It’s Not About Love…
…it’s about sex. And while sundry legislators past and present — and their spouses — might disagree, songs that drop all romantic pretense have provided a rich range of reflection upon the joys, pains, and absurdities of the human condition. Here are a few examples:
- 1933: Lucille Bogan — Shave ‘Em Dry
- 1952: Billie Holiday — Love for Sale
- 1967: The Who — Pictures of Lily
- 1967: The Velvet Underground — Venus in Furs
- 1972: John Rubinstein — With You
- 1974: Genesis — Counting Out Time
- 1981: Kim Carnes — Bette Davis Eyes
- 1983: Cyndi Lauper — She Bop
- 1997: Marcy Playground — Sex and Candy
- 2003: OutKast — Hey Ya!
