    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.

    I don't need anybody else. When I think about you I touch myself.
    Not to be mixed up with Weird Al's,
    I don't need anybody else, 'cause I'm double jointed, I kiss myself.

    GMichael I knew you would have a tight grip on the subject.

    Sorry that was bad and I won't delete any paybacks you send my way.

    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 http://www.freethought-forum.com/for..._Plankhead.gif

    Sorry, no paybacks yet. You still have extra points in the bank.

    Ever catch yourself with the other hand? It's kinda like cheating on yourself, with yourself. And don't just drag yourself in there and do it. Make a night of it, bring yourself flowers, take yourself out to dinner. And a thank you card the next day never hurts (no punn intended I'm sure).

    Thank you George Carlin.

    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...'

    "Pink Thing" by XTC.

    Though this song is more about the "object" and not the "verb"

    Aren't Frankie goes to Hollywood 'Relax' and Devo's 'whip it' about that? Or am I sick and twisted. Don't answer that.

    I always thought that song was about Andy Partidge's baby. Can an XTC expert weigh in?

    And I always thought "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was inspired by a drawing Julian did about his friend Lucy. Imagine my shock when it was pointed out to me that there may have been an illicit drug reference hidden in there http://forums.audioreview.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

    John Lennon absolutely denied that song had LSD reference. I think he said it was about a drawing his son made. It had a lady up in a sky and said her name was Lucy. So John wrote a song about it while Yoko............. well she was Yoko.

    Well, not to get too picky, but I don't think Yoko came along until a bit later. The whole point is that sure, songs can be inspired by anything and it's a nice backstory with the drawing and the girl with diamonds and all, but John Lennon was a very bright guy and so I'm sure he intentionally wove those images from his son, and from Alice In Wonderland, and from his own strange trips, in a way that would leave it open to interpretation. I mean, even Paul thinks it's about LSD :)

    Same with Pink Thing. Who'd seriously call their newborn "pink thing" unless they were just trying to be cute and coy? Have you read the lyrics?

    <i>I want to take you out and show you to the girls

    When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high

    Don't you think it's time you met some female pink thing?

    So why is it I'm happy when there's tears down in your eye?</i>

    Sure, Pink Thing is clearly a double meaning, purely intentional. XTC did that a lot, "My Bird can Sing", "Knuckle Down" etc.

    Pink Thing always reminded me of that 50s Ames Brothers gem "The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane" cuz it had the same sorta tone.

    I don't think they're about masturbating so much as just plain about having sex. Maybe kinky sex, but not solo sex.

    Which one? The Vapors one? Yeah, it is, I don't care if they deny it.

    Here's Andy Partridge:

    "Harry was called Pink Thing when he was born but I love my d!ck and I'm not afraid to tell people. So it's about both."

    Any questions?

    Re: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

    Julian brought home a picture he drew in school. John saw it and the conversation went something like this:

    Who's that?

    My friend, Lucy.

    What are those?

    Diamonds.

    Lennon titled it like the old masters, "Vase in the Sun with Fruit" or whatever. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, no acronym intended. I never heard McCartney say it stood for LSD, just the opposite. He tells the same story as Lennon. It's dumb to think they would lie about this song for years when, just a few months after Sgt. Pepper's, McCartney admitted to the press he had taken LSD. Also, Paul has no problem stating "Got To Get You Into My Life" was about marijuana.

    Here's Lucy. Notice the similarity to the cover for Walls And Bridges, another of Julian's school drawings.

    Have you heard the song lately? Maybe they took so much drugs, that they forgot they put in a subliminal reference to it.

    Maybe the first sympton of having been abducted by a UFO is that you deny it.

    "A song like 'Got to Get You Into My Life,' that's directly about pot, although everyone missed it at the time," McCartney said.

    "'Day Tripper,' that's one about acid (LSD). 'Lucy in the Sky,' that's pretty obvious. There's others that make subtle hints about drugs, but, you know, it's easy to overestimate the influence of drugs on the Beatles' music."

    Ah, here's the confusion. I read too much into that. What Lennon denied was the title was an acronym for LSD but It's an acid song, just like Yellow Submarine. Most acid songs didn't have direct references to the drug itself.

    Let's see, today on RR we've covered acid, masturbation and classical music. That's a helluva combination...I guess.

    For the record, I have never been abducted by a UFO.

    But I think it's a very probing issue.

    Kind of like that Frankie Goes To Hollywood song our old buddy richmon mentioned up above. Relax. Yeah, I doubt he was singing about a UFO experience, but I do think there was some probing on his mind. Not that there's anything wrong with that ...

    Who does that song that goes "I touch myself"? If's a female singer but I dont' think it was the Bengals. "I don't want anyone else, when I think of you, I touch myself"

    How about that song Sledge Hammer? Talking about tough love.

    Isn't there is a goofy track at the end of Green Day's Dookie called "All by myself."

    "Whip It" is definately about masterbation, "Relax" not so much.

    But, best jerk off title goes to: "Miss Michigan" by Michigan's own Mustard Plug.

    hey, hey hey..... you're not taking off for spelling are you? Is it Bangles? I thought it was spelled like the Tiger but Bangles is more fitting.
