Sexy/Naughty Music

#1 Post by Moonmist » Fri Oct 20, 2006 10:34 am

I have been asked by a friend to DJ for her friend's lingere' shower. So, I thought it'd be cool to have some Naughty songs, doesn't matter if it's the title or lyrics. I was going to do a slide show later w/ the songs & the pictures from the party.

Other than songs from Risque Rhythm, any other suggestions?

Many thanks!

Quite a bit of the early Rhythm and Blues has suggestive lyrics.

There are quite a few on the King R&B box set that could be considered suggestive given the vernacular of the day. I think a few are also on Risque Rhythm. The ones I can think of off the top of my head: Big Ten Inch, Grandpaw Can Boogie Too, Sixty Minute Man, I Want A Bow Legged Woman, It Ain't The Meat, All She Wants To Do Is Rock, Gangster Of Love, Dr. Lover.

There is a CD that has many naughty blues and jazz songs called Copulation Blues. I actually play, New Rubbin' on that darn old thing by Oscar's Chicago Swingers occasionally at Lindy hop events, it's an uptempo classic jazz song few people notice how dirty the lyrics are, but if they listened they would realize it's a very naughty song.

Try "My Military Man". I think it is by Gladys Bentley (sp?) from the late 20s or early 30's. Lots of suggestive lyrics. One line has him sneaking up and attacking her in the rear.

I just got Julia Lee's CD "A Proper Introduction to Julia Lee: That's What I Like" from Amazon almost all "blue".

Plus Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" is always a crowd pleaser.

The Spinach Song aka I Didn't Like it the First Time.

Mora plays it, but it dates from 1947 and I forget the original artist.

Dean Mora always remarks that Benny Carter wrote the tune under a pseudonym. IIRC, he always says "1947", but ....whatever.....

Does the CD list the composers and does one composer name sound bogus?

I forget now if Mora has even recorded the tune.

I thought of another one-

I have this on a Victor 78 from circa 1934

Peggy Johnson and her orchestra doing "Frankie and Johnny" and it is surprisingly risque. She kind of talks/sings her way through the song with references to her being a virgin, how F&J both 'got wet", how she shot him in the fly, etc.

Incredibly lumpy arrangement, but good for laughs.

If this is out on CD.....cool, b/c it is really obscure.

Found this while searching for info on the "Spinach&quo

In 1938, one year after US pot prohibition, the famous jazz band Julia Lee and her Boyfriends recorded The Spinach Song, which was regularly performed in clubs thick with cannabis smoke. The Spinach Song contains lyrics that likely fed Anslinger's suspicions. Especially the chorus "I didn't like it the first time, but oh how it grew on me," and lines like "now somehow I can't get enough." That same year, Elzie Segar, Popeye's creator, suddenly died.

By the time The Spinach Song was released, "spinach" was already a jazz-industry code-word for "cannabis." So it seems likely that Segar intended his readers to know that Popeye the Sailor Man gained his super-human strength from tooting back more than just a mere garden vegetable.

I found one web-site that lists Johnny Gomez & Bill Gordon as composers.

DeanMora released it on "20th Century Closet".

Is that a quote up there? It says she recorded it in 1938. Dean Mora says it was not written until 1947.

Who is "Anslinger"?

I never heard the word "spinach" in use as a term for weed.

Sounds like more www web site b/s writing. :lol:

I think it is "Johnny Gomez" being used by Benny Carter as a nom de plume.

It is a quote from this web-site so take it for what it's worth.

Anslinger is: Harry J Anslinger – director of the US Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1931 to 1962 (Also according to the same web-site.)
