Double Entendres

[Coolhandjjl]

Right away from the beginning:
Rock n’ Roll
Rocket 88

And in the early years:
Hot Tuna

Got to be tons more.

 

[Oddly]

Honestly, I had to go see why Rocket 88 and Hot Tuna were listed.
I've clearly led a sheltered life.

 

[RichardW]

Steely Dan
The Slits
The Fugs

"I'm a King Bee" by Slim Harpo. There's barely a line in that song that isn't a double entendre.
"D'yer Mak'er" by Zeppelin. Pronounced "djamaker" (hence the ersatz reggae beat) and meant to be "did you make her."

 

[Coolhandjjl]

Sugar Sugar
Sugar Shack
Come on-a My House
Squeeze My Lemon

 

[ONYX]

Custard Pie--Led Zeppelin

I'd quote the relevant line from the song (that prompted the crowd response that named them), but I'm not so keen on getting banned.

Jazz, or “Jass” music, gestated(no pun intended)in the brothels of New Orleans, literally the ‘house music’, and drew from Ragtime, Blues, and N.O. Second Line horn bands. The Jass/Jazz part could have derived from “Jezabel”, slang for fallen woman, or possibly a derivation of, well, just substitute an ‘i’ for ‘a’, and you get the idea.

There's a long tradition of double entendre in both R&B and calypso especially. Some calypso and reggae:

Mighty Sparrow (and others): "The Big Bamboo" and "Saltfish"
Lord Kitchener: "Doctor Kitch" and "My Pussin'"
General Degree" "Pianist"
Bob Marley: "Stir It Up"

 

[kesslari]

Cindy Lauper's "She Bop"
And of course "Jelly Roll Blues"

Early in his career, when asked what he did before becoming a musician, Bob Marley would reply that he had been a welder.
"Welding" is Jamaican slang for, well, you know...

And of course there's the Wailers song "Guava Jelly"
And "Kinky Reggae" contains several...

Harry Roy & His Bat Club Boys - My Girl's Pussy LYRICS
Harry Roy - When can I have a banana again?
Please leave my butter alone - Elsie Carlisle
I could keep it up all night(y'know, listing these songs...)

 

[chicoLow]

Pearl Necklace

 

[Ostie]

Candy Man. I can’t even quote the song here without blushing. Surely couldn’t sing it in front of my mother.

That's right. I Roy even had a song about it:

 

[Fleur-de-Bass]

Rocket 69, Sixty Minute Man. Some other fallout songs I love singing these!
