There are plenty of in-your-face, straightforward songs about sex out there (i.e.: Usher’s “Love In This Club,” Rolling Stones’ “Start Me Up,” or any AC/DC song ever written).
But here are 10 songs that you may or may not have realized are about getting it on — or at least trying to — to get you in the Valentine’s Day spirit.
WATCH:
Dave Matthews Band, “Crash Into Me”
Premise: Dave Matthews Band’s most famous song is disguised as a sweet love song, but is definitely about sex and maybe bondage.
The Everly Brothers, “Wake Up Little Susie”
Premise: Susie and some dude fell asleep after definitely not seing a movie, and now she is going to get in trouble with her parents and her friends will say “oh-la-la.”

Premise: Chuck wants to get it on, but can’t unfasten his lady friend’s seatbelt, so he goes home unsatisfied.

Premise: This catchy pop song is about how the singer likes to fool around with Sue and Daisy, who “drive him crazy.” When he sang it live Little Richard switched up the lyrics to,”Tutti Frutti, good booty / If it don’t fit, don’t force it / You can grease it, make it easy.”
Meat Loaf, “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”
Premise: This is an eight and a half minute song about teenagers doing it in a car. A baseball announcer even narrates it. It’s epic.
Led Zeppelin, “The Lemon Song”
Premise: The song isn’t about a fruit, but something else that, um, drips.

Premise: This catchy song is featured on just about every Christmas album, but it may or may not be about date rape.

Premise: Those oldie, doo-wop songs sure were sexual. Seemingly about a romance on the rocks, it’s actually about a one night stand and what a dude might say to get a woman into bed.
Grass Roots, “Let’s Live For Today”
Premise: What starts out as a tribute to the 1960’s era of the free spirit, it turns into a song about — you guess it — sex.
Third Eye Blind, “Deep Inside Of You”
Premise: While at first this seems like a sweet, emotional sort of deepness, it’s actually about another kind.
