Editing Double entendre (section)

=== Music ===

There is a long tradition of double entendre songs in American blues music of the 1920s and 1930s, called [[hokum]].

Double entendres are very common in the titles and lyrics of pop songs, such as "[[If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me]]" by The Bellamy Brothers. By one interpretation, the person being talked to is asked if they would be offended; by the other interpretation, they are asked if they would press their body against the person doing the talking.<ref>{{Cite web|date=March 3, 2011|first1=Colleen|last1=O'Quinn|title=Don't Hold It Against Me|url=https://xlcountry.com/dont-hold-it-against-me/|access-date=2021-05-10|website=XL Country 100.7|language=en}}</ref>

Singer and songwriter [[Bob Dylan]], in his somewhat controversial song "[[Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35]]," repeats the line "Everybody must get stoned." In context, the phrase refers to the punishment of [[capital punishment|execution]] by [[stoning]], but on another level it means to "get stoned," a common slang term for being high on [[cannabis (drug)|cannabis]]. In their song "Big Balls" on the album ''[[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]]'', [[AC/DC]] the chorus "we've got big balls" can be read as referring to either [[ball (dance)|formal dances]] or [[testicle]]s.  During the 1940s, [[Benny Bell]] recorded several "party records" that contained double entendre including "Everybody Wants My Fanny."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2010-04-26|title=The ballad of Benny Bell and his novelty songs|url=https://www.nj.com/insidejersey/2010/04/the_ballad_of_benny_bell.html|access-date=2021-05-10|website=nj|language=en}}</ref>
