Am planning a themed cabaret show for next Spring that is intended to be all Scandalous Adults-Only Broadway songs.
Looking for suggestions and inspiration that are EXPLICIT (not just sexy, but pushing boundaries of X-Rated) about sex, drugs, self-pleasure, body parts, S&M, debauchery... and would be good on their own (out of show context)...
Stuff like:
Never Met A Wolf Who Didn't Love To Howl — Smash
The Internet Is For Porn — Avenue Q
Bring On The Men — Jekyll & Hyde
Deep Love – Young Frankenstein
Sodomy — Hair
Tits and Ass — A Chorus Line
Hanky Panky — Dick Tracy
I Never Do Anything Twice (The Madam's Song) — The Seven Per Cent Solution
None of those are X rated , I can smell her c u n t might be explicit but none are x rated
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Now see, I had friends involved in Pretty Filthy and still had no idea it was written by Friedman. It makes me angry that it's easy to identify actors with a show but not necessarily writers.
Look up the "X-rated" set of lyrics for "You're the Top" from Anything Goes. They may or may not be by Cole Porter (opinions differ), but they're certainly filthy, and the song is familiar enough as something innocuous that they'd be shocking to anyone who hadn't heard them before.
And I’ve always suspected “Blow High, Blow Low” had more than a Touch of innuendo about what sailors supposedly do at sea (just read your Billy Budd!).
