1. Lil Nas X, “Lean On My Body”
“Lean On My Body” // Columbia // 2025
“How you at the front of the motherfuckin’ crowd with a sad face? / Fix your motherfuckin’ face.” And thus begins the Lil Nas X single, “Lean On My Body”. Montero Lamar Hill is profane and unapologetic in the spoken word intro. The boldness carries over into the verses, where Hill is aggressive as fu—. He is accompanied by an excellent musical backdrop that includes a hard-nosed beat and scintillating synths courtesy of Take A Daytrip and Jasper Harris.
Lil Nas X talks ample shit. The trash talk is legit. “You know I love you, so I say this shit with love,” he asserts in the first verse, “But please tell your fans they need to shut the fuck up.” In the same verse, he also memorably mentions his nephew beating up someone, co-signing it: “Fuck it, yeah, I said it, I condone that shit / Choke that nigga out /… Go corona on that bitch / Walk that nigga like a dog, nephew, own that bitch.” Wow… The second verse continues boldly with more ferocious rhymes: “Y’all my sons, but I might just Marvin Gaye y’all niggas.” Gah-da-yum, Lil Nas X! The chorus is more reverent, featuring gospel-infused vocals and vibes:
“Lean on my body, Lord (Amen, amen, amen)
Bring blessings on my soul (Amen, amen, amen, amen)
And when the war is over (Thank you!)
See it’s time to tell the world the war is won (Yeah).”
Notably, the kick-ass, hard-hitting beat expands in the post-chorus that follows. Going back to the ‘Christian’ sensibilities, Lil Nas X petitions to God in the outro (“Save me, Lord, they schemin’ on me / Save your love, it’s leanin’ on me”). Lil Nas X remains ‘something else’ on “Lean On My Body”. He remains polarizing.

2. Jordan Firstman, “I wanna see my friends dicks”
Secrets // Openly Gay Productions / UMG Recordings Inc. // 2025
“I wanna see my friends’ dicks out at the bar / I wanna see my friends’ dicks, don’t care if it’s hard.” So, even if it’s flaccid, Jordan Firstman wants to see it. Noted. With a title like “I wanna see my friends dicks”, little needs to be analyzed or explained. “I wanna see my friends dicks” is the second track from the actor/comedian/musician’s 2025 debut album, Secrets. The two lines excerpted from the unforgettable chorus provide context, if it was needed, that is. Firstman and producer Blake Slatkin wrote this infectious, outlandish, and risqué pop joint. Beyond co-writing, Slatkin puts in work behind the boards. Is “I wanna see my friends dicks” gay? You bet your D it is!
Yes, “I wanna see my friends dicks” is a gay sex song. There is no denying that! But take this NSFW gay pop single with a grain of salt 🧂. It is meant to be fun and carefree. See verse two:
“So go to the bathroom and fluff it up
Whatever you need to do (Mhm)
I just think, I don’t know, it could be fun and cool
To see all seven inches 📏 of you 🍆 (That’s big).”
Well, well, well! Depending on who you are, you are either laughing your ass off or clutching your pearls 😜 😳! On the bridge, fittingly, Jordan lists, and in some cases, describes his friends’ penises. “Dan’s uncut, Blake is thick / Girthy, hooded, short or long / Come on bro, show me that schlong.” Lawdy! The lyrics thrive off innuendo and, dick, duh! You won’t be able to get “I wanna see my friends dicks” out of your head. I sure can’t!

3. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, “If I Could Build My Whole World Around You”
United // Motown // 1967
“Oh, if I could build my whole world around you, darling / First, I’d put heaven by your side.” Marvin Gaye (1939 – 1984) and Tammi Terrell (1945 – 1970) made a formidable team. Tragically, Terrell succumbed to brain cancer at just 24 years old. Still, while she was alive, she and Marvin had undeniable chemistry and recorded sensational duets, including “If I Could Build My Whole World Around You”. “If I Could Build My Whole World Around You” is the third track from the duo’s beloved, gold-certified album, United. Harvey Fuqua, Johnny Bristol, and Vernon Bullock wrote it. Bristol and Fuqua produced it. “If I Could Build My Whole World Around You” impacted the pop charts, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The musical arrangement and production are outstanding! It features sickening drumming, a robust bass line, bluesy piano, fabulous rhythmic guitar riffs, and tasty vibraphone. The first voice heard is the exuberant pipes of Gaye, who sings in a dedicated fashion to his musical partner (lyrics excerpted above). Tammi Terrell delivers assertive, soulful vocals in the second verse: “If I could build my whole world around you / I’d make your eyes the morning sun / I’d put so much love where there is sorrow / I’d put joy where there’s never been none.” I love the duo’s chemistry on the “Doo doo doo doo doo” in the bridge. A great key change, and bluesy, gospel-tinged piano enters the mix in the final verse. Here, Gaye and Terrell trade lines. Both hold their own and sound phenomenal when singing together. “If I could build my whole world around you,” Gaye sings, with Terrell responding, “If I could build my whole world around ya.” Fittingly, they join forces on “And that would be all right, oh yeah.” “If I Could Build My Whole World Around You” is an unforgettable classic from a short-lived but vibrant duo.

