Dirty Blues Songs: The Original Songs About Dicks, 1935–1954

Every song on the modern lists descends from these. In the 1930's the blues recorded songs about dicks with a frankness pop would not match for forty years, a style called hokum, and its method was the object metaphor: pick a "wiener", a "record" or a "trombone" and describe it lovingly for three minutes. Bull Moose Jackson's Big Ten Inch Record of 1952 ended up on Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic in 1975, the most successful hand-me-down in rock. The list runs oldest first.

Asked

What is a dirty blues song?
A blues or rhythm and blues record built on a sexual double entendre, usually one metaphor sustained for the whole song rather than a single line. The style was at its peak between the late 1920's and the 1950's.
What is hokum blues?
The comic, double-entendre strand of the blues, popular in the late 1920's and 1930's. Bo Carter, whose Please Warm My Weiner is on this list, was its most direct practitioner.
Was Big Ten Inch Record a blues song first?
Yes. Bull Moose Jackson recorded it for King Records in 1952; Aerosmith's 1975 version on Toys in the Attic is a cover.
