do it tonight So she said Let's do it, let's do it, do it till our hearts go boom Go native, creative, living in the living room This folly, it's jolly Bend me over backwards on my hostess trolley Let's do it, let's do it tonight But he said I can't do it, I can't do it, my heavy-breathing days are gone I'm older, feel colder, it's other things that turn me on I'm imploring, I'm boring Let me read this catalogue on vinyl flooring I can't do it, I can't do it tonight So she said Let's do it, let's do it, have a crazy night of love I'll strip bare, I'll just wear stilettos and an oven glove Don't starve a girl of her palaver Dangle from the wardrobe in your balaclava Let's do it, let's do it tonight But he said I can't do it, I can't do it, I know I'd only get it wrong Don't angle for me to dangle, my arms have never been that strong Stop pouting, stop shouting You know I pulled a muscle when I did that grouting I can't do it, I can't do it tonight Let's do it, let's do it, share a night of wild romance Frenetic, poetic, this could be your last big chance To quote Milton, to eat Stilton To roll in gay abandon on the tufted Wilton Let's do it, let's do it tonight I can't do it, I can't do it, I've got other little jobs on hand Don't grouse around the house, I've got a busy evening planned Stop nagging, I'm flagging You know as well as I do that the pipes want lagging I can't do it, I can't do it tonight Let's do it, let's do it while I'm really in the mood Three cheers! It's years since I caught you even semi-nude Get drastic, gymnastic Wear your baggy Y-fronts with the loose elastic Let's do it, let's do it tonight I can't do it, I can't do it, I must refuse to get undressed I feel silly it's too chilly, to go without my thermal vest Don't choose me, don't use me My mother sent a note that says you must excuse me I can't do it, I can't do it tonight Let's do it, let's do it, I really absolutely must I won't exempt you, want to tempt you, want to drive you mad with lust No caution, just contortions Smear an avocado on my lower portions Let's do it, let's do it tonight I can't do it, I can't do it, it's really not my cup of tea I'm harassed, embarrassed, I wish you hadn't picked on me No barter, non-starter I feel about as sensuous as Jimmy Carter I can't do it, I can't do it tonight Let's do it, let's do it, I really want to run amok Let's wiggle, let's jiggle, let's really make the rafters rock Be mighty, be flighty Come and melt the buttons on my flame-proof nightie Let's do it, let's do it tonight Let's do it, let's do it, I really want to rant and rave Let's go, 'cause I know just how I want you to behave Not bleakly, not meekly, Beat me on the bottom with the Woman's Weekly Let's do it, let's do it tonight |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: celticblues5 Date: 02 Oct 00 - 01:18 AM I am wondering, along with MM, what am I missing in Bonnie Ship the Diamond? The Dalliance records have already been mentioned - LOTS of good songs there. [I didn't know there was a third one! I'll have to look for it.] Plus, when you get these, you have a ready-made trivia question for your theatre-fanatic friends - What well-respected older actor once played on a record of bawdy songs? (Alan Arkin) Saffire introduces Silver Beaver by saying that, since bluesmen have a long tradition of singing about their snakes, roosters, etc., they thought it was time to introduce a FEMALE blues animal into the mix.....;-) You might see if you can find some of Julia Lee's old recordings too - she was a master (mistress?) of the risque - (eg - "My doorbell ain't been working/my hallway's full of dust/my vestibule is musty/my keyhole's full of rust/but tonight's the night...") And, of course, you must either start or end the evening with Tom Lehrer's "SMUT" ("I've never quibbled/if it was ribald,") |

Subject: RE: Humorous Sex Songs From: GUEST,Joerg Date: 01 Oct 00 - 09:05 PM Khbreit - I think I can recommend you to take a look at the abc notation and use some freeware utility like abc2midi to turn it into some thing you can listen to. The only knowledge it requires is to identify the tone (i.e. its "name") from the key you hit (e.g. on a piano) or from the note you see on a piece of sheet music. This may be a little euphemistic as there are still other aspects of music, but still - IMHO that's the most advanced opportunity to communicate music to and from listening. Works in both directions, really. I am especially interested in the tune you are using because when I read those lyrics some special KIND of tune comes to my mind (with many variations possible but it would remain the same kind) and I wonder from what song (songs?) I know it, and I also wonder whether you are thinking of the same. Joerg |