4. Taylor Swift, “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys”
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY // Taylor Swift // 2024
“But you should’ve seen him when he first got me.” That is a statement, Taylor Swift. Things went south for ‘her boy’ on “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” the third track from THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY. As always, the Grammy-winning pop superstar delivers lyrics that capture the full attention of the ears. The first verse is poetic, concluding with the thought-provoking “Rivulets descend my plastic smile.” What is a rivulet? A small stream. Understanding what it means creates an incredibly impressive lyric. The second verse does not contain rivulets, but the “litany of reasons” is sweet, as are the concluding lines, “But first, pull the string / And I’ll tell you that he runs / Because he loves me.” Expectedly, the chorus carries weight as we hear about what Swift’s ‘boy’ does with those toys!
“My boy (My boy), only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh
I’m queen (I’m queen), of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh
‘Cause I knew too much, there was danger in the heat of my touch
He saw forever, so he smashed it up, oh, oh
My boy (My boy), only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh.”
The lyrics are thought-provoking – revelatory. Her ex-boyfriend broke things off because of commitment issues for whatever reason. Swift provides a sound vocal, while the production alongside Jack Antonoff is pleasant, though nothing game changing. Ultimately, “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” marks one of the better moments from THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY.

5. Beats By AI, “They Fingered My Stink”
“They Fingered My Stink” // Beats By Ai // 2025
“Well, I went down to Georgia / Now my booty’s out of order / Cuz I found some good ole boys and boy / They put me in a corner.” Oh, boy… What exactly transpired in that corner? After some moonshine, “They bent me over / Said that booty’s lookin’ tight / They fingered my stink…” Gah-day-um 😳! Beats By AI dropped an outlandish, NSFW country tune with “They Fingered My Stink”, which lasts just a minute and a half. That is long enough for a man to be violated by multiple men… “They Fingered My Stink” is focused on a hole – a man’s ‘enticing’ tight, pink asshole. The nameless victim of drunken, finger-banging touts the opening in his tush: “Oh lord my stink is so damn pink / And fingers love to blast that thing.” He adds, “Georgia boys especially / Wanna watch me drink and make it wink.” He warns us, “Yeah, Georgia Boys love a tight-ass stinker / And when they smell one, they warm up the fingers,” adding “So, maybe next time I should spare my cheeks / And never let a Georgia boy near my stink.” In case you live under a rock and didn’t catch the drift, post-anal sexual experiences, soreness is to be expected. Our protagonist’s butt is sore since, “they blasted my cheeks / My knees were so weak / They fingered my stink for an hour at least / I was cutting the cheese, they were loving that thing.” “They Fingered My Stink” is one of the most outlandish and unhinged songs I have heard in some time. Making this gay-ass (🤭) country record even wackier is the AI-generated cover art. The victim is frightened by those smiling Georgia Boys who are enjoying his stink far too much. Oh, brother 😶!

