Hokum

Hokum is a particular song type of American blues music—a humorous song which uses extended analogies or euphemistic terms to make sexual innuendos. This trope goes back to early blues recordings and is used from time to time in modern American blues and blues rock. An example of hokum lyrics is this sample from "Meat Balls", by Lil Johnson, recorded about 1937: Got out late last night, in the rain and sleetTryin' to find a butcher that grind my meatYes I'm lookin' for a butcherHe must be long and tallIf he want to grind my meat'Cause I'm wild about my meat balls.
