Regular visitors to JOKONKY know that each volume of LOOSE is chock-full of songs about what itches, & how people choose to scratch it. But this one includes my nomination for the dirtiest song of the 70’s: Simon & Garfunkel’s Cecila. “Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia, up in my bead room. I got up to wash my face… when I come back to bed, someone’s taking my place.” Wash your face, indeed, Mr. Simon. As the old joke goes, Paul is a "cunning linguist."
Britain’s bawdy balladeers include Ian Hunter, Alex Harvey, Giggles, & Babe Ruth. There are a couple tracks by R&B cats: Amos Milburn & Al Copley, a couple by power poppers: Alex Chilton, Morningwood. There are a couple by new wavers Devo & Nervous Eaters (who “want a little more, from the girl, the girl next door”).
Dancing and loose behavior are tightly linked--and represented here by Chic & Sin With Sebastian. Describing the funnier side of sleazy behavior falls to Tom Lehrer & Jim Stafford.
Even though heavyweights like Todd Rundgren, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils & The Pandoras weigh in, the best track by far is PHIL LEE’s You Should Have Known Me Then, in the course of which, Phil recounts how: “every night I’d go to bed, my head between two boobs.” Big deal. So did Larry Fine.
Nevertheless, you can check Phil Lee out here: https://philleeone.bandcamp.com/album/you-should-have-known-me-then and you can find the link to your JOKONKY Christmas present in the comment section! Ho-Ho-Ho!

I forgot to pose a question, so here it is: "What song gets YOUR vote as the dirtiest song of the 70's?" You're welcome to post what you want--but I'm thinking of songs that could actually get played on the radio (like CECELIA) but managed to be filthy nonetheless!

ReplyDeleteSongs that get played on the radio? What radio? the PMRC radio? Independent radio? John Peel?
Here is a movie about Loose Morals. it is called Look Away and is about those cutie cutie Steve Taylor (Paedo) and Kim Fowley (Rapist)

Larry Fine going to bed with two boobs.....I love it
ReplyDeleteThere has been a lot of reggae dirty music. For me Hacka Tacka Music by Baba and Roody has always been a filthy dirty guilty pleasure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments and contributions, youse guys. And Anonymous, songs that could get played on 1970's radio, of course!
