** The Rin Kagamine song "Iroha Uta" opens up with a list of the various things the singer wants to be tied up with. The rest of the song is a touch more subtle, but the implications are still there. "Watashi no Inu" ("My Dog") and another Music/{{Vocaloid}} example. Also Miku Hatsune's "Doemu."
** The singer in Gumi's KiLLER LADY comes off as very dominant, comparing the person they're talking about to a dog at a few points.

* Edge of Dawn's "Elegance", alongside straight IntercourseWithYou lyrics, has shades of this. "I'm not asking you to give, I want you to take". What's more, it also appeared in ''VideoGame/ProjectGothamRacing 4'', along with [[Music/MyChemicalRomance "House of Wolves"]] (see above), [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar completely unedited.]]

* "Venus In Furs" by Music/VelvetUnderground from ''Music/TheVelvetUndergroundAndNico'' is almost certainly the TropeMaker, way back in 1967. It's named after the 1870 novella ''Venus in Furs'' written by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the source of the term masochism. This is all obviously AuthorAppeal, since the name of the band comes from a book about New York City's BDSM scene. "Some Kinda Love" also qualifies.

\n*A sort of subversion is Rammstein's Mein Teil. The song itself is about that time a cannibal politely put out a classified add, and got a volunteer whose only condition was that the cannibal eat his penis first. But, since the German word "Teil" literally means "part", the video is about bondage which is ironically less [[DarkerAndEdgier dark]] than the song's actual subject. The video is mostly Fanservice, referencing running jokes about the band members, though interviews with the band imply that some of the scenes were based on Lindemann's (the singer and lyricist) fantasies. The band played this trope relatively straight in Ich Will, although bondage is only one possible interpretation of the lyrics.

* “Mondo Bondage” by [[http://www.thetubes.com "The Tubes"]] is a song from their eponymous 1975 album. Many Website/YouTube videos exist of the band performing it with extremely graphic, campy, theatrical staging including nudity, leather outfits, outrageous play acting, and ropes suspending performers above the stage. The ironically tongue-in-cheek lyrics seem to be about someone caught up in a BDSM lifestyle who gets in over their head and has very ambiguous feelings about it. At the time it was quite shocking and transgressive.\\

* "Under Pressure" by Music/ZZTop details the relationship of a man with a woman who clearly doesn't put much stock in SafeSaneAndConsensual, and mentions her love of "whips and chains" as a prominent aspect of why he's not happy. Other reasons include her taste for cocaine, a controlling and manipulative personality and even [[BestialityIsDepraved implied bestiality]]. The title can be taken both metaphorically, as his distress and lack of enjoyment clearly don't matter to her, and literally, with all the pain that entails. BondageIsBad is in full force, since the singer believes she's going to beat him within an inch of his life when he tells her he wants out.

* "Submission" by the Music/SexPistols from ''Music/NeverMindTheBollocksHeresTheSexPistols'' was ''supposed'' to be this.

** "The Filth and the Fetish" goes even further, opening with the line "I don't want your pussy, I want your body bruised and bloody" and all of the lyrics from start to finish dealing with rough BDSM, including the sounds of whipping and a woman crying in pain.
** In general, William Control is essentially the Obligatory Bondage Song ''personified''. Almost every song about sex is about BDSM and every album contains at least one (sometimes more than one). He was known for bringing attractive girls on stage to spank during concerts.

* Similiar to the Tenchi example, there is a WeissKreuz song called ''Bosanova, Casanova'' with some [[http://www.kekkai.org/wkcorner/media/bosanovacasanova.html provocative lyrics]]. And since it is a duet between male singers, it even plays into the show's HoYay factor.
