The Complete List of Songs About Masturbation

Sometimes, when blogging inspiration just isn’t whacking you in the face, it helps to engage in little intellectual games that you play with yourself. Like coming up with lists. Like coming up with lists of songs about masturbation.

Here is a list of songs that are all about wanking. There are other lists (see also) out there, but many are only top tens, or have a hundred songs with artists you’ve never heard of shoving in a single line about jerkin’ the gherkin’ or butterin’ the muffin. I want this to be a complete list of songs dedicated to chocking the chicken or slamming the clam.

Notable pattern: if you know someone with the name Billy, he’s probably dancing with himself right now. Billies make one-eye cry more than any other name.

Also, shout out to Pink, who has two entries, nailing both male and female masturbation.

    I used to sing Green Day's Longview at karaoke. Every once in awhile someone would come up to me after I sang it and get really quiet and say “you do know that song is about masturbation, right?”

    Sis & Morrissey House: Thanks! I'll take a look at those.

    Katrina: Flagpole Sitta is questionable, but I'll consider it. 🙂 And check out Thunderheist.

    Rick: Hahah. That one is pretty explicit. It would be hard to sing the lyrics “when masturbation's lost its fun you're fucking lazy” without, you know, seeing the masturbation part.

    Anon: That was in there but somehow out of alphabetical order. Thanks!

    “Pink” has a song about masturbation (“U and Ur Hand”). Though it's blatantly about masturbation, no creative thinking required, like some on your list.

    Also, you ruined several song I used to be able to listen to with my mother in the car, now not so much. Thanks douche.
