The double entendre is probably REALLLY old, but its roots in contemporary music is rooted in The Vaudeville's acts of old..
A sweet singer, usually accompanied, singing a sweet ballad.. at a closer look the song Takes on a SERIOUSLY different light..
What sounds fairly innocent is actually a cache for some really, REALLY bawdy lyrics that wouldn Normally NEVER be able to get heard. Some Deviant Sex, Murder, Bank Robbery is usually the subject, but its
Jimmy Morrison is Famous for his use of the double entendre, as is Senor cohen, bowie, Bjork, even! the possibilities are endless..! So what's your favorite? What's the most shocking?!
My favorite is the Toothache Blues, by Victoria Spivey and Lonnie Johnson.. When these two guys get together they're freaking Shameless..
The song is a duet, with the two singers answering each other's calls.. Vic plays a little country girl with a toothache and Lonnie is The 'quick Fillin' dentist'... Great stuff..
The song, at a first glance, would appear to be the usual state of of their poor surroundings.. But when I finally got a hold of the lyrics.. (recorded in 29, its frekaing Impossible to hear Exactly what they're saying)..
In writing it, they sound REALLY disgsting.. Bear with me here..
Vic "-I feel a funny lil' sumthing easing into my cavity."
Lonnie "-That's nothing but cocking and liquor, to ease the pain, you see."
Gross, huh? It never ceases to amaze me how this stuff got such distribution and paraise in its day. they should've been freakin Arrested!
