History Main / BawdySong

** In ''[[Literature/{{Rihannsu}} Honor Blade]]'', a Rihannsu song called "The High Queen's Bastard Daughter" is mentioned twice, but no lyrics are given.

* In Creator/DianeDuane's ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novel ''The Wounded Sky'':
** A "bawdy ballad about the (improbable) offspring of the marriage between an Altasa and a Vulcan" is mentioned.

** In another of her books, ''[[Literature/{{Rihannsu}} Honor Blade]]'', a Rihannsu song called "The High Queen's Bastard Daughter" is mentioned twice, but no lyrics are given.

* On ''Radio/RoundTheHorne'' there was KennethWilliams' character of Rambling Syd Rumpo, an itinerant folk singer of questionable old English ballads packed with double entendre and general murkiness.

** Pratchett deconstructs this kind of song in ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment'', including a scene where the squad of [[SweetPollyOliver female soldiers]] criticize the numerous DoubleEntendre-laden songs treating as humorous [[AManIsNotAVirgin a man]] [[MyGirlIsNotASlut seducing a woman and then abandoning her when she's pregnant]].

* The 2007 film version of ''Film/{{Beowulf|2007}}'' has the Geats singing songs of this sort.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''

* The 2007 film version of ''Film/{{Beowulf}}'' has the Geats singing songs of this sort.

* In the movie ''Film/HeartbreakRidge'' Creator/ClintEastwood's platoon sing "Model T Ford and a tankful of gas, mouthful of pussy and a handful of ass!" while jogging past their stuck-up CO, Major Powers, who is standing next to a female marine. She is a good deal more amused than he is.

* ''Literature7TheCinderSpires'': Retired marine Ferus leads a taproom in a rousing chorus of a ditty known as "Farmer's Long Pickle". The contents of the lyrics are not divulged, beyond that thinking up new verses is a favored pastime on ships, that the best verses have been handed down for generations, and hearing one verse is enough to make Gwendolyn embarrassed, morally outraged and slightly queasy.

* Surprisingly (or not so much, if you're one of those surprised that this is supposed to be a children's film), ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'' has one in the form of Other Spink and Other Forcible's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGuJXsBqLRA stage play]], in which they argue over whether the ass or the boobs is a more important seduction figure.

* In ''[[Literature/HaroldShea The Mathematics of Magic]]'' by L. Sprague deCamp and Fletcher Pratt, HaroldShea and his companions are captured by The Blatant Beast, and it demands that they recite an epic poem that it hasn't heard before as their ransom for release. The only problem is that the only lengthy poem any of them knows by heart, that the Beast hasn't already heard, is ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ballad_of_Eskimo_Nell The Ballad of Eskimo Nell]]''.

* There is one printed in the format of a Creator/JackChick AuthorTract [[http://cockeyed.cfw.me/comics/39/ here]]

For professional musician's songs with sexual themes, see IntercourseWithYou. Compare the SoundOff, which is similar in that it can be quite rude and is typically a piece of oral tradition, but is somewhat less musical.

Many bawdy songs are themselves trope-laden, being replete with stereotyped characters, "wardrobe malfunctions", slapstick and cliches. Many are also examples of [[SatireParodyPastiche pastiche and parody]] or possibly FanFic, being set to the tune of "real" folk songs, pop songs etc.: for example, "Irian Jaya" to the tune of "Mull of Kintyre," "Masturbation" to "Alouette," "Incest is Best" and "Bestiality's Best" both to the tune of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport." Sometimes even national anthems ("Life Presents a Dismal Picture" to "Deutschland Über Alles" and "Ou Est La Papier" to "La Marseillaise"). Prisoners at Colditz Castle in UsefulNotes/WW2 had a lot of creative fun re-writing the German national anthem; the mildest version they came up with was "Deutschland, Deutschland Ünter Alles."

