“You’ve Never Been This Far Before,” Conway TwittyĬonway Twitty was known for being a smooth talker and a womanizer, but there’s no denying that those candy-coated vocal cords made plenty of women weak in the knees when he was at his peak. Either way, we’ve rounded up the ten raunchiest songs in country music history.ġ0.
Others, if your parents had any sense, you didn’t hear until much later in life. Some of these tracks are songs you’ll remember singing nostalgically in your childhood without any clue what the hell they were about. In fact, there is an entire subgenre called “Dirty Country,” dedicated to the raunchiest, dirtiest songs that you can imagine, but we’re talking about those mainstream hits that somehow managed to slip past the censors with creative double entendre and subtle references to sex. To put it bluntly, country music is no stranger to talking about fucking, dating back to before the 1970s, even if the genre has been able to fly under the censors’ radar much more so than, say, hip-hop or rock music. Which means that country songwriters had to get creative, layering tracks with subtle (and not-so-subtle) sexual innuendo. You don’t get the reputation as the “God, guns and beer” crowd without keeping it, for the most part, clean.
Country music has a reputation as a pretty strait-laced genre.
