List of songs about nudity

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Highly indiscriminate. Even if this were properly focused, a list of songs about nudity would be little more than trivia. This list, however, according to its own lede, is a list of songs "concerning or referring to nudity, nude, nudism, nudist, naturism, naturist, nakedness, skinny dipping, streaking, streaker, nude beach, depictions of nudity, nudity in sport, female topfreedom (toplessness), bare skin, bare all, indecent exposure, flashing, flasher, etc." This is broad enough to include "Hot in Herre" (due to a single line), and even an instrumental jazz piece, because it is named "The Stripper".

 *  Weak keep and... er... strip only to songs that are directly about nudity (such as The Streak). One-line mentions shouldn't count. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 04:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete definitely an unnecessary and trivia-ish list. Bulldog123 05:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak...strip - per the above. --Haemo 09:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh... I guess if someone steals one of my jokes, then that means it's a good one... Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 16:11, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I fail to see why a list of songs that are "directly" about nudity would be less trivial than a list of songs that are "directly" about telephones (see AfD List of songs about telephones). The same goes for List of songs about animals.  I'd like to hear the counter-rationale, as I'm not set in stone on this.   CharacterZero  |  Speak  17:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, you got me there. Directly about nudity would be hard to define -- is "Nothing On But The Radio" directly about nudity, merely because its title is a double entendre for nudity? I'm leaning towards no, but someone else might argue yes. As I said, there are clear cut examples, such as "The Streak", but I guess it is a little too subjective to be established as naked (har!) truth.

 * Strip it outta here, delete it. Aside from WP:LIST, they forgot Get Nekkid by Rick Dees - and that annoys me. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 19:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, sorry, but it's completely useless.  *Cremepuff 222*  20:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete An example of one sort of list that should be deleted: very incomplete & unreliable, with no clear purpose.DGG 23:23, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete What utter nonsense! At the very very kindest interpretion this article is at the extreme end of listcruft but to be honest a list of songs (audio media) about nudity (a visual phenomenon (when represented in the media)) is totally pointless trivia. A1octopus 12:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