6. Tonio Armani, “Help Me Find My Drawls”
“Help Me Find My Drawls” // Armani Music Group // 2024
“So, I told her / If I come, I can’t stay too long.” Hmm, we know where this is going, Tonio Armani (Travis Antonio Gardner) 😏 😈. The southern soul singer/songwriter from Columbus, Georgia, continues singing on his entertaining 2024 single, “Help Me Find My Drawls”, “Soon as I get to the room / We got right down to it / We start gettin’ it on.” After getting busy with this woman who “wanna get nasty,” Armani is in search for his drawls, aka underwear. The desperation is real, y’all – he’s got to find those boxers… or briefs… whatever his preference is!
Tonio Armani ‘brings the house down’ on “Help Me Find My Drawls.” His voice is distinct from the get-go. He is gritty and raspy, oozing with soul. The throwback vibes are refreshing as he ‘puts his all’ in this sex song. Yes, they ‘do it,’ hence why he’s searching for his undies, but he refrains from being explicit or TMI. Instead, his tale of this rendezvous is only secondary, while the search for his underwear is hilarious:
“Help me find my drawls
(Help me find my drawls)
I got somewhere to be
Yes, I do, lady
Somewhere in the bedroom
Oh Lord
That’s the only place they could be.”
The southern charm and personality that Armani brings amplify the song. This is especially evident in the extended outro where he still has not found them (“Oh, you got to find my drawls today”). Making “Help Me Find My Drawls” even better is the musical backdrop, which is infused with the soul of old yet sounds vibrant and fully representative of 2020s R&B.

7. JORDY, “BREAK MY!”
SEX WITH MYSELF AND IT LASTS LONGER // JORDY / EMPIRE // 2024
“Want it rough, kinda tough, like it when you dig your nails / In love with your touch, bubble butt, happy trails.” Holy shit, JORDY! The handsome, talented gay pop artist excels at being transparent (and sexy) when it comes to music. “BREAK MY!” is another example of his horniness being utterly relatable, particularly if you identify as the G in LGBTQ 🏳️🌈. Bubble butts and happy trails? Yaas kween! In the first verse, he continues to speak sexually, chanting playfully, “From the bed to the floor, I can be your dirty whore / Kinda sore, carnivore, eat you like a carnivore.” Ooh-wee! JORDY penned “BREAK MY!” alongside Bradley Kim, Heather Sommer, and producer Mattisnotfamous. The club is lit on this sleek, naughtily produced gem. So, what exactly does JORDY want his boyfriend, friends with benefits, or whoever this guy is to break? His back! In the repetitive refrain, he encourages the back-breaking, which is the equivalent of rough sexing. Before the refrain, JORDY continues to champion fulfilling gay sex: “Do you wanna ride it? We’re only getting started /… Spread it, lick it, let’s get that exercise in.” For good measure, he’s in no rush – he wants to feel the pleasure of the pain. But, in the second verse, he desires a faster tempo and a “big crescendo, make my head lean back like limbo.” With an infectious performance, slick production, and ear-catching, effects-laden vocals, “BREAK MY!” is a mean-sounding, must-hear, unapologetically gay sex song that’ll easily have you beaming with pride and make you horny as fuq.

8. Elton John & Kiki Dee, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”
Rock Of The Westies // Mercury // 1975
“Don’t go breaking my heart,” Elton John (1947 – ) sings in the first verse of his classic, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”. His duet partner, Kiki Dee (1947 – ), responds, “You take the weight off of me.” Word. Once more, both talented singers trade lines: “Oh, honey, when you knocked on my door / Ooh, I gave you my key.” “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” is the 10th and final cut on John’s 1975, platinum-certified album, Rock Of The Westies. One of his biggest hits, it spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was certified double platinum by the RIAA. It was nominated for the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance By A Duo, Group Or Chorus at the 19th Annual Grammy Awards (1976). Elton John composed the music, while his longtime partner in crime, Bernie Taupin (1950 – ) composed the lyrics. Gus Dudgeon produced it.
To reiterate, both Elton John and Kiki Dee ‘bring it’ in the vocal department. They sing superbly separately, and ‘strike gold’ when they sing together. Beyond the playful verses, the two sections that shine brightest are the pre-chorus and the chorus. “Ooh, nobody knows it / When I was down, I was your clown,” they sing, respectively, continuing, “Ooh, nobody knows it (Nobody knows it) / Right from the start, I gave you my heart / Oh, I gave you my heart.” Of course, the centerpiece is the chorus, in all its catchy, titular glory!
“Don’t go breaking my heart
I won’t go breaking your heart
Don’t go breaking my heart.”
Beyond the singing and songwriting, the music is ear-catching. The orchestration, particularly the strings, is lovely. The production is well-rounded. The tightness of the rhythm section is a selling point (drums, percussion, bass, and guitar). Ultimately, Elton John and Kiki Dee made a duet for the ages with “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”.

