SONGS ABOUT PROSTITUTION....

Being a long time Genesis fan, never thought Mama was about prostitution. Originally Posted by Spirit13

It's a bit like [British actor] David Niven in The Moon's a Balloon, I don't know if you've read that book, he's very young, just come out of cadet college or whatever, and he meets this quite, you know, 45-year-old prostitute who he has a fantastic time with. He's special to her but it definitely can't go any further than what it is and that's really what the song is about, with sinister overtones."

"Shakin Hands" by Nickelback

(Hey, hey) She had her eyes on the prize as the girl next door
You grow up quick when ya grow up poor
It's the only way to LA that she knows
The Hollywood pose, teeth, tits, and toes
Didn't take her long to leave the boulevard
So many five star friends with black credit cards
She'd try anything once, 'cause anything goes
It never comes easy when you're digging for gold

(Hey, hey) Well she ain't no Cinderella when she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west

[Chorus]
Far too pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Ya she'd even break a promise in the promised land
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands
She'll shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands

(Hey, hey) I doubt she'd even let the devil buy her little black book
City Hall would probably fall if anyone got a look
Every A list player is a favorite friend
Says they all taste the same in the back of the Benz
Her congressman will call her every once in a while
Got the school girl skirt on the top of the pile
She's done everyone once, and everyone knows
You got to get a little dirty when you're digging for gold

(Hey, hey) Well she ain't no Cinderella when she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west

[Chorus]

Someone spilled the beans and now her name's in the press
Tough to keep it all a secret when you're one of the best
The judge is going easy 'cause he paid for her chest
Ya he loves his little naughty wicked witch of the west

[Chorus]

She'll shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands.
I don't think this song is about prostitution per say, but when I listen to it there are certain bits that remind me of it...Esp the first verse..

Lyle Lovett - "The Girl with the Holiday Smile"

I met a hooker at the grocery store
She wasn't bad lookin', she was a pretty little whore
Whoa-o-whoa, she's the girl with the holiday smile
