songs about masturbation

It's been suggested that this track isn't necessarily simply about masturbation, but about Andy Partridge's penis in general. It's also been said that it's about his then infant son. It's entirely possible he meant it to be interpreted both ways (and this is a man who openly admitted to jerking off into a red rubber shark when on tour). A strange fellow, our Andy.

- When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high
- Any time you rise, I'm here
- If I could only wake you from your slumber curled, pink thing what would straight folks say?
- That man is a sinner / 'Fore they cast me down to die, pink thing, spit in my eye, I'd love you for it

Only time that thing'll spit in his eye is when it's not plugged into a lady.

I've not heard the shark anecdote before. Hmm. I'll never hear Ra Ra for Red Rubber Shark the same way again.

Isn't that 'On The Downlow'?

Britney to thread.

I also don't believe the turning japanes thing - why can't it just be about a guy collecting pictures of his love? turning japanes - becoming like the photo-taking stereotype of japanese people...

Alex OTM, and I think the same could be said about "Turning Japanese" - there are two interpretations (if there was only one, that wouldn't be any fun, would it?)

However, ones I'm not so sure about: Men At Work's "Overkill" and Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light"...

This is the one Darkness song that I genuinely like.

"rocky top"??

Baby
Everything has fallen into place
My life is so exciting now I've got my space
Like a splash of water on my face

Lately
I'm doing what I can do to pleasure me
I'm finding time to focus on my fantasies
I'm satisfied in my own company

I don't need your permission
To take this matter in my own two hands

'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two yeah
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through

Lady
All we seem to do is talk about-
We take apart and analyze our ins and outs
Honey, I would rather do without

No-one to answer to
I won't spend another lifetime begging you

'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two yeah
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through
I'm holding my own

There's a spring in my stride
There's a twinkle in my dying eyes

'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through

Don't even get me started on "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" and "Here I stand, head in hand, turn myself to the wall". What?

"Never the rose/without the prick"

Genius!

Devo - Uncontrollable Urge

is about masturbation, though I can't get it.

Never noticed "Sleeping Late" by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show until now, but it definitely fits:

Sometimes I'm embarrassed by devious thoughts
When I'm undercover let me never get caught
Crazy notions begin with that old devil grin on my face
We're such a disgrace, me and my pillow-case

Sleeping late, sleeping late
Sleeping late, sleeping late

The blissful state of sleeping late has been known to compensate
And sometimes even stimulate
I for one appreciate, sleeping late
Ain't it great sleeping late

April Wine - "Rock Myself to Sleep" from the Fright Night OST.

I had no idea there was a music video.

Battles - "Atlas"

Well, i always assumed Willie and the Hand Jive was about wanking......

Charlotte Hatherley, "Roll Over & Let It Go"

Motorhead - "Vibrator"
come on, people...

no, You come on people!

Incredible String Band, When You Find Out Who You Are

Remember young man of the time
when your love stick
First rose free between your legs
Like a growing tree

... stupid lyric

The Beautiful South, "Tonight I Fancy Myself"

Juice on the Loose -- Rose Tattoo

Ritchie Valens "Ohh My Head"

God Bullies - Artificial Insemination by Aliens:
"I must have killed millions and millions of babies with my bare hands..." :D

I just had a revelation with Webb Pierce's "Walking the Dog":

I'm walking the dog and I'm never blue
I'm walking the dog, I ain't thinkin' 'bout you
I don't need no one to tie me down
I'm walking the dog and I'm paintin' the town
Such an easy life, I never knew until the day that I left you
Well I'm a carefree lad that's seen the light
I'm walking the dog all the day and all night

brilliant euphemism

Silver Bullet - 20 Seconds To Com(ply)

(j/k)

The Flaming Lips - "The Southern Oklahoma Cosmic Trigger Contest" (the best masturbation song ever)

Circle Jerks - "What's Your Problem?"

.38 special - hold on loosely

vh1 told me that too!

P!nk - "U + Ur Hand"

if the Meat Puppets merged with ex members of the Beatles would they be the Meat Beatles?

Finger 11 + Bangles=Fingerbangles

"The Southern Oklahoma Cosmic Trigger Contest" - I'm assuming, then, that "Keep the Cosmic Trigger Happy" by The Super Furry Animals is a reference to this?

"Keep the Cosmic Trigger Happy" came first.

that's what she said