9. The Lonely Island, “Jizz In My Pants”
Incredibad // Universal Republic // 2009
“Our lips first touch outside your doors / A whole night, what we’ve got in store / Whisper in my ear that you want some more / And I — / Jizzed in my pants.” Oh yes, actor and comedian extraordinaire Andy Samberg ‘went there’ on “Jizz In My Pants”. There are more reasonable definitions for jizz, such as to ejaculate (verb) and semen (noun), but Urban Dictionary always provides more colorful, vulgar definitions, like “The white shit that comes out your little meat package when you beat it too hard” and “When a guy shoots white sticky love juice out of his dick.” To be fair, all of the jizzing isn’t solely shouldered by Samberg on “Jizz In My Pants.” This is a collective effort by comedy trio The Lonely Island, comprised of Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer. This wacky, weird, NSFW song where the guys tackle losing control and ‘letting it erupt’ is one of many highlights from the trio’s 2009 album, Incredibad. It’s giving Mount Vesuvius!
So, what is the seminal experience (🤭) like for Samberg’s colleague, Jorma? At the grocery store, Taccone raps, “Never felt that I could feel real again / But the look in her eyes said, ‘I need a friend’ / She turned to me, that’s when she said it / Looked me dead in the face, asked ‘Cash or credit?’ / And I— / Jizzed in my pants.” That is an interesting reason to… release. In the third verse, Samberg returns, with lots of reasons cause him to jizz in his pants. They include “Checked my phone and saw you rang” and “When Bruce Willis was dead at the end of Sixth Sense.” Ain’t that some, jizz? In the choruses, they point fingers at the perpetrators of their uncontrollable bodily fluids. From Samberg’s perspective (after verse one), “You were rubbing my butt.” For Taccone (after verse two), it was the cashier’s flirting and “the way you bag cans got me bothered and hot.” Damn! Besides the messiness listening to “Jizz In My Pants” the music video is something else. The Lonely Island’s facial expressions are a sight to behold. A song that should be taken with a grain of salt, more than 15 years after its arrival, this sticky cut remains comical, ludicrous, and highly entertaining.

10. American Authors, “Best Day Of My Life”
Oh, What A Life // The Island Def Jam Music Group // 2014
“I had a dream so big and loud / I jumped so high, I touched the clouds / Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh…” And so, begins the one-hit-wonder extraordinaire, “Best Day Of My Life”. “Best Day Of My Life” is the third track from American Authors’ 2014, gold-certified album, Oh, What A Life. The bubbly and infectious pop/rock cut is their only song that charted on the pop charts. A rousing success, it peaked at no. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified multiplatinum by the RIAA. “Best Day Of My Life” features six songwriters: Band members Dave Rublin (bass), James Adam Shelley (banjo), Matt Sanchez (drums), Zac Barnett (vocals and guitar), and producers Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta.
“Best Day Of My Life” is sweet from the get-go. Incredibly groovy, the rhythm is constant. Besides the brightness of the instrumental, the vocals are enthusiastic, joyful, and irresistible. The playful lyrics are one of the biggest selling points, including the sing-along-able, recurrent “Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh…” In the first verse, Zach Barnett adds, “I stretched my hands out to the sky / We danced with monsters through the night.” In the second, he cites, “All the possibilities / No limits, just epiphanies.” Word. The centerpiece is the unforgettable chorus in all of its glory:
“(Woo, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) This is gonna be the best day of my life
(Woo, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) My li-i-i-i-i-i-ife
(Woo, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) This is gonna be the best day of my life
(Woo, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) My li-i-i-i-i-i-ife.”
“Best Day Of My Life” is American Authors’ sole hit, but it greatly enhanced the graduation soundtrack.

