Nine Inch Nails - Closer

Hoobastank - Inside of You

Blood Hound Gang - The Bad Touch

Blood Hound Gang - The Ballad of Chasey Lain

Jimmi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic

...off the top of my head

Fun Fact: Jimi Hendrix - Fire is, contrary to popular belief, not about this topic. The lyrics are quite literal in nature, telling the story about how he was visiting his band mate's mothers house on new years eve and he was cold as fuck. The "Move over, rover, let Jimi take over"-line is because there was a German Sheperd in front if the fireplace.

Jimmi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic

Re-reading the lyrics, yeah, some of those are innuendo. But not remembering them right away, it felt like "like when i wrote "devil's haircut" i was feeling really... what's that song about?"

Come Together is clearly about John's bukkake fetish.

I think we can safely say most songs are love songs.

Whole Lotta Love by Led Zep

Somehow I don't think Trent Reznor wrote "Closer" in an attempt to get laid lol.

Might have been very horny but also very self aware.

Crosstown Traffic is such a banger

The country station where I'm at has been playing like 3 cuck songs on repeat for the last few weeks. Do those count?
