Pornographic code words in pop music. Let's get a grip here.
Baby you can drive my car. (Beatles)
Aaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww, Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am. (Bowie)
Bee Bop A Lu Bop A Wham Bam Boom (Little Richard)

1. You seem to be confusing
"Be Bop A Lu La" with "A Womp Bop A Lu Bomp A Womp Bam Boom."

4. On the surface it may seem so but....
...once translated into pornographic code it means the same thing.

3. Heres a few
they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' "with the danger zone"
~~She Bop -Cyndi Lauper



Bite my lip and close my eyes
I was slipping away to paradise
Some say,"Quit or I'll go BLIND."
But it's just a myth
~~Longview- Green Day


Tonight I should have stayed at home - playing with my pleasure zone'
~~The Perfect Kiss- New Order


Dancing with myself
~~Billy Idol

I want to play with my ding a ling
~~Chuck Berry

7. It was nice when music used only code words.
They don't bother coding the pornographic language anymore. There's no double meaning to a lot of Britney Spears and Missy Eliot songs, for example. They just say it straight out!

I think it takes a little talent to make a string of good sexual puns and code words. Bon Scott was a musical genius in that regard. A lot of AC/DC songs are just hilarious that way.

13. Whoa......
I got bored with Tool (no, I don't mean that euphemistically either!) a few years ago so I hadn't given that line much thought. I mean I got all the "knuckle deep within the borderline" stuff, but damn dude.........:wow:

11. I think the walrus was Paul.
He came up with things like "fish and finger pie" in Penny Lane, and sang "tit-tit-tit-tit-tit-tit-tit" in the background of John's Girl.
