Ah yes. I was made aware of this a few days ago. The... um....saxophone refrain from Baker Dick was stuck in my head this very morning.
Orinoco Dick has a special place in my dick heart because when I was eighteen and making poor decisions about relationships I dated a particularly smarmy douchetruck whose romancin' music of choice was... Enya. So for him, that's pretty much what that song was about. posted by louche mustachio at 6:08 PM on January 16 [1 favorite]

saxophone refrain from Baker Dick
I lost it. In tears. I am so disappointed in myself. posted by uncleozzy at 6:12 PM on January 16 [3 favorites]
During the first two summers when I was an undergrad I worked at a warehouse, packing boxes and loading trucks. The local classic rock station played constantly and workplace conversation had basically two modes
1. Dick based jokes regarding whatever past hit was playing at the time.
2. Waving a cigarette around while talking about how you were the only one who knew how to do the job properly.
If you're interested in simulating these two formative summers of my life here is what you should do: Load boxes into the back of your car or truck and have this album is playing. Have a friend stand behind you, about a yard away, gesticulating with a cigarette and quizzically shouting "you know what I think about how they do things!?"
So, yes, I found this to be an odd combination of hilarious and nostalgic.
Some of these have the same problem as Shakespoope a few posts back, which is that the dick/poop:original text ratio is a little too high.
On the other hand, I nearly hurt myself with the way I was laughing more and more with each progressive "dick" in the Springsteen lyric "wanna change my dick, my dick, my dick".
Also I feel like this is just the actualization of something that I do all the time on my own, like when I walked around the house singing "what a bright time, it's the right time/ to punch you in the face/ jingle bell time, is a swell time/ to go punching people in the face." posted by capricorn at 6:48 PM on January 16 [2 favorites]
Actually, let me revise my statement. I am most disappointed in myself because this is the sort of thing that I ought to have done in my life, but haven't. I was in a band that sang songs about sodomizing Satan and eating semen frittatas and yet ... never this. posted by uncleozzy at 7:03 PM on January 16 [1 favorite]
I do have to say, I never thought I would see My Dick on the front page of Metafilter. posted by louche mustachio at 7:05 PM on January 16 [2 favorites]

Didn't we just go over this with butt? Because that was hilarious too posted by SomaSoda at 9:40 PM on January 16

The sax bit in Baker Dick is indeed amazing. But what really got me was the downward-sliding guitar chord during the sax solo ("diiiiiiiiiiiick..."). Now that's attention to detail. posted by equalpants at 10:02 PM on January 16 [3 favorites]
YES! The world needs way way way more dick!
This is a trend I'd like to see keep going. posted by QueerAngel28 at 10:23 PM on January 16
I once did one of those "What is your style of humour" quizzes, and it said I liked "clean, dark, sophisticated humour."
This is none of those things. And yet I was giggling when I got to "Fields of Dick" and totally lost it at "Dick in Heaven."
Well played, My Dick. Well played. You have bested me. For now.

I'm back! Was not disappointed! Who knew, butts are funny too.
Let me take this opportunity to ask (again) what happened to Dickipedia? It was great, and now it's gone. Searches for it lead to Huffington Post lameness. posted by Kirth Gerson at 3:18 AM on January 17
I just shared My Dick on Facebook!
Been rocking this album for weeks but was too chicken to post about it on the blue. posted by porn in the woods at 4:51 AM on January 17
After extensive analysis, I've decided that "Dancing in My Dick" is the funniest track on this album. It has that great line that capricorn pointed out upthread ("wanna change my dick, my dick, my dick"), but I especially love that the meaning of the song is largely unchanged. posted by danb at 5:23 PM on January 21
I can't get enough of "More than My Dick." Oddly enough, the song's message doesn't change one bit. posted by porn in the woods at 11:38 AM on February 1

Yeah, "More than Words" was THE power ballad at one point in high school, and I distinctly recall having a moment of clarity (despite the raging hormones addling my brain and clouding my judgment) and thinking, "Hey, wait a minute! This guy's not being romantic--he just wants to get in the girl's pants." posted by hurdy gurdy girl at 12:04 PM on February 1 [2 favorites]
