Risqué Record Riot

[Pogo]

There's just too many of these, I can't believe there's not a thread already but there should be.

I suzpect mostly this will be older songs where the art of double entendre was a higher art. Would prefer the original tune to re-makes.

We'll start off with Bull Moose Jackson, from 1952:

ZZ Top - Tube Snake Boogie (original version) - YouTube

I always thought that was "tube steak" -
Maybe that belongs in the misheard lyrics thread...

I remember when that tune was out, me and my GF walking through the grocery store with her asking in a loud voice, "WHAT'S A TUBE STEAK??"

I'm famous for doing that with songs. I also used to think it was tube steak, like an Italian sausage.

I was elated to find this record for 50¢ in a Massachusetts thrift store.

Ah, it was only a matter of time before we saw Bo Carter, known as the "master of the single entendre"
