10 'innocent' songs you may not have known are actually about sex

The hidden meanings in seemingly virtuous tunes

A bit of how's your father, bumping uglies, the beast with two backs, doing the horizontal bop. Nope, we're not speaking in tongues, we're talking about one of the most important things on this earth - sex.

Here are 10 songs that seem innocent on the face of it - but are actually kinda dirty. You'll never listen to these tracks in the same way again
