Pop music is infamously built on innuendos and double entendre. Few straight-up sex songs make the cut when it comes to censorship, so the writers have to come up with clever ways to hide the true meaning of their offerings. 

That’s how we end up with seemingly-innocent songs that only reveal their wild side when we get older, accidentally hearing them on the radio and suddenly realizing we were singing along to a tune about hook-ups or masturbation throughout our youth. Let’s recall 10 tracks that are much more sinister than their care-free hooks.  

Kelis – "Milkshake" (2003)

Our favorite line: “You must maintain your charm / Same time maintain your halo”

Kelis’ biggest hit brought all the boys to the yard back in 2003, including the ones who were way too young to realize the bouncy track's sexual connotation. Yep, this song isn’t about a gifted junk food joint’s worker who’s making the best milkshakes on the block.

According to Kelis herself, milkshake stands for anything that makes a girl special, so there’s at least some room left for imagination. We’re still not sure what to make of that “Warm it up” line. Does anyone really like their milkshake warm? Ew!
