Ella Fitzgerald

Sometimes a song you hear for the first time, is innocent and sweet sounding. Then you listen closer to the lyrics, and realize it's talking about stuff you didn't realize. Double-entendres help disguise the filthiest of songs.

Ella Fitzgerald's, "Love For Sale"

The dirty Lyrics:

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that`s fresh and still unspoiled
Love that`s only slightly soiled

Love for sale
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who`s prepared to pay the price
For a trip to paradise?

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
If you want to buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale

Why They're dirty:

This was written by Cole Porter in the 40s, and it's about prostitution. And they think we're the deviants.

Ella Fitzgerald's, "Santa Claus Got Stuck In My Chimney"

The dirty Lyrics:

Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney

Why They're dirty:

Younger generations of kids won't understand the meaning of the song, but the word "chimney" is actually a 1950's euphemism for vagina. That song is also about someone having intercourse with a female partner.
