S&M Fetish Songs

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

I was listening to The Cramps "Queen of Pain" in the car today, thinking of a very special lady friend, when I got to wondering, "What other songs out there are about fetish play?". I'm mainly thinking S&M/B&D-style tunes, as opposed to ones about tickling or feet or whatever. Anybody got any suggestions? There may even be relatively mainstream tunes that haven't occurred to me.

Now, granted, I haven't peeked around online or anything, but I'm mainly curious what songs other members might come up with that fit the rarified range I'm thinking of?

Right now, about all I can immediately think of is Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog"(and even that's a kinda/maybe), the Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs", Thin Lizzy's "S&M", and...that's about it.

Any help with artists and titles in this search is appreciated.

Tom Lehrer - The Masochism Tango (kind of a savage goof)

Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot (iffy, but I understand it was popular in S&M clubs)

 

[Violetta]

Who can forget Guns N' Roses' "Pretty Tied Up?" I freaking love that song!

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

Beautiful When You're Mad by Out Of Your Mouth has a reference I don't know if that's what the whole song is about.

A Touch of Evil by Judas Priest seems to fit the bill, for me at least. Remembering that the lead singer, who had a fetish for leather, brought bondage gear into the standard wardrobe for heavy metal, it's easy to make the connections in a lot of their songs.

You should check out W.A.S.P. too (We Are Sexual Perverts). Their outfits ought to get your attention (although I can't promise you'll like what you see depending on the camera angle).

Oh and of course there's Helena by The Misfits, but even I'm a little disturbed by the content in that one.

"Cutting with the knife, blood is spilling everywhere
She will be my wife, secondary spine
Incisions must be accurate, I know just what to do
My hand is trembling, I can't spare to slip up with this
KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE"

Apparently there are people with a fetish for amputees and possibly amputation. I may of course be taking the lyrics too literally. What an interesting world we live in.

Then, too, there's "It's Coming Down", a solo effort by Glen Danzig where the video was filmed in an actual S&M club.

Priest's "Love Bites" and others are also contenders, although none of these really flat out speaks to me the way a song like Thin Lizzy's "S&M" does.

I dunno. I listened straight through, but didn't pick up on any specific reference. Did I miss something?

Tom Lehrer - The Masochism Tango (kind of a savage goof)

Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot (iffy, but I understand it was popular in S&M clubs)

Heh, I've heard that Lehrer song during an interview with him on the Dr. Demento Show! Good call, kopfhorer.

The Benatar song is alittle too sketchy for what I'm looking for. Sorta in the same league as Britney Spears' "Baby, Hit Me One More Time", or Devo's "Whip It". i.e. - Songs that may have been appropriated by S&M enthusiasts, but which aren't necessarily ABOUT fetish practices.

Apparently, I can! I had actually never heard that one. Definitely fits the bill. Gracias, BD!

That Misfits song is actually based on the movie "Boxing Helena." Look it up! 😀

I've found some subtle allusions to S&M in the following songs:

Fiona Apple -"The First Taste"

I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught
But Daddy Longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary
Of waiting to be consumed by you
Give me the first taste
Let it begin, heaven cannot wait forever
Darling just start the chase
I'll let you win, but you must make the endeavor


Misfits - "Scream"

A chill runs up your spine
It crawls into your brain
The freezing touch of fear
It's driving me insane
Although you try to fight
Dragged from the silence where you hide
'til you... Scream
'til you... Scream
Scream
I can't wait to hear you...
Scream

Joana Newsom - "The Book of Right On"

I killed my dinner with karate -
kick 'em in the face, taste the body;
shallow work is the work that I do.
Do you want to sit at my table?
My fighting fame is fabled
and fortune finds me fit and able.
And even when you touch my face
you know your place.

She Wants Revenge - "Tear You Apart"

Either way he wanted her and this was bad
Wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy
Now a little crush turned into a like
And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her
I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna fucking tear you apart

And of course, Eurythmics - "Sweet Dreams" as well as quite a few NIN songs.

