songs about masturbation

"Ice baby, I saw your girlfriend and she's eatin' her fingers like they're just another meal but she waits there in the levee wash mixing cocktails with her plastic-tipped cigar."

Uhhhh... yeah!

CHORUS:
And solitaire's the only game in town
and every road that takes him takes him down
while life goes on around him everywhere
he's playing solitaire

And keeping to himself he plays the game
without her love, it always ends the same
and by himself it's easy to pretend
he'll never love again
A little hope goes up in smoke
just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man
who would command the hand he's playing

He was actually Doc Cox from That's Life y'know - what ever would Esther have said if she'd found out?

...well, it references masturbation.. heh heh "rhythmically admired.." heh heh

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.

Presidents of The USA- "Peaches"

I took a little nap where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you woman

Rattlesnake Shake by Fleetwood Mac

Courtney Barnett, "Lance Jr."
Victoria Monét, "Ten New Friends"

'And when she asks me, which one I love the best?
I tear open my shirt and I show "Rosie" on my chest'

Size 14: "Claire Danes Poster"
Zebrahead: "Playmate of The Year"

OMG what about the brilliant 'Softcore' by Maurice & the Cliches? "She's got a birthmark that looks just like a staple. She's from New Jersey- she wants to be an actress.."

guys eyes - animal collective

Charli XCX - Body Of My Own
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Va-6_60-gg

Lights out
So high
All alone
I've got a body of my own

Sondre Lerche - "Single-Hand Affairs"

Brilliant premise; - he and his girl meet up for a date, hit it off well, but don't hook up; they leave separately and go to their respective homes, where they both wank whilst thinking about each other...

I just noticed his new album is called Solo Pleasure, but it's not about ~that~.

Animal Collective actually don't have any songs about masturbation, they're just wank.

lol

Lady Gaga - "Dancin' in Circles"

a good subthread or subtopic would be "songs that use dancing as a metaphor for masturbation"

This thread reminds me of myself as a kid, explaining sotto voce, to the counselor who ran the camp radio station, what the song "She Bop" was about (back when this was still relatively fresh information).

Toni Braxton’s “Another Sad Love Song”.

Or it could really be about obsessive radio listening during car drives, like it says on the tin, in which case I’m terribly sorry (as is the insistent drum pattern).

"Captain Jack," of course.

And for flappy bird, "Get Into the Groove":

I'm tired of dancing here all by myself / Tonight I want to dance with someone else.

And Rattlesnake Shake by Motley Crue!

Got the rattle
Snake wants to spit
Call 9-7-6 and let my hand do the rest

Holding My Own - the darkness

Pictures of Lily by the Who, of course
