The favorite organ of the rock world? Some say it was built by Hammond. But we nominate the muscular organ in your mouth that enables speaking, singing, tasting and kissing. The essential, indispensable tongue. Rock taste makers have always paid homage to linguistic arts. Talking Heads spoke “Speaking in Tongues”. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs sang over a “Black Tongue”. And Bob Dylan Known: “Spanish is the Loving Tongue”. Here are ten of the greatest tongue restrictions ever.
10. Jimi Hendrix
One of the many species how Hendrix reinvented the electric guitar game: he used his tongue. (Fortunately not at the same time as the use of lighter petrol.)
09. “Tongue” by Rem
“I just tried to sing like a girl,” said Michael Stipe about this track from the album “Monster” (a hit in Great Britain). The ballad, shaped by the piano and falsett, is written from a female perspective. A girl’s unfortunate lawsuit who feels like a unattractive “last desperate fuck”. As always, the tongue is a place of sex and power at the same time. In contrast to the sad texts, the disco ball was used at concerts for this song. Not to mention the hemorrhage on stage during this song that drummer Bill Berry took to the hospital in Switzerland in 1995.
08. Dennis Rodman
When the most rocking basketball player of all time in 1996 posed for the cover of the Rolling Stone, photographer Albert Watson caught him with red colored hair, devil horns and a stretched tongue, which looked about twice as large as its real organ. We cannot rule out that this tongue was the main topic of conversation between Rodman and Kim Jong Un when the Worm visited North Korea.
07. “Open up and say … ahh!” From Poison
Did you think Dennis Rodman had reached the peak of the tongue? The cover of the second album of Poison, five times with platinum, showed the model “Bambi”. In her portrait she was depicted with huge mane, tiger strips, claws, nose ring and a tongue that was a foot long like a hot dog from Nathan’s.
06. Steven Tyler
The front man of Aerosmith not only shares his tongue with the world, he has also made her famous by singing about her again and again – mostly pornographically. For example in “Fine”: “I push my tongue directly between your cheeks.” In “Taste of India”: “The sweet taste of India lingered on the top of my tongue.” (If it is unclear: “India” is a girl.) And the best in “Back in the Saddle”: “The girls are dripping wet/no tongue is drier than mine.”
5. Debbie Harry
We love vinyl plates. But apparently not quite as much as Debbie Harry.
4. Danny Brown
The brilliant cult rapper Danny Brown (XXX, Old) not only lets his tongue hang out of his mouth as if on oxygen deprivation, but also frequently raps: sometimes as a drug transport (“Molly on My Tongue”), sometimes as a star of his pornographic rhymes about cunnilingus: “I get stupid and ignorant in this clitoris/lick in the madness/my tongue Damn seriously. “
03. Rolling-Stones logo
“The design concept for the tongue should represent the band’s anti -authoritarian attitude, Mick’s mouth and the obvious sexual connotations,” said designer John Pasche, who started working with the Stones when he was still a student at the Royal College of Art. (Since the logo showed up in the album Sticky Fingers for the first time, many falsely believe that cover designer Andy Warhol designed it.) Pasche said that the logo cost him a week of work-the Rolling Stones paid him a total of 250 pounds of sterling.
02. Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus’ tongue seems to spend more time outside of her mouth than in it – be it smooching with others in public or licking a default hammer in the video for “Wrecking Ball”. In a way that commutes between cheeky child and sexy adult, Cyrus constantly reminds us that her tongue works perfectly. She revealed to the Rolling Stone that her tongue habit originally originated from the fact that she did not like to smile on photos. “I just stretch my tongue out because I hate to smile in pictures. It’s so uncomfortable. Looks so cheesy. Now people expect it like: ‘Tongue!'”
1. Gene Simmons
Kiss’ “God of Thunder” was so generously equipped in the mouth area that the rumor circulated in the seventies that he had a cow -in -law transplant to get a little more length. (Unfortunately not true.) Simmons says that at the age of 13 he only noticed that his tongue was above average – and that this was an advantage in girls. Asked by Rolling Stone, as he rates Cyrus’ tongue skills, he reluctantly said: “Was okay. But that was the girl’s version. Like girl basketball. As good as girls can be in basketball. But you can’t play with the boys.”
