..and I love you. You know what I mean, that song that makes you uncomfortable if heard in the wrong environment or with the wrong people. There are several songs in my collection that my mother would be ashamed of me for even having. Or liking, for that matter. It is my feeling that sometime an artist is making a truly artistic statement with a "dirty song", while others are only trying to shock us. That being said, here's a few of my favorite dirty songs:"Fabulous Muscles":http://tybees.multiply.com/music/item/29 (mp3) by Xiu Xiu from ??Fabulous Muscles??
Man, this guy Jamie has got some serious issues. Which, of course, is great for his music. In "Fabulous Muscles", he falls for someone who is probably a high school jock, and the jock has apparently kicked his ass a few times. But there's "more going on in the lockerroom":http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858502490 than the jock wants to admit. You feel bad for Jamie, but hey--at least he's gettin' some, right?"Closer":http://tybees.multiply.com/music/item/29 (mp3) by Nine Inch Nails from ??The Downward Spiral??
The obvious choice here. This song ??never, ever, ever?? seems to get old. You know the chorus, don't pretend like you don't. I used to get my CD's taken away from me when I was younger, for fear that satan might enter my soul just by listening to them. ??The Downward Spiral?? was one of those, but I don't think my mother ever really looked at it, or surely it would've been burned."Shores of California":http://tybees.multiply.com/music/item/29 (mp3) by The Dresden Dolls from ??Yes, Virginia...??
(Props to "Swozniak":http://mog.com/SWozniak for turning me on to this band). Ok, so it's not ??that?? dirty, but this song as well as several other tracks from this album qualify for the "dirty song" title, which is why I included it. Basically, the song is saying, to a universal degree, that all women want romance and all men just want sex. Duh. Hence my favorite line from the song, "The girls are crying and the boys are....," well, I'll let you fill in the blank.I'm sure I can be easily outMOGged on this one.
