This is Chubby Checker. In 2013, he was forced to sue a leading IT company for promoting an app that used his name as a euphemism for measuring the size of one's manhood. The app was withdrawn.
Here are 15 songs that could well be euphemisms for nookie.
15. Danced for Patrick Hernandez.
Before she became famous, she was a backing singer and dancer for the French disco star.
14. Scotland bar vandal gets his comeuppance.
"Scotland bar vandal" was an anagram.
Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight
If you've never seen the video before, I urge you to give it a click. These days, we're so used to seeing pop stars singing about sex... but these guys look so wholesome, surely they were waiting till they were married?
13. Dustbin Wagon Americano.
Dustin Wagons are made by Dennis. An Americano is a coffee.
12. Slow horse is such a sweetie.
Have you watched Slow Horses yet? If not, you don't know what you're missing. Gary Oldman plays Jackson Lamb... and he's luscious!
That might be a song about carpets. I'm not sure.
11. That time Elton came back and stayed.
(Elton) John and Paul Young, who sang Come Back And Stay.
John Paul Young - I Wanna Do It With You
10. Droopy-nosed flock.
Flight of the Conchords - Business Time
9. Live with Mr. Las Vegas, on the loo.
Liv' is short for Olivia. Mr. Las Vegas was Wayne Newton. A loo is a John.
8. We're all lost inside Grampa's Telstar obsession.
Grampa's Telstar obsession
7. Needs an A to boogie.
That's what the young people are calling it these days, apparently.
6. Sounds like a video game, second prize on the Golden Shot.
The video game would be Sega. Second prize on the Golden Shot might be the Silver Bullet.
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Night Moves
Worth watching that video for an early appearance by Joey from Friends.
Or, a little less subtle...
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - The Horizontal Bop
5. Rebel Without A Chris.
James Dean was a Rebel Without A Cause. Chris Martin, without the Chris, would be...
Dean Martin - Wham! Bam! Thank You, Ma'am!
4. Nike, round the bend.
Nike Air, but curved.
3. Wayne.
2. Found washed up on Liberty Shores.
"Liberty Shores" was an anagram.
