My answer to this is that both "Lola" and "Walk on the Wild Side" were Top 40 AM radio hits in the early 70's. Which supports your thesis that content is blinvisible, but language causes a ruckus.
How "even when she was giving head" got past everybody is a mystery to me.
Ack. I'm trying to remember the name of a bawdy cartoonist. I saw one of his cartoons with a huge egg banging the hell out of a chicken, and the caption "Who came first?"
Ring any bells for anyone?
If that image is ringing anyone's bell, I don't think I want to know about it.
There was also one with a dog taping cones to a guy's hands while he sleeps saying "See how you like not being able to play with your balls."
Isn't that why dogs have really long tongues? Somehow I think ball-playing is not something you need fingernail clippers for.
I don't know about you, but I see dogs play with their balls all the time, thanks to tongues like that dude from KISS. Cats, too, although with cats it is more the incredibly flexible spine, so it looks less like bondage porn and more like contortionist porn.
I remember a cartoon that had the chicken and egg in bed smoking cigarettes, and the caption "Well that answers that question" (possibly in the New Yorker?), but not the one ita mentioned.
Oh, I explained it poorly -- the cones on the owner's hands (I'm assuming) are payback for the dog having had a cone on his head preventing him from playing with his balls.

I thought it was a joke on the dog being fixed, but I can see it that way too.

The big head-cones dogs wear after surgery means that they can't get their long tongues down to their balls; but the human equivalent is hands. So what makes the cartoon funny (except for having to explain it) is the tit-for-tat. It's not anatomical exact equivalence; it's whatever yields the equivalent result.
And it just gets funnier the more we talk about it.
I was not mean to you! It must have been a doppleganger.
You were so! I'm willing to go with the Doppelganger though.
