Default sexual/smutty lyrics?

I saw her standing there - the opening line is pretty raunchy/suggestive

please please me -supposedly sexually explicit.that might be a strech though

hard days night- filled with sexual innuendo. perhaps the title itself is suggestive?

day tripper - a song about sexual frustration

penny lane - i always thought that the line 'finger pie' was innocent enough but then i heard mccartney mention that he included it 'as a bit of smut for the liverpool boys'

lovely rita - all that heavy breathing at the end

'RELAX FOLKS, ITS ONLY SEX'

i've often wondered how in the world they got that "finger pie" line pass the censors!

let's see. . .

*in girl there's the chorus of "tit! tit! tit!" in the background.
*in i've got a feeling there's "everybody had a wet dream"
*in i am the walrus there's "pornographic priestess" and "girl, you've been a naughty boy, you let your knickers down."
*polythene pam. . .'nuff said!
*i think why don't we do it in the road? speaks for itself [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

i spent about 2 years thinking norwegian wood was x-rated until my mother explained that norwegian wood is a type of furniture [img]graemlins/blush5.gif[/img]

my, what dirty little beatles [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Paul hasn't denied the fact that the "what do you see when you turn off the light? / I can tell you but I know it's mine" part could be interpreted as a semi-twisted reference. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

uhhhh...
no one has mentioned this one...

Come Together (hee-hee) [img]graemlins/wink2.gif[/img]

and what about me...
I mean "Lady Madonna lying on the bed ...
listen to the music playing in_____ ______"
Oh yeah tell me that is not sexual.....ha ha!(the background music at this point can only make me think of one thing--which I'm sure is what they were thinking about when they wrote it!)

I always thought the music and the lyrics were very erotic ..... [img]graemlins/drool.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif">I think Please Please Me is VERY sexual. Listen carefully to the lyrics and you will see that interpreting them sexually is not a "stretch" at all. On the contrary, they're very explicit.

There is a Beatles song that is filled with John Lennon using "fuck" over and over. Listen to Shout! on Anthology. There he is, in the background, screaming away "Fuckin' shout now!". How did he get away with that?

she worked fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
well I knew but I could not say"

<font size="2" face="Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif">Whoa! I never even thought about it THAT way until you suggested it in that context. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

But really, you could think of just about any Beatle song as being smutty if you try hard enough.