[[AC:FanFic]]
* There's a ''Series/DoctorWho'' FanFic in which the Doctor's asked what the rudest song he knows is -- apparently, it's "a toss-up between 'The Lonely Little Academy Girl' and 'Och Aye! 'Tis Rassilon's Mighty Firm Rod" (the latter of which apparently runs to about fifty-four verses).
* Athena Prime's VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic epic fanfic mentions a bawdy song called "The Starship Venus." Allronix, in her KOTOR fic, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2344822/1/Destinys_Pawn_Leviathan provides some of the lyrics]].
* In Rising Star (an adaption of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2), [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2726841/10/Rising_Star Sonic suggests Tails should sing something during their trip through Casino Night Zone.]] As it's revealed, Tails spent too much time hanging out behind the local bar...
* 'Galdwyn was a Shieldmaiden', in the ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'' fandom.
* The ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fanfic [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/164669/chapters/239418 People in the Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear]], (The pairing is [[CrackPairing Lt. Jee/Zuko]].) Zuko's crew sings a song called "The Balls of Captain Zhao" set to the tune of "The Girls from Ba Sing Se." Sadly, the song's full lyrics are never given [[NoodleIncident (though this just might make the song funnier)]], but they allegedly describe a made-up incident in which Zhao got his balls cut off and cooked into soup by a Water Tribe woman. Zhao is not a fan of this song.

* In the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' parody ''The Voyorgy Conspiracy'', in revenge for being given a CreepyPhysical, B'Elanna Torres reprograms the Doctor to sing the Klingon drinking song ''My Bat'leth Is Bigger Than Yours'' during an opera performance for the crew.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* A film parodying [[AwfulBritishSexComedy British sex comedies of the 1970s]] is titled ''EskimoNell'' after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ballad_of_Eskimo_Nell the most notorious bawdy song of them all]].

* The famous whistling scene in ''Film/TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai'' is an attempt to get "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball" [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar past the radar]].
** The song is called the "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Bogey_March Colonel Bogey March]]," and has been a favorite for adding smutty lyrics to since 1914. It was supposedly inspired by an officer who whistled the first two notes instead of shouting "fore" on the golf course, so the song was insulting even when given its original title.
*** Or not, considering that a "bogey" then, was what we today call a "par". Being called a scratch-player is probably NOT an insult anywhere.
** "Colonel Bogey March" inspired a CallBack of sorts about a decade after ''Bridge On The River Kwai'' was released when the Smothers Brothers did a comedic performance of the South African marching tune "Marching to Pretoria" in which they briefly stopped the song to discuss their favorite marching songs. They briefly reference "Colonel Bogey" (which they mistakenly call "March of the River Kwai") and note that you could never sing it because it was all whistling...then surmise that the song's lyrics must have been dirty, which is why they had to be whistled instead. Then, when they start singing again, one of them shifts to whistling just as their improvised lyrics are getting ''really'' naughty, prompting the audience to laugh.
* In the movie ''Film/HeartbreakRidge'' Creator/ClintEastwood's platoon sing ''Model T Ford and a tankful of gas, mouthful of pussy and a handful of ass!" while jogging past their stuck-up CO, Major Powers, who is standing next to a female marine. She is a good deal more amused than he is.

* Surprisingly (or not so much, if you're one of those surprised that this is supposed to be a children's film), ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'' has one in the form of Other Spink and Other Forcible's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGuJXsBqLRA&feature=PlayList&p=DCD67CE98D531DCE&index=6 stage play]], in which they argue over whether the ass or the boobs is a more important seduction figure.
--> A big-bottomed sea witch may bob through the waves,
--> And hope to lead sailors astray.
--> But a true ocean goddess
--> Must fill out her bodice
--> To present an alluring display.
* ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap'' had songs such as "Big Bottom," "Sex Farm," and "Lick My Love Pump" (the latter played without lyrics)
** Nigel sits down at a piano and plays something that sounds vaguely classical. He explains it's a kind of cross between Mozart and Bach. It's only at this point that he reveals the title is "Lick My Love Pump."
*** This is, of course, a reference to Mozart's canon "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C78HBp-Youk Lick Me in the Arse]]". Yes, that's the translation of the title.

