Songs with Sexual Innuendo from the 90s

from The DORK Side

We've discussed the 70s and then the 80s, a decade where sexual subtlety was as absent as shoulder padding is today. The 80s was all power ballads and direct requests. The 90s, however, evolved. Grunge made everything seem so serious, while pop became a lecture in plausible deniability. We traded the leather-clad obviousness of "Pour Some Sugar On Me" for the suburban fantasy of a "Barbie Girl." This segment explores how the 90s used bubblegum pop and hip-hop to smuggle adult themes into the mainstream under the guise of innocent fun. It was the decade of the double-entendre, where the lyrics were clean enough for mom to sing, but things were starting to get a lot dirtier.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
