Sex is a very common topic in our everyday lives. It may not be easily discussed publicly as some other points of conversation like sports or politics, but they are definitely highly prevalent in a lot of people’s thoughts and conversations. This topic is not in any way excluded from music as well. A lot of songs have been written around it, be it as a soundtrack for carrying out the action or as a way of education. The point is music is never shy of sex topics, and it’s perhaps one of the few sceneries where it can be casually mentioned without caution.
As such, having songs with sex titles is nothing spectacular these days and doesn’t in any way create the feeling of any sort of debacle. We are oftentimes introduced to some sexual terms by the music we listen to. Some songs are very well explicitly written and are often aired on the radio frequently. There are also songs that do not in any way possess any word that expresses the act of coition but have been analyzed to have very explicit explanations in their meanings. Some songwriters are even so good at writing songs that directly talk about sex without mentioning the word or anything relating to it in their lyrics. All you do is listen and understand what the singer is talking about.
But there are also a set of songs that don’t meet any of the above-mentioned circumstances. These songs have titles that may indicate sexual activity or something closely related. But the lyrics do not in any way talk about it. They are songs that mean different things entirely from the title and they deserve a special form of attention. That is why we have decided to write about them in this article, to show us that they actually exist, given that a simple google search may not yield the results you’re hoping for. In fact, a search will give results pertaining to the earlier mentioned circumstances. So in no particular order, here are some songs that have a “sex-like” title that is really not about sex or anything like it.
"Naked" is a song by Goo Goo Dolls. The song was the fourth single released from their hit album A Boy Named Goo after they scored a breakthrough hit with the previous single "Name". It was written by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac, recorded in 1994, and released in January 1996. Contrary to what the title might suggest when initially seen, the lyrics of the song seem to depict loneliness, wanting to be noticed, and eventually not caring about that at all. You can listen to the song here if you wish. Below are the lyrics.
Yeah I'm fadin' And I call out No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I'd say a word
Weighed down, Say it now
You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
Yeah I'm hiding in the fallout
Now I'm wasted They don't need me, don't want me, don't hear a word I say
Weighed down, Say it now
You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care
You're naked inside your fear
Can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
"Lips Like Sugar" is a single by Echo & the Bunnymen which was released in August 1987. It was the second single from their 1987 eponymous album. One of the writers, Ian McCulloch initially had no interest in it, describing the songs as too commercial. "Lips Like Sugar" eventually became a chart success in the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand. The song is one of the band’s most famous songs in America, thanks in part to college radio airplay and its music video directed by Anton Corbijn, which was regularly broadcast on MTV's 120 Minutes program. The song has since been covered by multiple artists and has been positively received by critics. It was written by Will Sergeant, Ian McCulloch, and Les Pattinson. The song is about an enticing girl who floats like a swan and has kisses that are sweet like sugar. But she's an elusive bird, meaning when you think she’s yours she leaves. The song and its lyrics:
She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The king of siam
And my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

Smile
You will be my shield
You'll be the only thing
Anyone ever sees
Kill
Crush me, break my will
Cease the endless rats inside the walls
That squeak and scratch away
And keep me awake
This is my vice that i will break
This is my christ in arms today
This is my golden chance
To fight the odds that never seem to change
Ne'er seem to change
Ne'er seem to change
Today
Love
Don't hurt me this time
Be for real
Or kindly let this
Lonely soldier be
Fear
My old friend disappear
Leave me to regard the world
In better ways
Than what is wrong
And what cannot be
Don't say you'll change
Ninja Sex Party (often abbreviated as NSP) is an American musical comedy duo consisting of singer Dan Avidan and keyboardist Brian Wecht. They formed in 2009 in New York City and are currently based in Los Angeles. Their music typically consists of rock or synth-pop-oriented humorous songs, frequently on the topics of sex, seduction, love, or fantasy, which is why one will have every reason to feel their song Heart boner from their 2018 Cool Patrol album is about sex. It is actually about being deeply in love with someone. You just might enjoy the song and here are the lyrics.
When I first looked in your eyes
You were more than just a beauty to me
All my senses shot straight up
I was rock hard emotionally
The fact that you and I could plow
Is something I haven't even thought about
Starting now
I've got a heart boner for you
I stand before you stiff and true
I wanna blast a load of feelings onto you
This heart boner's for you
You've helped me grow into a man
My shallowness is a thing of the past
I want to slam you with my empathy
And then I'll rail you with my class
You've helped me find maturity
I'll be your wiener king, tee-hee
Tee-hee
I've got a heart boner tonight
Feel my love pants growing tight
I wanna plug you with respect all through the night
I'll bust a nut of joy and light
Hea-hea-hea-hea-heart boner
Hea-hea-hea-hea-hea-heart boner
Got a hea-hea-hea-hea-hea-heart boner
H-h-h-h-heart boner)
You are the love that I pursue
Do you feel the feels I feel for you
There's so much we have yet to do
Now jump me like a kangaroo
This heart boner's for you
I stand before you thick and true
I'll shoot a wad of gleaming romance just for you
This heart boner's for you
It's all for you
Every throbbing inch of my heart is just for you
Screw you for judging me
