If you don't watch My Puss then You Suck. But what I want to know is, if you're gonna Eat to the Beat, How Many Licks until you go blind? Maybe we can find out Downtown. Sure, this post is full of video, audio, pop-ups, and is probably NSFW, but you know you want to join in with your favorite songs in praise of the empowered punani! Come on and Put a Little Sugar in My Bowl!

Cunnilingus?

"Your puss invaded Iraq?"

that's pretty awesome.

Oh, and while I don't have a favorite song in praise of cunnilingus, I DO have a favorite song about penile impotence.

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute more
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown ...

Yay! You Suck was my favourite rude song for years after the novelty of 2 Live Crew wore off. "You can suck my cunt while I'm on the rag", indeed.

But it turned me on to Consolidated, who rock. And what about Cyndi Lauper's She Bop?

Isn't Margaret Cho semi-famous by now? Doesn't she have access to B-grade writers and video editors capable of actually putting something kind of funny together?

Apparently not.

And wah, no Liz Phair?

Petula Clark rocks. Even her name is vaguely labial. Margaret Cho, however, is painfully unfunny.

These are opinions, and many probably disagree with them. That is the nature of opinions.

I hate to say it but once I saw the Margeret Cho link, I passed. The woman makes Mama's Family look funny (and that show makes me break out in hives).

A song about the absence of the empowered punani.
posted by greycap at 11:34 PM on December 7, 2006

Ahem. 2 Live Crew was *not* a novelty. I mean, something has to be said for those who genuinely just want some pussy. They were the first ones to really speak for that population; and if you ask me, they're heroes.

bardic--they apparently do J. Geils' 'First I Look at the Purse.' If so, a damn good reversal.

Ahh, Petula Clark. I can never think of her singing "Downtown" again after someone told me a variation of the Sean Connery story.

Then there's Deep Purple where the lead sings:
So we put her on a hitlist
of a modern cunning linguist
a master of many tongues
Knockin at your back door.

Thanks, once again the savage beast is quite soothed.

Well, I always thought there was a certain amount of instructional ambiguity to the brilliantly catchy "If you don't want to f*** me baby, well baby f*** off" by Wayne County & the Electric Chairs.

(But I mainly just enjoyed annoying the snot out of my dad by playing it loudly in my bedroom - even before I found out about the Wayne/Jayne thing!)

If they got Fergie to sing it, at least I could turn the sound off and watch the video.
posted by LordSludge at 6:11 AM on December 8, 2006

What's that new Fergie song about anyways? She's going to go down on him? Her panties are coming down? She's wearing a chastity belt?

Flummoxed again by popular culture. Drat.

You mean the Contours. I love the Geils boys, but give credit where credit is due.

Thanks for the link to the Sean-o story. I hadn't heard it. It will enliven many a groaning board this Yuletide, of that you may be sure.

You know, I think these songs are about sex. Dirty sex. I'm outraged. Back in the 60's we never had filthy songs like this.

Remember the Led Zeppelin? They had something of a big hit with a song about the benefits of Vitamin C.

But this? Filth. Dirty, filthy filth.

Well, if you really wanted to be geeky and pedantic, we'd go back to Ovid and Sappho of Lesbos.

What about that song that went "my neck, my back, lick my pussy and my crack (back?)?"

There's a screwed and chopped mix of that song, where Khia sounds like a bloke. Makes for intriguing listening.

Good catch jonmc, it always sounded too 'late 50s-early 60s' for them to have written it, and they're a good subject for chat.

Since that discussion's now on reggae, I'll just say they were the rare band who could do covers well: 'House Party,' 'Homework,' 'Lookin for a Love'...

Joining us for late afternoon tea in a 4-way
Is my old next-door neighbor Jimbo and his wife,
Who is a chicken.

Since I'm the only woman there with hands,
I soon find myself fully occupied.
I can't help but wonder how Jimbo and his wife had their baby,
Who had been sleeping next to us, but had since fallen onto the floor.
She must be able to change forms, back and forth.
And what about chicken pussy?
Is it enticing?
I mean what's the story?

If you're going to bring up Zep, the appropriate one is Custard Pie.

Lots of blues and jump blues songs reference the poontang.

Then there's Bongwater's "The Power of Pussy" ... (although their lawyers seem to have made sure everybody takes down their lyrics, no linky).
