Big Balls by AC/DC (1976)

Strictly, this is a song about the anatomy next door. Bon Scott adopts a plummy upper-class accent and plays a socialite who throws the finest "balls" in high society, dress balls, masked balls, charity balls, and the joke is that every single line also describes his testicles. He keeps this up for two and a half minutes without once breaking character, which is the discipline that separates a great double entendre from a cheap one.

It lives on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, the 1976 album that also gave the world the title track and Problem Child, and it is the record's comic relief. Angus and Malcolm Young keep the riff clipped and formal, almost a mock waltz, so the music is in on the aristocrat bit too, like a string quartet that has read the lyrics. The final verse drops the pretence for one line and dives straight back into it.

Its afterlife is the most-played record of its kind in the world: a rock-radio staple nearly fifty years on, and the most searched lyric on this list, with about 2,400 people a month in the United States looking up the words to a song whose words are mostly "balls". The testicles are, technically, adjacent, which is why the bar for this list says male genitalia and not just the one.
