I attended a rehearsal of local shanty group in the upstairs room of their local. When we reached a natural beer-break I offered to go to the bar downstairs & fetch up the drinks... However what I said was " I'm going down if anyone wants anything!!" Totally unintentionally wrecking their rehearsal!

my friends dad always used to say eat every potato and PEA on your plate.

I also know one that my grandad used to say in Czech but it doesnt translate to English.

It's the "willie" songs that always get me .....I can't sing them with a straight face

For example ( lifted straight from the DT )
But my heart grew sad again When I found you had not come; Oh! Willie, we have missed you; Welcome, welcome home!

I think that John McCutcheon has an album of duets called "Plays Well With Others"

From "I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter" (Fats Waller or Jelly Roll Morton?), the line "a lot of kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I got 'em." One old dixieland musician called it the "kisses on the bottom" song.

I used to kiss her on the lips, but it's all over now; A roll on the drums, and a sandwich on the piano;

A guy in England, years ago, called Ken Dodd did a song which went "Happiness happiness the greatest gift that I posses, I thank the Lord that I've been blessed with more than my share of happiness" Sang with poor diction it takes on a whole different meaning. Not really double entendre but still amusing. JohnB

How is "Do That To Me One More Time " a DOUBLE entendre? What ELSE does it mean? Are they talking about playing the pink recorder or no?

Now this is the kind of question that makes me really miss my Dad. Off the top of his head he'd come up with a list of these things that would have you alternately wincing and laughing. From my limited folk song knowledge, I'd suggest the four McCurdy Dalliance records, whose raison d'être seems to be to highlight the double entendre.

Non-musical: I never understood how Beaver Cleaver of "Leave It To Beaver" ever got past Ms. Goodbody, the censor.

Well, there's the lime in at least one version of Red Rever Valley"...Can I leave her behind, unprotected?..."

Not to mention that in The Jam on Gerry's Rocks "...They granted her her final wish, to be laid by Young Monroe..."

The first violinist for the Wichita, Kansas Symphony was once introduced in a recital this way:

"And now, Ms. Beatrice Pease, on her violin"

If you really like double entendre, you should get into sea shanteys. Raise the sheets and spanker! (Best understood said outloud). There's a lot more... Margo

LOL Mary......One of our foster girls was completely into the MeatLoaf song, "I'll do anything for love, but I won't do that." Sang it, played it all the time. Problem was, she would do THAT and everything else..........

Do That To Me One More Time

I hated to hear my six-year-old daughter singing this one (complete with bump and grind). It wasn't so much the sexual entendre, but the passiveness it suggested.

Baden Powell of course had his magnus opus 'Scouting for Boys' but recently I noticed at the Scout Shop in Sheffield a business plate on the office door saying Sheffield Boy Scouts Holdings Limited

A woman walked into a bar and asked for a double entendre.
So the barman gave her one!
Sorry, no musical ones occur to me at the moment.

I am a great fan of the double entendre and was most amused many years ago to discover that the film and music industry are not immune. The 1950 Kirk Douglas film "Young Man With a Horn" has raised some eyebrows as indeed has that great harp player and member of The Chieftains, Derek Bells marvellous album "Derek Bell Plays With Himself." Any Mudcatters got any more examples? and I don't want "The Secret Policeman's Ball."
