Day 18: A song from the 60s

The Beatles - Rain

Think Ringo is a bad drummer? THAT opening snap proves that wrong in a couple of seconds. Also, THOSE guitars, just a perfect song.
This song always goes through my head when people scurry as soon as water falls from the sky...

ETA - didn't see the bonus points bit, but i'm here for the music, not glory
As a drummer... I can only agree ... Ringo was very under-rated... and under-stated

The last time I saw the Grateful Dead (the real band with Jerry) was in '94 at an outdoor venue and it was raining. They played this and to this day I still remember it vividly.

Many bonus points, a song about and reeking of sex.
Kate Bush - Feel It

Kate had a strange image in the UK, she was weird, as a teenage boy, I fancied her, hell, still do, but it was different from Debbie Harry, et all... Kate was out there! She was scary, you knew she was wild, the image portrayed of the silly little girl (most of the early songs were written as she teetered on the edge of adulthood and were full of sexual yearning) and was treated as such in many TV interviews - which she went through with gritted teeth. Tracks like this one were ignored by many, too explicit.
The thing is, this shows the real Kate Bush, she is in control. She may have gone back to his place in the song, but she is in control, she knows "it could be just lust" but "it will be wonderful" she is having sex for sex' sake. Any notion she was just another female singer should be ignored, she did it her way, as she shows in this song. She wants it as much as he does. She is in total control.

Take Me I'm Yours - Jobriath 1973


I'd do anything for you or to you
I'm a fool for you dear fantasy
I would love you to use me, amuse me
I'm chained to your insanity
Any day you could buy me or tie me up
A slave to your perversity


+1 sexy song
+1 mention of something kinky
+1 use of the word sex or a euphemism for it.

Total so far: 6

While the Stones could be deep, and wonderful, they could also be crass, and hilarious.

Well, i asked a young policeman
if he'd only lock me up for the night.
Well, i've had pigs in the farmyard,
some of them, some of them, they're alright.
Well, he fucked me with his truncheon,
and his helmet was way too tight.


Rolling Stones - Schoolboy Blues (also known as Cocksucker Blues)

+1 sexy song, +1 kinky song, +1 for "sex" = 5 total

Full orchestra version. Love this song.

"Masochism Tango (with orchestra ,recorded 1960)," Tom Lehrer

+ 1 for sexy (tango!)
+ 1 for kiss
+ 1 for kinky
+1 for sex


(+4)
Wasn’t this song written and originally released in the 50’s?
 
Day 18: Song from the 60s

+1 sexy for rhythm, length, commentary (and softest hair red like mink’s, which I don’t think referred to her locks)
+1 kink for a girl who wants to be his devil’s child
+1 for multiple euphemisms for sex, my favorite being Camel Ride 🐪

No points for a kiss, though at 14+ minutes in her room, you’d hope he’d get a kiss before the camel ride.
