I am linking up with Pavement Runner today. I LOVE his music posts, mostly because I am always looking for new running songs to add to my playlist, but because of the format of his posts.
Today’s theme is: Innuendo. Not talking about what the song means, just songs that clearly mean something more than what the song is on a surface level.
SOMETHING OLD
Artist: Aerosmith
Title: Walk This Way
Side Note: I like the version with RUN DMC, but I went for the classic for you all today. This song is more than just about a high school dance…but then again what Aerosmith song doesn’t have some sort of innuendo?
Quotable: I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady. Till the boys told me somethin’ I missed. Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor. So I gave her just a little kiss. Like this!
SOMETHING CURRENT
Artist: Flo Rida
Title: Whistle
Side Note: Um, this song is so dirty and yet so catchy.
Quotable:Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby. Let me know. Girl I’m gonna show you how to do it. And we start real slow.
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER
Artist: Brand New
Title: Sic Transit Gloria…Glory Fades
Side Note: I used to listen to Brand New a ton when I was in college, and I still do on occasion. This was one of my favorite songs. I always thought that this song was about preserving your innocence…and I guess in a sense it is.
Quotable: He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.
She’s moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her. Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect.
What do you think these songs are about?
i hate aerosmith but love that song! and I love floridas song! (:
GREAT SONGS. I was waiting to see who was going to use "Whistle" — wait, the song isn't about life guards or sports referees?
I thought it was supposed to be an instruction manual in how to whistle! Haha
Bahahaha that whistle song is so dirty! It's on the radio all the time and everyone's fine with it, yet any song with the word "sex" is bleeped! I don't get it. Same thing with the song Motivation by Kelly Rowland. The first time I heard that song I was like HOW IS THIS APPROPRIATE FOR THE CHILDREN? It's SO dirty. Great post – I love these kind of things!
Seriously! The first time I heard it, I was like this is ridiculous I can't believe it's on top 40 radio.
Great list! I secretly love Flo Rida songs
Whistle is one of my FAVORITE songs right now. It comes up twice on my running playlist. Yes, it is a bit dirty, but you are right, SOOO catchy!!!
