    Howzabout Jackson Browne's Rosie?

    She was standing at the load-in
    When the trucks rolled up
    She was sniffing all around
    Like a half grown female pup
    She wasn't hard to talk to
    Looked like she had nowhere to go
    So I gave her my pass
    So she could get in and see the show

    Well I sat her down right next to me
    And I got her a beer
    While I mixed that sound on stage
    So the band could hear
    The more I watched her watch them play
    The less I could think of to say
    And when they walked off stage
    The drummer swept that girl away

    But Rosie you're all right - you wear my ring
    When you hold me tight - Rosie that's my thing
    When you turn out the light - I've got to hand it to me
    Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie

    Well I guess I might have known from the start
    She'd come for a star
    Might have told my imagination not to run too far
    Of all the times that I've been burned
    By now you'd think I'd have learned
    That it's who you look like
    Not who you are

    But Rosie you're all right - you wear my ring
    When you hold me tight - Rosie that's my thing
    When you turn out the light - I've got to hand it to me
    Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie

    So..... what are your 3???

    Maybe not about it, but "Captain Jack" mentions it.

    According to the band, that "one song" is not about masturbation after all. I'm not sure I believe it.

    Also, "Darling Nikki" by Prince mentions it.
    And the world will turn to flowing pink vapor stew.

    Always surprising how many big 80s songs were about pleasing oneself. Some pretty big hits too, like some already mentioned, and

    She Bop - Cyndi Lauper
    Blister in the Sun - The Violent Femmes
    Dancin' with Myself - Billy Idol

    and maybe not as big a hit and a little earlier, but always loved Pump It Up by Elvis Costello

    As decades go, the lay/wank ratio didn't seem that great.

    Did the Circle Jerks have any self-love ditties? It is mentioned in 'What's Your Problem...'

    I don't like others.

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.
