Austin Burke, Wet Dream | Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥

In the 69^th edition of Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥 (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Wet Dream” by Austin Burke.

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot 🥵 at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. We are talking about that after-dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 69^th edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Wet Dream” by Austin Burke.

“Sometimes it just happens, and sometimes it don’t / I never see it coming, it’s out of my control.” The keyword is coming, and perhaps, the spelling should be changed 🤭. Country musician Austin Burke had a wet moment with his satirical song, “Wet Dream”. Although quite sticky and messy, Burke’s potent load yielded millions of streams 😉. “Wet Dream,” which was written by Burke, Joe Fox, and Zack Dyer (only dudes could write this), features clever, humorous, and memorable lyrics.  While “Wet Dreams” isn’t explicit per se, you still don’t want to play this suggestive song anywhere.  There should be no shame in wet dreams but, it’s still a personal, private matter.

Anatomically, Burke is correct when he asserts in the first verse, “It’s out of my control.” There are ways to reduce nightfall per Man Matters (IYKYK). In the second verse, Austin keeps it sexy. Fishing references are thrown in, too: “The sun was settin’, I was moonlight fishin’ / My two-stroke was burning nocturnal emissions / I motor-boated through the big ol’ buoys on the bay.” Damn… what can you say to that? The chorus is truly something else:

“‘Cause I had a wet dream, just me and my dingy

Out on the water with that old bobber sinking

Cold can in my left, my rod in my right

I ain’t ever pulled bass like that in my life

I was somewhere on a lake happy as can be

Damn, now all I am is just a mess in the sheets

I had a wet dream, ooh yeah.”

As silly as “Wet Dream” is, Austin Burke shines. He ‘does the damn thing’ as they say. His voice is distinct, and he sells the satire authentically.  The backdrop is ‘country’ to the nth degree.  The only rub? Most country songs aren’t about that type of seamen or shooting. “And if she asks I’ma tell my girlfriend she was in it…”
