"It's not easy having just one girl, but I'm willing to try, yes I am"

-the Raspberries, "Every Way I Can"

"When in doubt, I whip it out. Got me a rock-n-roll band. It's a Free For All."

Ted Nugent, "Free For All"

"Will you or won't you want me to make you? I'm coming down fast so don't let me break you"
Now, Now, Paulie...

Marianne Faithfull has an interesting anecdote about witnessing Paul record the 'panting' vocal that tails off "Lovely Rita" (he was looking at her at the time, apparently).

I guess machismo entails more than libido-- inebriation and destruction, too! I'd give honors to "We're an American Band".

And oh yeah, one must not forget the seminal "Sex Farm" by Spinal Tap.

Thin Lizzy might have been the kings of the genre:

Searchlight on my trail, tonight’s the night all systems fail
Hey you good lookin’ female, come here!
-Jailbreak

You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she’d be on the floor shaking what she’d got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
-The Boys are Back in Town

I was going to call this thread "sexist lyrics" and that certainly holds for some of these. But I digress.

"Star f...er, star f...er, star f...er star f...er", etc., - "Star F...er" by the Stones.(record co. made them title it as "Star Star" on disc, Goats Head Soup)

Another Stones - " ...(blank) girls just wanna f... all night, I don't have that much jam..." "Some Girls" (Album of the same name)

I'm Gonna Do It To You, Gonna Do It,
Sweet Banana, You've Never Been Done.
Yes, I Go Like A Rabbit, Gonna Grab It,
Gonna Do It 'Til The Night Is Done.

Hi, Hi, Hi -Wings

So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues.

- Deep Purple.

I believe one of those lines was used in a James Bond film about ten years ago as well.

When I was a little boy
About the age of five
I had something in my pocket
Keep a lots of woman alive

The line I shoot
Will never miss
The way I make love to them
You know they can't resist
I'm a man
I spell it M A N

(The Muddy Waters song "Mannish Boy" is almost identical to the Bo Diddley song "I'm A Man". Bo Diddley had a chart success with this in 1955, and it seems that Chess decided to cash in by releasing a similar record. Otis Span played organ on both the original Bo Diddley recording and with Muddy Waters on the subsequent Chess recording. At the time, Bo Diddley did not seem to object - he was given a shared writing credit ("Morganfield" is Muddy Waters real name, and "McDaniel" is Bo Diddley's). But Bo Diddley later claimed sole authorship.)

"I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for" -Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders

Isn't "Starf---ers, Inc." a Nine Inch Nails song?

As for best macho rock lyrics . . . go no further than Ted Nugent. You can't beat him as far as over-the-top self-proclaimed manliness.

Yeah.
Looking much too sexy, girl
My love is on the rise

"When Your Body Talks" - Ted Nugent

Wango Tango anyone?

"lick it up"

pretty much every lyric in the song "sucking my love" by Diamond Head...good song and good band though.

Zep's "Lemon Song"- Squeeze me baby, 'til the juice runs down my leg. Or Rundgren's S.L.U.T., she may be a slut, but she looks good to me.
