10 Most Unsubtle Rock Music Innuendos

10. Love Gun - Kiss (1977)

There was a time when Kiss ruled the world of arena rock. Since the group's forming in 1973 they've sold over 75 million records worldwide. The key to their success? Power chords, goofy outfits and songs about sex.

The music of Kiss was about having a good time all the time. When the appetite for fast cars, booze and substances abated, the obvious place to turn was carnal satisfaction. Paul Stanley's lyrics didn't often stray far from bringing that most intimate of human interactions into the spotlight. As a result, the group have never been shy about pumping less than imaginative innuendos into their music.

Although there are many Kiss songs to choose from, the most obvious and blatant is Love Gun. It's a pretty bold move to name a song, and indeed a whole album, after a euphemism for Paul Stanley's package. Remember, during the '70s and '80s the more 'respectable' members of society were terrified rock music would corrupt young minds with devil worship and sexual liberation. Maybe this one flew over their heads, but if you listen to the song there's no mistaking what he's on about it. We'll leave you with this summary, from the great Seann William Scott.
