    "You could have a steam train
    If you'd just lay down your tracks..."

    Peter Gabriel- Sledgehammer. I had no idea what this meant until someone explained it to me :D

    "We don't need no education..." Pink. Floyd- Another Brick in the Wall. We need education just not the one their giving us.

    Steven Tyler wrote a lot of lyrics with double entendres, and during live concerts he improvises even more naughty stuff.
    For example, during "Love In An Elevator" he replaces "living it up when I'm going down" with "licking the pink but I'm tasting brown".

    Other examples:
    "Dream On": "Dream until your balls turn blue"
    "Sweet Emotion": "I got the garage but I'm parkin' in the rear"
    And of course.. "I Don't Want To Kiss Her Thing"

    Well, I suppose those aren't so much double entendres or metaphors, and as just straight forward sexism...

    My fave, from the same album:

    "Don't put your heart out on your sleeve
    when your remarks are off the cuff"


    I suppose Smoky Robinson would be considered the rock era's greatest punster, but EC isn't far behind

    Wynn Steward - "Another Day, Another Dollar"



    "The boss told me I'd get paid weekly / And that's exactly how I'm paid"

    The pun doesn't work well in writing, but hey.

    Joni Mitchell - Raised on Robbery

    Second verse:

    I'm a pretty good cook, sitting on my groceries
    Come up to my kitchen, I'll show you my best recipe
    I try and I try but I can't save a cent
    I'm up after midnight cooking, trying to make my rent
    I'm rough but I'm pleasing, I was raised on robbery

    Always got a kick out of Ray Davies ad-libbing "Ray, I came dancing last night" when performing "Come Dancing."

    "Come on Eileen"

    I have a sister named Eileen. The song was popular when she was in college. Needless to say, she hates it.

    And that is when I saw her
    As I pulled in outside of a small motel she was there
    And so I walked up to her
    Asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where

    From "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa" by Gene Pitney (written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David), 1963

    Prince was the master of double-entendre, but I always thought "Little Red Corvette" was the best of the bunch - especially because it became such a surprise hit single in 1982. I was 10 years old when that song came out, and I remember how bowled over I was when I realized what "'Cause you had a pocket full of horses/ Trojan and some of them used" meant. :eek:

    Still can't believe he got away with that 35 years ago.

    Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can top Prince on the song Sister:

    I was only 15 but I guess that's no excuse
    my sister was 32 lovely and ...loose.


    it goes downhill from there:)
