Forgot about Elastica - Elastica, a good album even if they pinched all of Wires' best tunes (and a few of Blondies' too).
Have to say Vaseline is the best song about bum sex ever invented.

and dont forget The Stranglers on Waking Up, but who cares ?
Cant think of any other songs about bum sex so have to agree with you on that one
