Like switching on or switching off, choosing a bow tie or high heels

I know two really sweet songs about kink—

Schmekel, "Hold My Yod"

Isn't it splendid that we're chums? Aren't you glad we aren't frum?
So won't you beat me with a flogger on my bum?
You make me come in such a complicated way
Oh, what would Shmuley say?


The Spook School, "Speak When You're Spoken To"

And I'll throw my heart in your face
You can put me back, back in my place
You know I like it when you tell me what to do
Only speak, speak when I'm spoken to


—and I'm looking for a third to make a genre. [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel has suggested The Wet Spots' "Do You Take It?" but it strikes me as more straightforwardly comedic ("You're adorable, reliable / But is your anus pliable?") whereas I find the Schmekel track both funny and sweet. Also, stuck in my head. More of this sort of thing must exist even if I don't know where to look for it. What are the obvious contenders I'm missing?

Pretty sure "The Masochism Tango" doesn't count. But maybe that verse of Cohen's "Hallelujah"?

Mellencamp's "Hurt So Good"?

I love Hurt So Good! My parents' song is "Stuck With You" and I used to get the two songs confused a lot, which was...pretty entertaining.

Also, I came here to suggest Masochism Tango, so props there.

I am sure I must have heard it back in the day, but I don't recall. (I am really really bad at pop music, even things that were the soundtrack of my childhood. I never have any idea who wrote what -- apart from Beatles stuff, which I actually kept track of -- and have been known to be surprised that two different earworms were from the same song.) I think I found it by Googling [hurts so good lyrics], figuring that expression must have been in a song at some point.
