Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones
There are a few Stones songs I really love, and their musical influence is enduring. Start Me up doesn't make the cut. Exhibit A: car-as-cock analogies. Exhibit B: Jagger in a leotard. Exhibit C: "You make a dead man come." One of the most revolting lyrics in rock history.
For a good time, give a listen to the Folksmen parody.

Oh man, that just makes me want to remember what other revolting rock lyrics are out there, and which would really count as the most revolting. Surely Led Zeppelin has a few. I was never into their thing about squeezing his lemon til the juice ran down his leg.