* In the 2010 ''[[Film/RobinHood2010 Robin Hood]]'' movie, there was a scene in which a lute-playing member of the Merry Men started to sing this song:
--> Blessed be my darling / I loves you all to bits / I'll climb up to your chamber / And over your mountainous --
* ''Film/TheWickerMan''. The customers at a pub engage in a lusty rendition of "The Landlord's Daughter", to the annoyance of the straightlaced protagonist and the amusement of Willow, the ReallyGetsAround daughter of the pub's landlord. As Creator/ChristopherLee said in the DVDCommentary, it's a good song for when you've got a pint in your hand.

[[AC:{{Literature}}]]

* Literature/{{Discworld}}:
** Two of Nanny Ogg's favorite tunes are "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered at All" and "A Wizard's Staff Has a Knob on the End". In ''Discworld/GoingPostal'', a drunken banker is described as singing "the sort of song that is hilarious to rugby players and anyone under the age of eleven". There was also the song "All The Little Angels (How Do They Rise Up)", a marching song from the novel ''Discworld/NightWatch'', and described as the best kind of song for old soldiers--sentimental, with dirty bits.
*** Fans have of course written their own lyrics to Nanny Ogg's songs, some of which were printed in the aptly named fanzine ''The Wizard's Knob''. You really ''don't'' want to read them. This creativity on the part of the fans led to a priceless dedication in the UK edition of ''Discworld/WitchesAbroad'': "To all those people - and why not? - who, after the publication of ''Discworld/WyrdSisters'', deluged the author with their version of the words of 'The Hedgehog Song'. Deary deary me..."
*** A version of "A Wizard's Staff" appears on the ''From The Discworld'' CD (words by Heather Wood, music by Dave Greenslade). The full lyrics (only some of which are used on the CD) can be found [[http://aheatherwood.com/wizard.htmlon on her website]].

---> It's in May, it's about sex.

--->Four and twenty virgins\\

There were four and twenty less.

--> "Whe-an Wold King-Cole / was a / wakkin doon-t'street,\\

Ee could'ernt elp it, / ee Ad to."
* In the SvenHassel novels the songs "I Was Born And Brought Up In A Brothel" and "The Girl Who Made Love To Electricity" are mentioned several times, fortunately (?) without lyrics.

* The Franchise/{{Dune}} series has the slightly bawdy song that is not explicitly given a title in the series, focusing mainly on prostitution:
-->The Galacian girls will do it for pearls,
-->And the Arrakeen do it for water!
-->But if you desire dames like consuming flames,
-->Try a Caladanin daughter!
* Literature/TheWheelOfTime ("The Dragon Reborn", to be precise) has a song about an easy girl from Lugard sung in a rowdy Illianer tavern. The beginning is given and sounds rather innocent:
-->A Lugard girl, she came to town, to see what she could see.
-->With a wink of her eye, and a smile on her lip,
-->she snagged a boy or three, or three.
** But the rest, not given by Jordan, mightily embarrasses Perrin who takes some time to understand what precisely is this song about.
* Danilo Thann, a bard from ''ForgottenRealms'' novels by Elaine Cunningham, used to sing these as a part of his RichIdiotWithNoDayJob image and even wrote some himself. The books include a few fragments of the ''Ballad of the Zhentish Raiders'' who "[[BestialityIsDepraved kill off all the women / For they much prefer the sheep]]" and "[[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Elminster's Jest]]" ([[http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1888&whichpage=22#61128 see its full lyrics]]).
* In Creator/DianeDuane's ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novel ''The Wounded Sky'', "a bawdy ballad about the (improbable) offspring of the marriage between an Altasa and a Vulcan" is mentioned.
--> ''Oh I was the strangest kiddie that you ever have seen''
--> ''[[http://www.thebards.net/music/lyrics/The_Orange_And_Green.shtml My mother, she was orange and my father, he was green...]]''

