Immortalia: a website 'dedicated to traditional bawdy songs, erotic toasts and other recitations.' See, for example, the list of bawdy songbooks, variously in text and PDF formats, beginning with songs from a 1661 book of 'Merry Drollery.' Many songs are displayed alongside the appropriate sheet music, for example I Used To Work In Chicago and The Sexual Life of the Camel. There are numerous mp3s too, both samples and entire songs, many of which are field recordings by the site's proprietor, John Mehlberg. Please note that the songs range from plain stupid to extremely offensive, that many pages have embedded audio, and that the site is confusingly-organised and may crash your browser. The site as a whole is NSFW.

I have no good reason for mentioning this here, but Wicked Weasel is an online store where you can buy, and shop for, yes, shop, spend many hours shopping, for all sorts of great bikinis. Depending on where you work, and what you do, it's probably not work safe. If you're like me, it could probably keep you from getting any work done, and keep you up late at night. I didn't think I had any interest in bikinis whatsoever before finding this site. Who knew.

Took me back to my Rugby days... Unfortunately, he doesn't have "The Shameless Hussy Song", which we used to sing at demonstrations at my alma mater in the mid-80's. I can't remember all the words, and it's been driving me nuts for years. Starts out, "We're shameless hussies and we don't give a damn..." Would love to see the lyric for your offensive rugby song, Smedleyman.

QIbHom - no...no, you wouldn't. Almost got me set on fire, excommunicated etc. etc. I wrote it purposely to be offensive. ...it's not bad though. If you e-mail me I'll send you some.
