Real Lyrics -> Dirty Songs You Didn't Know Were Dirty -> Donovan
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.

Donovan's, "Lalena"
The dirty Lyrics:
When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
But that's your lot in life, Lalena.
That's the time you raise your head
But that's your lot in life, Lalena.
Why They're dirty:
With these lyrics and others throughout the song as clues, it doesn't take a genius to figure out just what Lalena's 'lot in life' is; she's a prostitute. Fortunately, Donovan does such a good job of not being explicit that he makes this song sound so innocuous.

Donovan's, "Mellow Yellow"
The dirty Lyrics:
Electrical banana Is gonna be a sudden craze
Why They're dirty:
I first heard that song when I was a teen, and I didn't know what that means. An 'electrical banana' was a vibrator, that is shaped like a penis.

Donovan's, "Pee Song"
The dirty Lyrics:
How much of a pee do you wee?
When you're little and you're only three
Can you wiggle and wash
Does it tickle and splotch
Can you do like a dog on a tree?
When you're little and you're only three
Can you wiggle and wash
Does it tickle and splotch
Can you do like a dog on a tree?
Why They're dirty:
the lyrics say it all, this was on an album for kids!
