I guess you can go with "John Wayne Is Big Leggy" kinda has something to do with "beating-off" i guess, also one of my favorites that no one has yet to mention "Pussy Stew" by Killer Pussy b-side of Pocket Pool, not a very popular song but a classic :)

I've never seen verification on this, but how about "Once In A Lifetime" by Talking Heads? The lyrics seem to suggest it's all one big fantasy, and at the end after repeating "Same as it ever was" a few times, Byrne says "And look where my hand was" (whi

Most people don't realize that Safety Dance by Men Without Hats is an ode to the wank - promoting self love as a Safe alternative to screwing in the initial age of AIDS hysteria. Substitute your favorite word for self-love every time they sing the word '

How did The English Beat's not-terribly-subtle "Hit It" get missed? Some lyrics:

Autoerotic, really could not be in better hands...

Relax and hand it to yourself...

Pork Dukes - Telephone Masterbator

Definitely the least subtle song on the subject. Got'em banned in Britain! [:p]

How about "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston. It always sounded to me that this song is an ode to "loving yourself" in any capacity. It also stinks by the way![xx(]

How's about:

"Nasty Habits" by Oingo Boingo

"Do you like to romp and play by yourself when they're away, Nasty Habits!"

"Praying Hands" by Devo

"Well the left hand's diddling, while the right hand goes to work!"
