The songs of the blues and pre Elvis rock & roll sung by blacks was very dirty they just cleaned them up for radio.
The way Little Richard ORIGINALLY sang the now classic "Tutti Frutti" was:
A wop bop a loo mop, a good god damn! / Tutti frutti, loose booty / If it don’t fit, don’t force it / You can grease it, make it easy
It was an old raunchy ditty (presumably about anal sex) that they cleaned up out of necessity. The dirty original version of the song "Tutti Frutti" bears similarities to an earlier song titled "Tutti Booty", recorded by Slim and Slam in 1938. The clean lyrics mean nothing- the record company liked the catchy music and the enthusiasm with which Little Richard performed it, so they made it suitable for 1950's radio. We are better off saying FUCK as often as we want, you stupid moterfucker.
A decade or so ago I had to defend an old friend who is now departed concerning an 86ing he got at his favorite watering hole of a coffee shop.
Back when he was young in the early 20th Century there was a common cultural joshing level gag about a young mans first, well, onset of an aggressive woody. It worked ok as a rhetorical device in the 1920s, but not these days.
In this day and age of worrying about perps who prey on kids this humor is long DOA. But I documented for the staff about where this guy's cultural reference came from and he was warned and reinstated.
He had ben a full bird colonel in WW II, so he deserved a second chance anyway.