After a quick google search, I also came up with these:

The Rolling Stones - "Under My Thumb"

Depeche Mode - "Master and Servant"

John Mellencamp - "Hurt So Good"

Alice Cooper - "Trash"

Leonard Cohen - "I'm Your Man"

Siouxie & The Banshees - "Melt!"

Divinyls - "Pleasure & Pain"

The Plasmatics - "Mistress of Passion"

2 Live Crew - "S&M"

Nashville Pussy - "Beat Me Senseless"

Van Halen - "Spanked"

The Damned - "Torture Me"

I'll get the lyrics for you.Maybe I've interpreted it wrong.

Out Of Your Mouth -
Beautiful When Your Mad At Me
Who said masochist, nothing with a closed fist, just a little damage with a tongue.
Kinky little dark side, play a little hard to like, just try to have a little fun.
Sticking it in sticking it out mutha f****, are ya shitting in your own back yard?
Why do I like it so hard?
You’re beautiful when you’re mad at me
I piss you off so I can see
The crazy way you yell and scream
You’re beautiful when you mad at me… at me
Who said masochist?
Nothing with a closed fist
Just a little damage with the tongue
Kinky little dark side
Play a little hard to like
Just try to have a little fun
Stickin' it in stickin' it out Mother F*****
Are you shittin' in your own back yard?
Why do I like it so hard?
What you want don’t come from me
What I expect is not reality
‘Cause I’m sick and honest
You may be hot
But you’re jumping up and down with a bitter little frown
And I’m gonna turn you inside out
You’re beautiful when you’re mad at me
I piss you off so I can see
The crazy way you yell and scream
You’re beautiful when you mad at me…
(At me)
You’re beautiful when you’re mad
You’re beautiful when you’re mad at me
You’re beautiful when you’re mad
You’re beautiful when you’re mad at me
You’re beautiful when you’re mad at me
I piss you off so I can see
The crazy way you yell and scream
You’re beautiful when you mad at me…
(At me)
You’re beautiful when you mad at me… at me
You’re beautiful when you mad at me… at me

 

[firewindwater1]

bob marley's 'looking in your big brown eyes' is quite suspect:

Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat till you cant sweat no more
And if you cry
Im gonna push it push it some mo-ore

That could merely be a song about fucking, one of the zillions recorded since Thomas Edison first spoke the words "Mary had a little lamb" onto a tinfoil cylinder (the pervert!).

A long...long...time ago...

In a cage...

in a dominatrix's dungeon...

A slave...

Mmmphed through her gag.....

LOL. (God I love bye bye miss American pie) ^_~

It's so sad to me how terribly jaded the stuff kids listen to today seems to be. Understandable, given the genral state of the world, but saddening all the same. Especially when cynical tunes like this get labeled as "emo". Judging from what I see/read/hear, I don't wanna have anything to do with Generation Y. I'm sure the feeling's mutual, and that's fine, too.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I read it. One of the things that doesn't come up much about the so-called peaceful Rastafarians is their second-class-citizen treatment of women. I'm talking about genuine Jamaican Rastas as opposed to the white-bread wannabees, here.

I like some of it,I really haven't found any songs from 2009 or from this year I liked though.

I'm on holidays! How dare you make me learn something!

Ha. It's a horror movie, completely devoid of anything thought-provoking.

Wasn't Madonna originally slated to play the lead in that?

 

[Inteenchans1]

Cradle of Filth...

...almost certainly have made a few songs with refrences to S/M. If you check out the videos to "Nymphetmaine" and "Babylon AD" I'd say they are S/M inspired....however, Im not sure about the lyrics...

 

[chicag0]

Wasn't Madonna originally slated to play the lead in that?

Yeah, Madonna and Kim Bassinger I guess both were lined up as the lead at one point.

What about Head LIke a Hole...
