** 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.

'''[[MesACrowd Servo, Servo, Servo and Girl-Servo]]:''' ''Oh, I love to mush me buckles in me missus' pigeon pie,'' \\
''I love to pop me mashy out and let the bullets fly!'' \\
''But most of all, I love to take me scriffer by the hand,'' \\
''And deedily-die me jacksies on me dickers, they be grand!'' \\
''I love to take me pencil out and scribe into the snow'' \\
''A couple o'dozen limericks as dirty as I know...''
** Not the first time a choir of Tom Servos have tried to sneak a bawdy song into the show. The United Servo Academy Men's Chorus attempted to follow up their academy hymn with a performance of "The Mademoiselle from Armentières" (a/k/a "Hinky Dinky Parlez-vous").

* [[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.

* Danilo Thann, a bard from ''Literature/ForgottenRealms'' novels by Elaine Cunningham, used to sing these as a part of his UpperClassTwit 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]]).

* The famous whistling scene in ''Film/TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai'' is an attempt to get "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball" 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.

These are often... in fact, almost always... [[DrunkenSong sung when the character doing the singing is totally plastered]].

* Danilo Thann, a bard from ''Literature/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]]).

* 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 "Not Noel Coward Song".

* Khia's ""My Neck, My Back (Lick It)".

* Music/DeepPurple has Knocking at your back door. It is not about a house.

* ''Literature/TheWarAgainstTheChtorr''. While in the shower [=McCarthy=] sings, ''A Bisexual Built for Two''.

* In ''Literature/DreamPark'' and its sequel ''Literature/TheBarsoomProject'', Gamers keep each others' spirits up while trekking around the Gaming areas with hearty renditions of the likes of "Cats on the Rooftops", the dirtiest verses of "That Real Old Time Religion", and (of course!) "The Ballad of Eskimo Nell". In ''The Barsoom Project'', a modest Gamer bribes another '''not''' to finish singing the latter in mixed company; the bribe-giver's brother promptly starts singing "Kafoozalem" instead.

* ''VideoGame/GhostOfATale'' has a minstrel for a player character, and naturally one of the songs in his repertoire is one of these. "The Rat with Two Tails" involves a badger queen a rat with, well, think about it. (One suspects it might be a lot longer than is shown, but Tilo edits for time and decency.)

* Dreamtale's "Secret Door," a song about anal sex done in epic Main/{{Power Metal}} style.
* Karen Finley's [[https://youtu.be/Rrr4qNJJ7U8 "Tales of Taboo"]]. (Warning: [[UpToEleven extremely]] {{NSFW}})

* In ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfTotalDramaIsland'', the Muskies sing several such songs after dinner during the camping challenge, including "Barnacle Bill the Sailor”. They would even have sung "The Good Ship Venus" if enough of them had known the words.

-->''Ar-sol, ar-sol, a soldier’s life for me!\\

For they don’t want it up ’em, don’t want it up ’em, don’t want it up and over!''

* ''VisualNovel/TheHeistMonaco'': In one of the premium choices in chapter 16, you can ask your hacker to play [[spoiler:a rap with dirty words describing explicit sexual acts]] after hacking Ansel's cell phone.

* Mondain from ''Film/LesChoristes'', being the resident {{Delinquent}}, loves singing these in the face of the teachers. Maxence almost kicks him to the punishment room, before [[SaveOurStudents cheerful music teacher]] Mathieu notices his baritone would be great for his choir.

* The [[https://www.horntip.com/mp3/horntip_collection_field_recordings.htm Jack Horntip Collection]] compiles almost 1,6000 recordings of people singing what they recall of the folk songs they grew up with (from the military, sports teams, fraternities, gangs, etc.), which are very often these. Sample titles: "The Sexual Life of the Camel," "Are You Going To Get A Hard-on (So Suck Me Off)," "Tit Punctured By a Spoke," and many less printable.

* ''Literature/AbleTeam''. In "Amazon Slaughter", the Indian tribe the team have allied themselves with are singing a song in their own language as they sail down the Amazon. Carl Lyons asks for a translation, but is told that it doesn't make much sense in English.

-->''(Carl laughs)'' "Yeah, it makes sense in English."

* In addition to the quote at the top of the article, Heinlein's short story "Literature/TheGreenHillsOfEarth" has old blind Rhysling, the Singer of the Spaceways, as the protagonist. Some of his songs, while not quoted, are referred to as "unfit for publication in a family magazine" by the narrator.

* ''The Green Hills of Earth'', by Creator/RobertAHeinlein. Among the songs the blind spaceman protagonist sings are reputed to be some bawdy ones. ''A Spacesuit Built'' For Two is mentioned, so that might be one.

And swim between their legs''

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

* ''Literature/TheKingkillerChronicle'': Kvothe gets back at his university nemesis Ambrose Jakis by composing and publicly performing the song "[[PunnyName Jackass]], Jackass". It becomes quite popular in town with its [[EarWorm simple, catchy tune]] and ribald lyrics about a donkey who wants to become an arcanist.
