Mainstream kinkophiles?

I was flipping through the songs of my mp3 player while on vacation and happened upon the Creed song "Bound and Tied"...and that got me thinking.....and of course I had to do the research....and I came up with a list of mainstream artists who have songs with BDSM themes.

Now I know this sort of list has been done before, but for me, it was a sort of spanko scavenger hunt, so I spent an afternoon searching for artists that I think are kinky, based on ther lyrics. If you have these songs on your "kink playlist" already, or if you think I am just a desperate spanko looking for my kink in even the most mundane, feel free to ignore this post and my spanko musical indulgence. :)

This is my mainstream kinkophile list. I think these artists are kinky based on some of their lyrics, so I made a list of songs, and in some cases I included lyrics to support my kinkster theory.

Dave Matthews
Crash into me

And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted
The way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
Into me

~I thought this was a no brainer, but some of my vanilla friends have some of their own theories as to what this song is about. "Tied up and twisted, the way I'd like to be"? errr....it screams bondage to me.....but hey, who knows?


Creed
Bound and Tied


Bound and tied,
bound and tied
you're bound and tied.

~Need I say more?


Tori Amos
Crucify
Leather
Pandora's Aquarium

~I dont have lyrics for these songs....you will have to find them on your own.


Sarah Mclachlan
Posession
Sweet Surrender

Ice
I think you worried for me then
The subtle ways that
I'd give in but I know
You liked the show
Tied down to this bed of shame
You tried to move around the pain but oh
Your soul is anchored

~Pain? Tied down? could be metaphorical.........

Rolling Stones
Tie me up

Don't hurt me, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me
Why so divine the pain of love
That's what they call it: the pain of love
Tie me up, tie me up, tie me up, tie me up
Why do divine, the pain of love

~Gotta love the Stones :)

Portishead
All Mine

Maroon 5
Harder to breathe

Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold

~I dunno.....this always makes me feel all squirmy spanko when I hear it.......

Ashlee simpson
You make me want to la la

You can dress me up in diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts

~She can't sing, but I do love the line "I like it better when it hurts" :) I wonder what Jessica thinks? Although, to be honest, I think Jessica is a closet spanko and Nick is as well. I have a feeling he whacks her on a regular basis. I know I would and I am not even a switch.....

Puddle of Mudd
Control

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

~No subtlety here :)

Garbage
I think I'm paranoid

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me
Break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

~Sometimes she sounds like a Top, a scary one at that, and other times she sounds like a bottom.....

Goo Goo Dolls
Slave Girl

Liz Phair
Johnny Feelgood

And I've never met a man
I was so crazy about
It kinda has become an obsession to me
I hate him all the time
But I still get up
When he knocks me down
And he orders me around 'cause it loosens me up
And I can't get enough
And I'd pay to spend the night with him some more
And I liked it
Let me tell you
I liked it more and more
I liked it
I liked it, yeah
I really liked it

U2
Vertigo

All this, all this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one gets hurt

Hello, Hello Hola!
I'm at a place called Vertigo
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something I can feel
You're teaching me ...aaahhh
Your love is teaching me ...aaaah
How to kneel
Kneel

~Okay....maybe I am grasping at straws here....come to think of it.....maybe I just need to be spanked :)
