* George Formby was a British entertainer from the 1930s and '40s who was known for innuendo-filled songs such as "My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock". [[note]]In this context, "rock" refers to a (usually) peppermint-flavoured sweet sold in British seaside resorts. Basically, imagine a straight candy cane with writing through the middle.[[/note]] Many of his songs got banned by Creator/TheBBC for being too rude.

* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'': As part of the enhanced Christmas celebrations at Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament, the suits of armour which line the halls are enchanted to sing carols whenever anyone walks past. However, these suits of armour only know half the words and the school's resident poltergeist Peeves takes to hiding in them and adding his own, "very rude" lyrics to the songs.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley'', Alice tells Geraldine some kids have created their own version of the Christmas carol "While Shepherds Watched", which Geraldine is eager to hear. In this version, the shepherds are "seated on a bank" and the Angel of the Lord comes down to teach them to do something. Geraldine cuts the kids off before they get to the last word, but it's strongly implied that it would have been a British slang term for "pleasuring oneself".

Specifically, Robert is the bear; Cersei is the maiden.


* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', any song that is a favorite of King Robert is probably bawdy. The lyrics aren't always disclosed, but they have titles like "Her Little Flower", "Milady's Supper", "Meggett Was a Merry Maid," "Six Maids in a Pool", and "When Willum's Wife Was Wet". Among the songs whose lyrics ''are'' disclosed is "The Bear and the Maiden Fair," which is kind of [[BestialityIsDepraved exactly what it sounds like.]]

"The Dornishman's Wife" is just as explicit, with references to the Dornish weapon of choice, the "spear".