* In the Castings Trilogy there's one that details the relative merits of girls from different cities. Ash, the son of a pair of folk singers, notes that he learned the song as a child and it [[LateToThePunchline took him years to realize]] just what it was that "the fellows all agree" about girls from Turvite.
* ThomasPynchon's books are ''full'' of these. It's one of his most notable stylistic tendencies. ''Gravity's Rainbow'' actually contains a bawdy song entitled "Bawdy Song".
* In ''[[HaroldShea The Mathematics of Magic]]'' by L. Sprague deCamp and Fletcher Pratt, HaroldShea and his companions are captured by The Blatant Beast, and it demands that they recite an epic poem that it hasn't heard before as their ransom for release. The only problem is that the only lengthy poem any of them knows by heart, that the Beast hasn't already heard, is ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ballad_of_Eskimo_Nell The Ballad of Eskimo Nell]]''.
* The Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse has Venusian expert Benny Summerfield reveal that the "Venusian lullaby" the Doctor sings to Aggedor in the Peladon stories is actually "one of the most bawdy rhymes in the known universe". The Doctor replies "Venusian is a language as dead as dead can be. If I say it's a lullaby, it's a lullaby".

* In Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire, any song that was a favorite of King Robert was 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.]]
* Referenced a couple of times in the {{Redwall}} series, but NarrativeProfanityFilter blocks most of them. The only one we see is more {{Gorn}}, when Blaggut and Slipp consider "Slaughter of the Crew of the Rusty Chain" an appropriate song to sing in front of children.
* ''Between Silk and Cyanide''. During UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 SOE was using a code based on a poem memorized by an agent. Given that most agents used commonly known poems that they remembered from school, Leo Marks encouraged his code section to make up their own poems to increase security, which got him in trouble with his superiors when someone came across some female decoders writing a dirty ditty about General De Gaulle. Later another superior is unamused when he finds a limerick Marks had written about woman of his acquaintance in TheOldestProfession; Marks quickly assures the officer that the poem was ''not'' meant for agents.
* A group of soldiers sing "Roll Me Over In the Clover" at the end of ''Literature/TheNakedAndTheDead''.

* In ''Literature/WolvesOfTheCalla'' in the ''Literature/DarkTower'' series, during the party after the gunslingers arrive, the Calla Bryn Sturgis folk sing a song in their own dialect that the gunslingers can't understand, but Eddie guesses that it's a bawdy song from the people's laughter.

-->There once was a man from Nantucket
-->Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
-->But his daughter, named Nan,
-->Ran away with a man
-->And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* In an episode of ''Series/HiDeHi'', there is panic at the news that Old Partridge, the Punch-and-Judy man who hates children, is singing ''Eskimo Nell'' in front of the dear ickle kiddiwinks.

-->'''Captain Mainwaring''': Well, at least it was a religious song.
-->'''Private Frazer''': (rolls eyes meaningfully) It wuznai' rrreligious!
* Creator/MontyPython had a few of these, such as "Sit On My Face" (to the tune of "Sing As We Go") [[http://hashhymnal.webcomic.ws/comics/54/ read it here]] and "The Lumberjack Song". [[http://hashhymnal.webcomic.ws/comics/58/ here]].
** And the more explicit "[[strike:Penis Song]]Not Noel Coward Song".
* And "Anything Goes" - the "Anything Goes" by Music/ColePorter, that is.

* The ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'' episode ''Beer'' mentions a couple of songs that ''might'' be these: the unheard "I'm Merlin the Happy Pig" and the unnamed [[OrphanedPunchline partly-heard]] song about a goblin.
** Edmund's goblin song. Think about it: the "nosey-wose" is a certain something found between men's legs, and the "feet" are two certain somethings on each side of it...
*** And, of course, "Isn't the goblin (gobbling) sweet?" - "YES!!!"