11. Cheryl Pepsii Riley, “Thanks for My Child”
Me, Myself and I // Sony Music Entertainment Inc. // 1988
“You came into my life / You just made everything right / And even though / My man has left me behind / I don’t regret a thing for having you.” The you that R&B singer and actress Cheryl Pepsii Riley references is a child. The child is the center of her touching 1988 single, “Thanks for My Child”. The song does not reflect Riley’s experience, but she sings it so authentically, honestly, and tenderly that you buy every word she sings. She sells it brilliantly. “Thanks for My Child” is the second track from her debut album, Me, Myself and I. Who was the force behind the songwriting and production of this touching ballad? Full Force penned and produced this late 80s gem that peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the R&B charts.
“Thanks for My Child” features a cool and smooth production. The sound exemplifies late 1980s R&B. The palette includes synthesized sounds (including strings) courtesy of keys, pads, and synths. Throughout, there a sweet musical riffs and motives. The main attraction is Cheryl Pepsii Riley, who gives an authentic, beautiful, and honest performance. Her sincerity is a key reason why this song is so successful. Beyond her lead, Riley receives great reinforcement from background vocals. “You make my life worth singing a song / With You,” she sings, adding, “Right here with me / I’ll have the strength to go on.” Aww 🥰! The melodies are tuneful, particularly in the centerpiece, the heart-wrenching chorus:
“Thanks for my child
I’m really thanking You
The man above
Thanks for my child
You brought me so much joy
This bundle of love.”
Another feature that shines is the child’s sounds, which add to the authenticity and allure. The bridge distinguishes itself from the verses and chorus, where Riley sings, “I understand your language / Your baby talk / You forgot to crawl / Before you walked.” The maternal perspective of “Thanks for My Child” is the biggest thing that makes it truly fantastic. Despite a bad situation – “Papa can’t preach / Papa was a rolling stone / Because he left his beautiful / Cause he left us all alone” – the mother is blessed and thankful for this beautiful child. Cheryl Pepsii Riley put her foot into this classic, which deserved even more recognition.

12. Whitney Houston, “You’re Still My Man”
Whitney // Arista // 1987
“On the day that you left me / You said no regrets / There’s a bond between us / That hasn’t been broken yet.” Those matters of the heart always fuel the fire for a wonderful musical selection. Once-in-a-lifetime vocalist Whitney Houston sang the wonderful “You’re Still My Man” on her 1987 tour de force, Whitney. The soaring ballad is the eighth track from the Grammy-nominated LP (“I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” won a Grammy, FYI). “You’re Still My Man” was written by Gerry Goffin and Michael Masser. Houston thrives on this ambitious, big, and beautiful ballad.
“You’re Still My Man” wasn’t one of the 40 songs that Houston charted on the Billboard Hot 100. It is, however, a solid album track from Whitney that deserves even more love. Broken up from ‘her man,’ per Houston, and the unforgettable chorus, “You’re still my man / Nothing can change it / We still be long together.” Ooh-wee! She goes on to add, “Our love will last forever.” With a second verse continuing to tout their bond and a bridge where she vows, “I’ll wait for you / The thought that keeps me going each day / Is to believe you still love me,” her bread is its most buttery in the final choruses. Here, Whitney navigates some epic key changes, showcasing the power and versatility of her pipes. The ad-libs are epic. Listening, I’m in sheer awe that someone possessed the ability to sing so celestially and perfectly. Like the big singles from Whitney, “You’re Still My Man” deserves its flowers too.

13. Bessie Smith, “Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl”
The Best of Bessie Smith // Sony Music Entertainment // 2015
“Tired of bein’ lonely, tired of bein’ blue / I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to.” That’s understandable, Bessie Smith (1894? – 1937). Those lyrics aren’t scandalous from her 1931 song, “Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl”. Originally recorded by Smith, this blues classic was written by Tim Brymn, Dally Small, and Clarence Williams. Smith is accompanied by piano. She ‘brings her A Game,’ performing with her beloved, commanding, and robust vocals. Her performance is playful in this flirty sex song. So, where is the sex, you ask? Yes, early on, Smith states she desires a man to cure her loneliness, but she doesn’t get graphic about it. That, my friends, is only the ‘tip’ of the iceberg 🤭. Even though the singer seeks emotional fulfillment from a partner, “Sugar” still has its fair share of naughty moments. The desire for physical fulfillment is evident, and the sexual innuendo is lit. “I need a little sugar in my bowl / I need a little hot dog between my rolls,” Smith sings, continuing, “You gettin’ different, I’ve been told / Move your finger, drop something in my bowl.” The bowl 🥣 that Smith is talking about is not found in the kitchen… it’s anatomical 😈. Furthermore, that “little hot dog” 🌭 isn’t stored in the refrigerator 😈 🍆. She wants it, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what it is!
“I need a little steam-heat on my floor
Maybe I can fix things up, so they’ll go
Get off your knees, I can’t see what you’re drivin’ at
It’s dark down there looks like a snake!”
Da-yum! “Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl” is double entendre at its finest. Dirty blues exemplified!
