** "The Jack", (at least in its original album form) is ostensibly about a poker game, but with lines like 'How was I to know that she'd been shuffled before... said she'd never had a royal flush' and 'She was holding a pair, but I had to try...' and 'She'd have the cards to bring me down, if she played them right' its clearly about [[GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex something else]].

Music/{{Eminem}} has also made an AnswerSong -- "'97 Bonnie and Clyde" -- also turning it into a song about an actual relationship, albeit [[TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether an unconventional one]].


Added DiffLines:

* Music/{{Eminem}} has become infamous for cramming these into his lyrics starting mostly from ''Music/TheMarshallMathersLP2''. Probably his best ''song'' that is an entire double entendre is 2020's "Darkness", which is simultaneously about the Las Vegas SpreeKiller Steven Paddock, and a WhiteDwarfStarlet Eminem relapsing on drugs in his hotel room before a show.

* One of the infamous deal-breakers that caused Music/{{Heart}} to leave their first label, Mushroom Records, was an [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity deliberately controversial ad]] for ''Dreamboat Annie'' they published without consulting the Wilson sisters, with double entendres insinuating they were [[IncestSubtext lesbian sister lovers]]. The headline read "It Was Our First Time". This embarrassment, and the heckling they endured not long after by chauvinistic male executives at a label showcase, were the inspiration being one of their toughest rockers, "Barracuda" (referring to the "barracuda" tour jackets the hecklers wore).

* "The Pussy Cat Song", originally performed by Connie Vannett, is on one level, just about a cat that gets into various misadventures... However, the cat is frequently referred to as a "pussy", and the cumulative chorus keeps adding suggestive adjectives to describe the cat that make sense in the context of the verses (over the course of the song, the "pussy" becomes "sore", "wet", "hot", "bald", etc):

* "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band has lyrics that are quite obviously about sex to adults but that kids are completely oblivious to. This was a very popular and catchy hit, which resulted in kids everywhere singing the song not understanding why all the adults found that hilarious.

* The German music video created by Jamster called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ganUAmDaM3A "Pussycat Tiger"]] which features a [[CuteKitten white female CGI cat character of the same name]]. The song mainly focuses on said character trying to charm and get a kiss from a male cat. While the idea sounds sweet, it can also be given a different meaning seeing her behavior throughout the music video including making suggestive moans, purrs, meows and body movements. This also appears to be the only music video featuring the character as of 2011.