---> '''Queenie''': And [Melchett was] singing a song about a girl who possessed something called a 'dickie di-do'.
---> '''Edmund''': It's a lovely old hymn, isn't it.
*** [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Interestingly safe]], as, unless you'd actually heard the song you [[UnusualEuphemism wouldn't know for sure what a ''dickie di-do'' was]]. It's exactly as bad as you might suspect - the following is a relatively ''tame'' verse;
---> It took a coal miner,
---> To find her vagina,
---> for the hairs on her dickie-di-do hung down to her knees.

** Another song that is merely referred to in the fourth season is apparently called 'I May Be A Tiny Chimney Sweep But I've Got An Enormous Brush'.

* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' parodies this with the Irish Drinking Song game.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0wRStGT1Bg Sometimes]] it [[GoneHorriblyRight fails to be a parody]].
* Period drama ''Series/UpstairsDownstairs'' has one of these, and it's a ThemeTuneCameo, at that! In her music hall act, Sarah performs the stately march of the opening theme as a rollicking BawdySong, "What Are We Going to Do with Uncle Arthur?"
-->"''What are we going to do with Uncle Arthur?''
-->''A blinking stallion, is Uncle Arthur.''
-->''When he goes a-strolling in the park,''
-->''Watch your step, girls, especially after dark.''
-->''Any old skirt's a flirt to Uncle Arthur,''
-->''He's over eighty, but how he can run!''
-->'''Give us a kiss, my dear,' he'd say,''
-->''And tickle you up the boom-di-ay,''
-->''And say it was just an 'armless bit of fun."''
** The complete lyrics are [[http://www.updown.org.uk/sounds/lyrics.htm here]].
* In season three of ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'', Joxer sings a bawdy version of his theme song, accompanied by an entire brothel. "Just check out my shoe size", indeed.
*** Also, Gabrielle's little ditty in ''Fins, Femmes, and Gems.''

-->'Twas on the good ship Venus,
-->By Christ you should've seen us!
-->The figurehead
-->Wasn't made of lead
-->[[SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion And wasn't shaped like anything in particular!]]
->The third verse:
-->The ship's dog name was Big Balls'
-->Though no one knew exactly why he was called that.
-->There was nothing remarkable about the size of his knackers,
-->And the name was gratuitous and offensive.
* A few lines of different bawdy songs will appear on ''Series/{{Mash}}'' every once in a while, most notably one Colonel Potter (a WWII vet) sings:
-->'''Potter''': Oh, I love to go swimmin'
-->With bow-legged women
-->And swim between their legs
* Fran asks Bernard to sing one of these in Series/BlackBooks because he is Irish. He refuses, so she attempts one herself, in a very bad Irish accent.
-->Oh, Eamonn, Danny, dear,\\

THE ENGLISH ARE ALL... BOLLOCKS.
* In ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', the [[OverlyLongName Sir Thomas Neville Servo Consort of the Middle-Ages-Just-After-the-Plague Singers]] followed up their "Aire On a Delta Knight" with one.
-->'''Servo:''' Oi, mates, let's 'ave a dirty one!\\

* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' and Niles:
-->Well, some boys go to college\\

And we get all the...umpta, umpta, umpta...

-->Do your balls hang low?\\

Oh you'll never be a sailor if your balls hang low!

[[AC:{{Music}}]]

--> '''Granny''': I knows all about folk songs. Hah! You think you're listenin' to a nice song about...about cuckoos and fiddlers and nightingales and whatnot, and then it turns out to be about...about something else entirely.
** [[FilkSong Filk music as well]] since it's the bastard child of FolkMusic and sci-fi fandom. The now-infamous song "Banned from Argo" by Leslie Fish is an example.
* In real life, many songs by Music/TheWho have astonishingly risque lyrics ("Pictures of Lily", "Squeeze Box", "Mary Ann with the Shaky Hands" to name but three...)
** Although in all fairness, "Squeeze Box" is -- according to Pete Townshend -- a perfectly clean song about a woman who owns an accordion, written to ''sound'' like an extended DoubleEntendre.
* [[Music/HidetoMatsumoto hide's]] live-only song "Natural Born Onanist." Fits here since it seems to have been live-only: it was never released as a studio recording.

