For a country that published the Kama Sutra, we are really tightly wound up about sex! We would rather be proud of our enormous population (psst! It’s not always a good thing) than be okay with talking about sex out loud. However, when it comes to the entertainment industry, artists and movies around the world have cleverly managed to create songs that seem harmless when you listen to them first, but are downright naughty if you pay close attention. Don’t take our word for it; check out our list of songs about sex that definitely surprised us when we unmasked their true identities!
1. ‘Macarena’ – Los Del Rio
Lyrics:
Now don’t you worry about my boyfriend
The boy whose name is Vitorino
Ha! I don’t want him, can’t stand him
He was no good so I (ha ha ha)
Now come on, what was I supposed to do?
He was out of town and his two friends were so fine
I think it’s safe to say that our childhood is officially ruined. Although, how can we possibly give up the chance to shake a leg to our favourite dance routine for every birthday party? Ayyy MACARENA!
Cheating is never a comfortable option. Instead, don’t ever make your guy forget how much you care about him. Decorate your cushions with this adorable Indibni Valentine I Love U Cushion Cover for Rs 299.
2. ‘Maal Gaadi’ – Andaz
Lyrics:
Yeh maal gaadi tu dhakka laga
Garam ho gaya engine iska, tu dhakka dete ja
Yeh maal gaadi driver main tera
Chalu karunga engine iska, tu darti hai kya
Okay, what were they thinking? This song is so not talking about the efficiency of cargo trains. So much for the sanskaari bandwagon, Bollywood!
Drivers, captains, officer or whatever fetish it is that gets your engine going, turn the heat up in your bedroom with this Durex Play Cheeky Cherry Lubricant for Rs 340.
3. ‘Candy Shop’ – 50 Cent
Lyrics:
I’m a seasons vet when it come to this s**t
After you work up a sweat you can play with the stick
I’m trying to explain baby the best way I can
I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands (ha ha)
This one is common knowledge now, but we definitely had no shame jamming out to this song in our homes and singing along to “I’ll let you lick the lollipop”! Our innocence is such a beautiful, fleeting phase!
Sweet and sensual flavours don’t only belong in the candy shop. Spice things up in the bedroom with this Pipedream Male Gummy Peach Undies for Rs 799.
4. ‘Ringa ringa’ – Slumdog Millionaire
Lyrics:
Khatiye pe main padi thi
Aur gehri neend badi thi
Aage kya main kahu sakhi re
Ek khatmal tha sayana
Mujhpe tha uska nishana
Chunari main ghus gaya dheere, dheere
Covert, and a lot less suggestive than most songs, this song definitely took awhile for people to realise what it was really about. The evasive khatmal is not a common euphemism for sex, and we totally applaud the clever wordplay!
5. ‘Bang Bang’ – Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj
Lyrics:
She might’ve let you hold her hand in school
But I’m a show you how to graduate
No, I don’t need to hear you talk the talk
Just come and show me what your momma gave
Yes, the chorus couldn’t be more obvious, but the opening lines pretty much give it away “She got a booty like a Cadillac, but I can send you into overdrive”. Doesn’t leave much to the imagination, does it?
Go bang bang in the night and leave no holds barred with your partner in this sexy Shararat Honeymoon Lingerie for Rs 329.
6. ‘Namak Isk Ka’ – Omkara
Lyrics:
Karvat karvat pyaas lagi thi
Aji balam ki aahat paas lagi thi
Tej tha chhaunka ka karoon
Dali bhar dala dala re namak ishq ka
Zabaan pe laga laga re namak ishq ka
What is with Bollywood using everyday objects as strong sexual innuendos in songs? Like showing two flowers was the ultimate symbolism for sex in movies, looks like namak was the bad boy masquerading as the perfect metaphor for all things naughty here!
7. ‘Smack That’ – Akon
Lyrics:
Maybe go to my place and just kick it like TaeBo
And possibly bend you over look back and watch me
Smack that all on the floor
Smack that give me some more
Smack that ’til you get sore
Smack that oh-oh!
Another favourite of the 90s kids, this song was hilariously inappropriate for anyone singing it out loud. Akon sure came up with really catchy songs that were earworms that got stuck in our heads for days!
8. ‘Khada hai’ – Andaz
Lyrics:
Khada hai khada hai khada hai
Dar pe tere aashiq khada hai
Khol khol khol darwaja khol
Bol bol bol pyar ke do bol
If only Pahlaj Nihalani had the power to see into the future and realise that this heavily suggestive song from the movie he produced would come to haunt him, maybe he wouldn’t have given film directors such a hard time! Where were our sanskaars gone then, Mr Nihalani?
9. ‘Sugar’ – Maroon 5
Lyrics:
Yeah, you show me good loving
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Sugar, yes please
Won’t you come and put it down on me?
Make him go ‘Yes please!’ in the bedroom with the pleasurable Skore Chocolate Flavoured Condoms for Rs 268.
10. ‘Kachchi Kaliyan Mat Todo’ – Laaga Chunari Mein Daag
Lyrics:
Kachchi kaliyaan mat todho, malan degi gaaliyaan
Kachchi kaliyaan hum naa todhen, le jaayen poora bageecha
Malan teri bagiyaa bhali hai
Har kyaari mein kaliyaan khilli hain
Bhavre hum prem ke pyase
Sun lenge teri gaaliyaan
Bollywood has done it yet again with the socially acceptable version of referring to virgins as flowers that you aren’t supposed to ‘pluck’. They sure did take the term ‘deflowering’ creatively and based a whole song on it!
