Every February, everyone is focused on love because of Valentine’s Day. I thought about focusing the show on one of the many moods associated with love, but to be perfectly frank, I spent most of February just being damn horny. Part of the inspiration from this show was held over from the 90s nostalgia I had back in January and having Tribe Called Quest’s “Electric Relaxation,” on repeat and marveling at just how sex focused that song was. A lot of people seem to miss that entirely, perhaps because that “Mystic Brew” inspired beat overpowers you, but the song is about nothing but Tip and Fife talking about how much they love having sex with the particular partners they’re currently “romancing.” Hip-Hop often is painted as being unique in how frank and directly sexual many of it’s songs are, but raunchy songs ain’t nothing new. In fact, we take it all the way back to the 18th century with the one and only Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his delightful ode to Analingus, translated below from the original German:
Lick my arse nicely,
lick it nice and clean,
nice and clean, lick my arse.
That’s a greasy desire,
nicely buttered,
like the licking of roast meat, my daily activity.
Three will lick more than two,
come on, just try it,
and lick, lick, lick.
Everybody lick their arse for themselves.
Now, THAT is a greasy desire, indeed! And so, instead of being all lovey dovey, I chose “Lascivious,” and focused on some of the raunchiest, dirtiest (and aside from Tribe which starts the show, non-Hip-Hop) music I’ve ever come across. Back when I was on terrestrial radio I would have had to censor most every lyric in these songs, but being on online radio is a different beast, and thus you get to hear all of these songs in all their lascivious glory. I hope these songs bring a smile to you, make you blush and maybe got you thinking some lascivious thoughts of your own.