* ''Hunting Girl'' by Music/JethroTull deliberately weds the ancient traditions of bawdy folk songs with modern rock and roll.
** ''Kissing Willie'' is even less subtle.
--->Nice girl but a bad girl's better.
--->Me and Willie just can't help coming when she calls.

* Richard Brinsley Sheridan's classic play, ''TheSchoolForScandal'' (1777) features one of these. It sounds mild today, naturally, due to [[GetTheeToANunnery changing language]] and values.
-->'''Verse:''' Here's to the charmer whose dimples we prize; Now to the maid who has none, sir; Here's to the girl with a pair of blue eyes, And here's to the nymph with but one, sir.
-->'''Chorus:''' Let the toast pass, Drink to the lass, I warrant she'll prove an excuse for a glass!
** Sheridan also wrote a poem titled the [[http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=180820 Geranium]] which is kind of similar to the Pratchett rhubarb example. In both cases, the plant the woman is interested in is likely something else.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* In the ''Sims 2 Freetime'' expansion pack, you can unlock the ability to sing a "Rowdy Folk Song." It's actually just "Row, row, row your boat" in Simlish.
** Of course, as it's Simlish, it could be incredibly sexually explicit and ''nobody would know.''
*** That's a StealthPun. It's a Row-dy Song.

* ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' has "A Less Rude Song". Someone transcribed it at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:A_Less_Rude_Song

* The SoundOff "quote" upon building a Network Node in ''SidMeiersAlphaCentauri'' is one of these [[DoubleEntendre when you]] [[UnusualEuphemism think about it]]:

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Deep Space Homer," Homer tries to impress the NASA observers by doing cartwheels while singing a "I once met a man from Nantucket" limerick. He crashes into the wall before he can get to the bawdy part, however.

* In a similar vein, there was a Mouseketeers take-off on ''TinyToonAdventures'' where a wheel would be spun to see who would get the next cartoon.
-->'''Babs''': Buster, would you like to lead us in the song?\\
'''Buster''': Sure! There once was a man from Nantucket --\\
'''Babs''': No, no, the ''other'' song!
* A ''very'' popular dirty song to allude to in cartoons, that one. Even WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants gets in on the act, in the episode where SpongeBob attempts to sing an apology to Squidward onstage at the local opera. He even has his lyrics prepared on a sheet of paper...
-->'''SpongeBob''': ''[clears throat]'' There once was a man from Nantucket --\\
'''Audience''': ''[horrified gasps]''\\
'''SpongeBob''': ''[embarrassed pause]'' Erm, sorry...
** For anyone who doesn't know the limerick in question, it's [[http://hashhymnal.webcomic.ws/comics/15/ this one]](WARNING: NSFW)

--> It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Se / But the girls in the city they look so pretty / And they kiss so sweet that you've really got to meet / The girls from Ba Sing Se!

* On ''Radio/RoundTheHorne'' there was Kenneth Williams' character of Rambling Syd Rumpo, an itinerant folk singer of questionable old English ballads packed with double entendre and general murkiness.

* Probably the songs Music/DropkickMurphys are best known for, including "Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced" and "The Spicy [=McHaggis=] Jig" ("Spicy was big, burly, and strong / His pipes were gigantic and so was his schlong / From city to city, running around / Always looking for chicks over [[AmericanCustomaryMeasurements four hundred pounds]].")

* In ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', the [[OverlyLongName Sir Thomas Neville Servo Consort of the Middle Ages Just After the Plague Singers]] followed up their "Aire On a Delta Knight" with one.

** Let's not forget "[[YourMom A Cautionary]] Song" either...

* Music/FrankZappa also has his fair share of badwy songs and tracks: "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?" (''Music/JoesGarage''), "I Promise Not To Come In Your Mouth" (''Music/ZappaInNewYork''), "Let's Make The Water Turn Black" (about two people he knew who collected urine and boogers) (''Music/WereOnlyInItForTheMoney''), "Do You Like My New Car?"
