…this song's a lot. Written 1977 for the likes of Elvis Presley to play, the song's about a man making advances on a woman who doesn't seem very interested. Presley died before Bruce's tape made its way to him, but the song was a hit with The Pointer Sisters who make the song a bit more fun by having women singing it.
Hard to talk about how horny this one is due to its subject matter, but Bruce's vocals ooooze desire.
"First time I crossed my heart, I was begging baby please
At your bedside down on my knees."
One theme you'll see a few times is the incorporation of eating out women in his lyrics. This one's covert but couldn't be much else.
"I was lyin' there with something sweet and salty in my mouth" that man's getting sat on.
"Where the night gets sticky and the sky turns black,
And we crossed our hearts"
8. Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)
"The only lover I'm ever gonna need's your soft sweet little girl's tongue."
What's more important than some silly/horny lyrics are the antics between Springsteen and Clarence Clemons on stage during this song. I'm talking everything from some very homoerotic hanging out to straight up kissing before the final chorus. This is The Clemonsteen song.
Fun horny Bruce singing about makin' love in the back of his pink Cadillac, crushed velvet seats, ridin' in the back, oozing down the street…
The newest song on this list, courtesy of a 70-year old Bruce showing he's still got it. What's it, you say? Desire.
"I ran my fingers 'cross the hollow of your stomach as you lay breathing" is in my opinion THE horniest lyric Springsteen's ever written.
No amount of lyrics could capture how this song is Bruce confessing his love for another man. "Hiding on the backstreets" is an analogy for having to hide your love. Talk about "juke joints and […] drag". "Blame it on the lies that killed us" this was five years before the AIDS crisis. DO YOU HEAR ME.
I'm gonna cry. "Catching rides to the outskirts, tying faith between our teeth. Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house, getting wasted in the heat and… hiding on the backstreets."
"I'll kiss you in places other men ain't even heard about"
"From your pretty red lips down to your knees"
"I'll have you purring like a kitty and runnin' like a clock"
"You want a little of the spit-and shine,
Call the detail man and you're mine."
Part 2 of Bruce eating out women.
There's only one word I can use to describe this. Desire.
Does it deserve #3? Debatable. But it's my list.
Look I frequent the #bruce springsteen tag on Tumblr. Every single day there's someone posting "Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my skull". This song is way too well-known to need explaining. It's his second horniest song.
Reno: By FAAAAARRRRRRR his most sexual song but he just wants to go home. There's no horniness in this song. Not one bit.
Part Man, Part Monkey: Number 11. Couldn't quite cut it.
"Well, listen up stud your life's been wasted 'til you
Got down on your knees and tasted a red-headed woman"
