Day 28 - A song about sex that isn’t sexy

 

[UnquietDreams]

Day 28: A song about sex that isn't sexy.

A sex song written by people who I am pretty sure vaguely understand the process at it's technical level, but I am not sure have ever experienced it. Hokey and poorly written, with some of the worst metaphors ever laid down on paper. And earnest -- so fucking earnest. It is the Afterschool Special of sex songs. The video wholeheartedly hits that vibe as well.

Also, it was nominated for three Emmys (Best Arrangement for Voices, which they won, as well as Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, and Song of the Year) where the song won one and the band wond for Best New Artist (a catagory fraught with danger, heh). The Starland Vocal Band also got a weekly variety show on CBS. So bad sex songs sell. Also, I have a very vivid memory of me and the rest of my elementary screaming this song at the top of our lungs every recess for quite a while with no idea what it was about. I am not sure if that horrified or delighted the recess monitors...

"Afternoon Delight, The Starland Vocal Band.

The Killing of Georgie - Rod Stewart

 

[IrrelevantFacts]

Day 28: A song about sex but isn't sexy

Mindless Self Indulgence is a fantastic, chaotic band. They made music that didn't exist before them and barely existed after they broke up.

It must be your face, or your body
If it ain't your body then it must be your face

Get it up- Mindless Self Indulgence

 

[Cjbdd]

Sublime – Date Rape​

 

[curious_slut]

Day 28: A song about sex but isn't sexy (to me)

Getting lewd with two dudes with food I'm not kink shaming, if an especially messy threesome does it for you then I hope you get your groin's desire

If You're Into It - Flight of the Conchords

Fair Warning - you need a certain sense of humor to enjoy this one.

Oh. My. God.

This is his best jam.

TW : sexual assault

Amos wrote the song about being raped in Los Angeles when she was 21. After she performed at a bar, a patron asked her if he could have a ride home. She obliged, and he raped her at knifepoint.

Me And A Gun - Tori Amos

Went down a little rabbit hole with this one...

Apparently Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert wrote the beginnings of... a song made famous by, and who helped finish the song, the one and only... John Denver. Also, their CBS special had John Letterman as one of the writers and a show regular. Very interesting.

I don't hate the song. It is very cheesy, as were a lot of pop love songs in that era. Were they trying to be the American ABBA? They failed.

AC/DC - Let Me Put My Love Into You

Most AC/DC lyrics have that self-knowing juvenile charm, I guess, but are overgrown school boys really sexy?

I knew about Letterman. The 70s were a wacky time for TV, withy anyone getting a variety show -- The Bay City Rollers after one hit, these guys, Pink Lady (a Japanese duo with a single disco hit, who also didn't speak English).

And while the song is cheesy as hell (and about as unsexy as you get), I still love it.

When I used to download songs or rip them from CDs onto my laptop, I would put songs like this into a new genre I created: “shitrock”
