Could this be the greatest song about wanking ever???
Not to mention the greatest french horn solo ever committed to vinyl (apologies to Julius Watkins!).
Fun fact: Pictures of Lily (released on 4/22/67) was the 2nd single released on the new Track Records label which Polydor had set up for manager Kit Lambert to run. Anyone know what was the first??

Yes. But I would also like to nominate New Toy by Lene Lovich (but written by Thomas Dolby).
Track Records trivia question? No idea.
Without looking it up -- my admittedly dim memory is leading me to believe it might have been Hendrix.
Hey Joe?

You are correct, sir.
Survey said!
Jimi Hendrix: Purple Haze
The oeuvre of wanking songs certainly is led by Pictures of Lily, but it certainly didn't stop there:
"Turning Japanese," the Vapors
"I Touch Myself," the Divinyls
"Longview," Green Day
"She-Bop," Cindy Lauper
others?
...others?
"Willie and the Hand Jive"
"Orgasm Addict" - The Buzzcocks
U and Your Hand by Pink.
"Rosie" Jackson Browne
"Dancing With Myself" - Billy Idol
Though some say that's not true.
I thought the first track single was "Wind Cries Mary". I also thought the second one was Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air". But I've been quite wrong before.
peromyscus,
That factoid comes from Richard Barnes' "The Who: Maximum R&B" and has not been independently verified. ;>
