That’s right. Good ol’ Shel Silverstein wrote satire for Playboy and he penned a BDSM song called “Freakin’ at the Freakers Ball.”

SFW lyrics of the song include: “C’mon babies grease your lips grab your hats swing your hips and don’t forget to bring your whips I’ll take you to the Freaker’s Ball” and, “Leather freaks’re dressed in all kinds of leather, the greatest of the sadists and the masochists too, Screamin’ please hit me and I’ll hit you.”
