Little Richard wrote a song about anal sex! What was it called?

Little Richard, born December 5, 1932, was an American songwriter and musician. Amazingly, he has been an influential figure in music for more than six decades! He's written and performed famous songs Long Tall sally, Heeby-Jeebies, and of course, Tutti Frutti. The song,

Tutti Frutti, was his first major hit hit record. Surprisingly, few people picked up on the fact that the song is actually about anal sex. Who knew something created in the 1950's could be about something so vulgar! The message of the song is cleverly disguised as a normal love song with catchy chants and jazzy instrumental sounds.

According to a biography written about Little Richard, the song originally referenced anal sex numerous times, but the record company demanded that some of the lyrics get changed!
