tickling in song?

[phatteus]

I can think of two "popular" songs in which Tickling is mentioned:

"I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" by EVERYONE. I can tell you, I still get all gooey inside every time I hear Ronnie Specter sing "Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus / Underneath his beard so snowy white..." She sings it so sultrily and sexily, that you almost feel as though she wishes she was getting tickled! Hmm...

The other one is a little more obscure. Gerry and the Pacemakers' "I Like It."

"I like it, I like it.
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair.
And I like the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let me come in
When your Mama 'aint there."

Strange that there are so few others! And strange that these both refer to chin tickling! Can anyone recall any other tunes which mention tickling?

Muskrat Love

Captain & Tenielle(sp?) did a goofy song called Muskrat Love that had a small bit about whisker-tickling.

Re: Tickle songs

Jermaine Jackson and Devo, "Let Me Tickle Your Fancy"

Brian Wilson's song, "I Want To Pick You Up," includes the line, "I wanna tickle your feet." (You should know that the song is about Brian's then-baby daughter - which daughter I don't know)😉

 

[paszkowt]

Shaggy in one of his earlier songs, I think in "Carolina", has one phrase "Don't tickle my foot, baby! Heeheee!" I think there is corresponding scene in the clip of the song, when he's brefly foot-tickled by one of the chicks. f/m - not my favourite, but anyway it's there.

Buffy Sainte-Marie has that beautiful lovesong He's a Pretty Good Man, where she mentions all the nice thing about the man she loves. One of the lines says: he's a lot of fun in a tickling fight..

It's from the old LP I'm gonna be a country girl again, I guess it's reissued on CD

Carly Simon, "Are You Ticklish?"

On her album PLAYING POSSUM (the cover photography has her in stocking feet), Carly Simon sings a song called "Are You Ticklish?" The words:

Are you ticklish
Or did I just hit a funny bone
Are you ticklish
Are we really alone?

Do you like me
Or am I just hoping for too much
Do you like me
Do you like to touch
Do you like me

I hear there's another side to you
Well there's another side to me too
Let's get over to the other side
Real soon

I hear there's an underneath to you
Well there's an underneath to me too
Let's get down underneath
Real soon

Are you lonesome
Well everybody's lonesome
So it's safe to assume you're lonesome
But are you ticklish
Are you ticklish

Yeah, that Brian Wilson daughter might be the one we all know who was a very cute BBW-turned-fragile boned social X-ray with high cheekbones. A senseless tragedy.

 

[sole seeker]

Joan Biez had a song with a line about tickling.

I don't remember which song it was, but the line went,
...Nicholas, come here and tickle us...

Do song parodies count? 😀

 

[nostradamas]

Boyz II Men has a line: "if you tickle my feet I'll tickle you back"

...or something like that.

 

[Oddjob0226]

Sara Hickman did two "tickle songs"...

Under the Sycamore Tree has the line

'The grass tickled my feet...'

Too Fast had the line

'Let's do it on the floor -
Tickle me instead!'

And she used to perform barefoot.

Blues man Mississippi John Hurt with "I'm Satisfied and Tickled Too."
