Grand Funk Railroad. Shoulda been No.1

We’re an American band. The title. Big and bold and proud!
Sweet, sweet Connie, doin’ her act
She had the whole show and that’s a natural fact
Dont forget the 4 Chaquitas from Omaha who was out to meet the boys in the band.
~This entire song is misogynistic in every verse as well as the theme of the song and the Title.

ELP, Carn Evil #9

“Performing on a stool we’ve a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule keep it cool, keep it cool

The Doors:

“Build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
Build me a woman,
Make her ten feet tall.
Don’t make her worthless,
Don’t make her small.
Build me someone I can ball
All night long.”

RUSH “Need Some Love”

Note - This song was from their first album. The drummer at the time had written lyrics, but tore them up right before the 2-hour recording session that they had (for the entire album!) So the lyrics for the album were written in haste (some the day of recording). Thankfully the group found a new drummer who loved to write!

Well I been hustlin’ here,
I been hustlin’ there.
I been searchin’ for about a week.
And I started feelin’
this strange sensation.
My knees are startin’ gettin’ weak.

Well I need what keeps
a young man alive;
I’m sayin’ I need it now.
I’m gonna get the message
across to you
someway, somehow.

Oo, I need some love.
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love
This feelin’ I can’t rise above.
Oo, yeah yeah!

How about “Slide It In” by Whitesnake? He missed that one.
