Songs about S&M

[Saiyaman]

Well since Rock N Roll has started back in the fifties, it was very quickly apparent that sex sells and WILL sell.

But while songs about sex have been there from day one, let's talk about the songs where the mistress makes you worship her...

First up, the Rolling Stones with "When the whip comes down"

Here's the pride of my native country Golden Earring with "Leather" Alright for my gesundheid...

The first song that came to mind when I thought up this thread: Guns N Roses with "Pretty tied up"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw3Hm5hHy0I

Of course it's not just the guys, Madonna got all leathered up as well in "Human nature"

On my upcoming album there's a song about S&M as well it's called "Catface" I guess the title says enough on what that's about...

Can't have a topic about kinky songs without Prince, here's "Automatic" where he BEGS his mistress not to torture him...

"Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" by Ian Dury and The Blockheads

There's loads about crossdressing (Lola, etc), but that would be a different thread...

Suzanne Vega - My Name Is Luka

How can we forget about Rihanna?

[someoneyouknow]

Judas Priests' Pain and Pleasure (though it's not strictly S&M):

[desertslave]

Lords of Acid - The Power Is Mine

I don't think this (if any) is Rhianna's strongest song in terms of the original post.

I'd say that the entire 'Erotica' album by Madonna, from the way the album is packaged through the lyrics, marketing at the time, and composition of music, is the ultimate in Femdom. I know people hate Madonna, but I honestly can't think of any woman who has done as much in terms of female domination, or BDSM, as she has in pop culture. IMO.

I've always been fond of Pat Benatar's "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" for a FemDomme tune.

Sarah McLachlan's "Possession" is supposed to be about a stalker, but...<shrug>.

And there's the Rolling Stones' "When the Whip Comes Down." I always thought that would be a fun song at a play party.

I loved the video (remember them?) of Human Nature where she "spanks" the itsy bitsy dog. The whole thing was about femdom, bondage and s&m. And sex of course.

No, I don't care for her but I won't begrudge her success.

Anything by that stunning black Domme, Grace Jones.

Let's get classic: VENUS IN FURS - Velvet Underground

And of course: THE MASOCHISM TANGO - Tom Lehrer

I was given a Tom Lehrer 45 when I was twelve - Masochism Tango b/w Poisoning Pigeons In The Park - Tom Lehrer made me what I am today.

The Velvet Underground has never been high on my list. But my cousin had a Tom Lehrer LP and I drove her mad listening to it when I visited that family whilst on leave.

I love this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAEmhqdLFs

Suzanne Vega - My Name Is Luka

That one's about an abusive relationship, rather than BDSM.

Depeche Mode, "Master and Servant": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rhSzcj157Q

Divinyls, "Pleasure and Pain" (more about codependency, but BDSM-y vibes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj4tZgpzUjo

Early Nine Inch Nails has a fair bit of BDSM content, stuff like "Closer": http://vimeo.com/3554226

Iron Maiden, "22 Acacia Avenue": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zyUG0KHlKk

Lords of the New Church, "Dance With Me" (okay, just a brief mention of bondage, but I like it anyway): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CYN14Ki5o8

Frankie Goes To Hollywood, "Relax" (more the video than the song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXMx9XdL-fs

Alice Cooper, "Poison" and "Bed of Nails" both have a BDSM-y vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq4j1LtCdww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsV_i5ovd7A

Probably some Marilyn Manson, but meh.

Die Ärzte, "Sweet Sweet Gwendoline": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v40C9yN78jo (German lyrics, subtitles aren't the best, but you get the idea)

Umbra et Imago, "Sweet Gwendoline" (also in German but very different song): http://lyrics-translations.com/song...mago/lyrics-and-translation-sweet-gwendoline/

Sam Cooke

 

[PervOtaku]

Even though it's not something most of you will be familiar with, I cannot let this thread pass by without mentioning the song "Oujosama to Oyobi (Call Me Princess)" sung by Ayeka of Tenchi Muyo.

 

[RoyceConnors]

Push by Matchbox 20 has an edge of BDSM to it

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Depeche Mode, "Master and Servant": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rhSzcj157Q

First one that came t my mind.

Also, Queensryche - The Thin Line


I wrote a bdsm song, but I never recorded it (not yet anyway ).

Remember them all. The 'Justify My Love', video, which was pulled from just about every video station, was particularly fetish and BDSM oriented.

I think (?) the song/video pre-dated her 'Erotica' album, and her book 'Sex', but I always felt it was part of the package.

Frank Zappa, Zoot Allures , The Torture Never Stops, must be on the list!!!!!

As long we're on Zappa, how could I have forgotten "Penguins In Bondage"?
