rfmcdonaldThe Canadian Toronto-based New Wave group Rough Trade, fronted by the inimitable Carole Pope, scored what might be a global cultural milestone with their 1980 song "High School Confidential". A #12 hit in Canada, as sung by Pope the lyrics of this song were the first lyrics of perhaps any hit song that straightforwardly expressed a lesbian erotic potential.
The Montréal-based group Lesbians on Ecstasy, now (sadly) apparently defunct, included an answer song to "High School Confidential" in the genre known alternatively as synthpunk or electropunk, "The Pleasure Principal", track 4 off of the group's 2004 self-titled debut album. The song was written as an address to a "Miss Pope", an apparently disruptive student brought into the principal's office to deal with a pressing issue. Lesbian erotic potential expressed here, again.
YouTube user PinkShiori made a music video for this song out of clips from the 2004 anime My-HiME. As noted by many of the commenters, the video syncs with the song quite well.
What's the principal doin' with her?
Who's that guy, is he screwing with her?
What's her perfume? Tigress by Fabergé
She makes me cream my jeans
When she's coming my way
[. . .]
She drives a candy pink Cadillac
If I don't get her soon, i'll have a heart attack
When she flashes me a look I wanna burn my book
Give up high school

So Miss Pope
I've been hearing things
Naughty things
Very very dirty things
The other day in the bathroom stall
I was watching you
And you know what?
It made me cream my jeans
