Help settle a conundrum I have plz. Here are the lyrics:

Down boy

Keep you down boy

I'm the one that you would die for

The one you long to touch

The one you live our life for

I know it's much

The more you see, the more you want

The more you taste, it just gets better

The more you get, the more you like it

Don't go too far, I won't let you

Down boy

Won't you bring me down boy

Gotta keep you down

If you want me with you

Down boy

Won't you bring me down boy

Gotta keep you down

Some things I just won't do

Do anything to please me

I got you where I want

I know how much you need me

Just wanna get it up

The more you see, the more you want

The more you taste, it just gets better

The more you get, the more you like it

Don't go too far, I won't let you

Down boy

Won't you bring me down boy

Gotta keep you down

If you want me with you

Down boy

Won't you bring me down boy

Gotta keep you down

Some things I just won't do

Gotta keep you down

Gotta keep you down

Gotta keep you down

Some things I just won't do

Some things I just won't do

Some things I just won't do

Some things I just won't do

The more you see, the more you want

The more you taste, it just gets better

The more you get, the more you like it

Don't go too far, I won't let you

Down boy

Won't you bring me down boy

Gotta keep you down

If you want me with you

Down boy

Won't you bring me down boy

Gotta keep you down

Some things I just won't do

argh the formatting was good before...

No! Anal sex so say i!

She said in an interview on MTV that it was about the sort of situation where a boy and a girl are together and they both want to have some fun but that the girl doesn't want to actually have sex. I think the "down boy" bits are telling the penis to stop being so eager rather than telling the boy to go down on her. A lot of it does imply that oral sex is happening though, especially lines like

The more you taste, it just gets better
and
Do anything to please me
I got you where I want

pop is abt sex shockah!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 20 October 2002 10:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah - the reading toraneko says H.Valance gave on MTV seems the obvious one. 'Down boy', like to an overeager dog. Hence the 'some things I just won't do' line (which, as Fergus says, is prob. specifically about anal).

its abt good ol' junky art fag sex. hmmm....

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 20 October 2002 10:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I think Dive Dive Dive by Bruce Dickinson is probably about oral sex.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 20 October 2002 10:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah. "Trans Europa Express", too.

― Daniel_Rf, Sunday, 20 October 2002 12:21 (twenty-three years ago)

"Please please me, like I please you"

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 20 October 2002 12:26 (twenty-three years ago)

What about the Warrant song "Down Boys"?

― Andy K (Andy K), Sunday, 20 October 2002 13:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Down Down by Status Quo DEAR GOD I HOPE NOT.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 20 October 2002 13:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you sure you don't mean Emily Dickinson, Jel?

Song most unmistakeably about oral sex: Lollipop Mama by Wynonie Harris. Apparently all she wants to do is suck Wynonie's lollipop. The flip side would be Lolita Storm's You Make Me High (When You Go Down Low). I suspect that NWA are hinting at this subject on Just Don't Bite It, too. She Swallowed It, also. And Gimme Gimme Teenage Head by Primal Scream and Head (among others) by Prince and Blow Job by Shizuo.

Anal sex? Buttfuck by Nuclear Assault leaps to mind.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 20 October 2002 14:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Surely 'Les Sucettes' is the most unmistakeable?

Apart from 'You Suck' by the Yeastie Girls, of course.

Pearl Necklace - ZZTop
Eat Me Alive - Judas Priest
BallCrusher - WASP
Cherry Pie - Warrant
Down Boys - Warrant
Lick It Up - KISS
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver - Primus

Now I have this image of CJ banging her head at a Guns'n'Roses show wearing extremely tight clothes. This is not in and of itself a problem.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 20 October 2002 15:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Down boy ;)

― C J (C J), Sunday, 20 October 2002 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

No, that winky emoticon is a Ned characteristic - as Mark has just pointed out on THIS GIANT BIRD WILL DEVOUR US ALL, the character differences for the multiple aliases for the hivemind are blurring!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 20 October 2002 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Stop talking to yourself there, Martin.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 20 October 2002 16:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Mmm, "Slow" by MBV - laydeez, this is the key to unlocking my pants. Zzzip.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 21 October 2002 15:37 (twenty-three years ago)

And where does Momus' "Coming in a Girl's Mouth" fit in this discussion?

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 21 October 2002 16:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyone ever heard "You Suck" by the Yeasty Girls? No? Thought not. It's *definitely* about oral, though. And quite disgusting to boot. Hurrah.

― lol p xx, Monday, 21 October 2002 16:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I mentioned it upthread, lol. I think it's a favourite of Tom's. I seem to remember it being v.rub but I wouldn't mind hearing it again.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 21 October 2002 16:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Its inherent rubism is what makes it grebt.
