Lyrics, videos and fun reviews of 10 rock songs from Kiss, Poison, Def Leppard, Jace Everett, Kid Rock, Bryan Adams, Jon Bon Jovi,
Cherry Pie is as good as it gets for a rock song. It is just “ swingin’ ”
“Well swinging on the front porch
Swinging on the lawn
Swinging where we want
cause there aint nobody home
Swingin’ to the left and
Swingin’ to the right
I think about baseball
I’ll swing all night, yeah
Yeah, yeah – huh!”
It just doesn’t get more fun that. Confession: I love this song even more when I die my hair red.
I am a rock chick. It’s not like it is news.
* Jace Everett, Bad Things
When I heard this song in the opening credits of TV Show True Blood’s, I was hooked. Very bad things happen on the show in deed. Vampires, lust,sex, love and more sex. Yeah, there are country elements in the song but the rock is more dominant. Plus, isn’t this song too..hot to be country? I blame the vocals…

“When you came in the air went out.
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
I don’t know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.”
* Poison, I want action tonight
Poison has never been a subtle band. And that’s why I like them.
Well, I dance to this song. It is also perfect before going out.
Poison members want long-legged chicks with short skirts. I want long-haired sexy rockers. Sounds about right. Yeah, I still like rockers. Too 80s? I don’t digg make up or funny leggings. But a musician should look like a musician. Did you ever pay attention Bon Jovi guitarist never cut his hair too short? I support that, Rich!
“Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts
I can’t wait to get my hands on them
I won’t give up ’til they give in”
“Now I’m not lookin’ for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I can’t have her, I’ll take her and make her”
* Bryan Adams, The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You
Don’t let the fashion mode fool on you. I’m pretty sure Bryan isn’t talking about Versace when he says “you”
“The only thing I want, The only thing I need
The only thing I choose, The only thing that looks good on me…is you”
The song was so much fun when I was singing it along with thousands, pointing to Bryan while he was pointing at us. Good times.
* Kiss, Lick It Up
Obviously some bands are naughtier than others. As my friend reminded me the song
“Don’t wanna wait ’til you know me better
Let’s just be glad for the time together
Life’s such a treat and it’s time you taste it
There ain’t a reason on earth to waste it
It ain’t a crime to be good to yourself
Lick it up, lick it up, it’s only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah”
What? Kiss ain’t always subtle ,folks!

I’ll always remember that video by Def Leppard. I had no idea what the song was about but boy it made me feel good – now I know why LOL;) Excellent selection and personal review of “10 Dirty Rock Songs” Zoey:)

Thanks a lot, Mila : ) Actually this one is the sequel. You should also check out the one on my blog: http://pinartarhan.com/blog/10-great-rock-n-roll-songs-all-about-sex/
I still have a few others I haven’t mentioned so a third is on the way. What can I say? Rock is never out of songs of mischief ; )

I guess it’s because I am a dude, but these songs don’t do any thing for me!! except Kiss’ “I was made for loving you.” it takes me back to when I was a Kiss crazy Kid ( that’s what my Mom called me) and saw that video!!

Ha ha. Well, maybe. But what they are supposed to do is to make you want to dance ; )

Toe tapping, head banging impressions all round for a damn good review and opinion of what for the most part is musical wishful thinking from testosterone filled musicians. Each one of these is fun in it’s own way. More than one I’d never heard, but enjoyed nonetheles. I really good tongue in cheek look at the subject Zoe.

Queen of New Orleans is one of my favorite tunes from Bon Jovi. He has so many good ones, I just really like that one. And of course, Kiss, Poison and Aerosmith…. well, they rock and are a little dirty, lol. Great post, Zoey.

@Richard: Thanks. A little dirty is always great for dancing;)
