Dürty Needlëz Presents & Anitta Leye, Lube It Up Buttercup | Spicy Tunez

In the 23^rd edition of Spicy Tunez (2026), we explore the eyebrow-raising, naughty, sexed-up vibes behind “Lube It Up Buttercup” by Dürty Needlëz Presents & Anitta Leye. 

Aww, shee-it! Prepare to be shooketh! Spicy Tunez is a column filled with naughty, sometimes controversial, and NSFW songs 👀.  Some songs merely dabble in innuendo and suggestiveness.  Others, however, go whole-hog and embrace a give-no-fucks aesthetic, thrive on sexual endeavors, utter shock value, and sometimes find themselves firmly embroiled in censorship… DUN, DUN, DUN! Spicy Tunez consolidates those Controversial Songs and that piping hot, sensually charged Midnight Heat. In the 23^rd edition of Spicy Tunez (2026), we explore the eyebrow-raising, naughty, sexed-up vibes behind “Lube It Up Buttercup” by Dürty Needlëz Presents and Anitta Leye.

Ooh-la-la! Shout out Dürty Needlëz Presents, who is ‘recovering lost vinyl of yesteryear.’ In the description from their YouTube channel, they add, ‘DürtyNeedlëz, bringing to life those bands that were banned or lost before they had a chance. Often seeing into the future, with AI technology, parodying those dreams that never saw light.” The keyword: AI. Dürty Needlëz collaborates with Anitta Leye on the bold “Lube It Up Buttercup”, described as ‘The most scandalously banned Motown gem of the late ‘60s.’  Clearly, it’s hard to believe that something like “Lube It Up Buttercup” was ever recorded back in the day… If Annita Leye and Diana Ross were contemporaries, it is clear Ms. Leye was much more unapologetic 😳. Of course, we know there is no Anitta Leye, nor was “Lube It Up Buttercup” recorded in the 1960s 😏. But, AI, pardon my French, can create some crazy shit, hence, “Lube It Up Buttercup.”

“Lube It Up Buttercup” begins with a confident riff from the drums. BOOM! The sound of the record is soulful, drenched in old-school vibes.  This 2026 song doesn’t sound like an anachronism: it’s refreshing. The 1960s feel like the inspiration, dipping into retro-soul/pop and soul-infused pop.  Anitta Leye excels over the brassy, major-key musical accompaniment as the focus is P-L-E-A-S-U-R-E.  Dürty Needlëz describes it “Lube It Up Buttercup” as follows:

This silky-smooth, pleading soul ballad was recorded in 1968 as a steamy answer to The Foundations’ innocent “Build Me Up Buttercup”—until Motown execs heard the chorus and hit the panic button. Anitta Leye, the sultry Detroit diva with a voice like melted chocolate, turns the classic melody into an explicit anal anthem: “So lube it up, Buttercup, baby / Just let me feel you tonight… Take my ass tonight!”

So, there you have it. “Lube It Up Buttercup” is about anal sex… Woo! “Take my ass tonight / I want you more than anyone, darling,” Leye sings, and confirms, “You’ve had my heart from the start / So, lube it up.” Leye’s vocals are energetic and enthusiastic, while the lyrics are risqué, NSFW, and filled with backdoor desire (“Slide in slow… let me feel everything”) 🫢.  Depth is not the modus operandi, but deep penetration, via the other hole, is 😈! As the song progresses, Leye’s vocals grow more dynamic.  “I’ll moan loud, pull you in deep,” Leye sings, and later adds, “Don’t leave me wanting, baby / Come on and take that ride.” One thing’s for sure, you don’t doubt her authenticity or sincerity – “Lube It Up Buttercup”. It’s best to take this song with a grain of salt.
