Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll
Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEX : Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll
The song "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll" is a rock and roll anthem from 1977, performed by Ian Dury & the Blockheads.
The phrase has since entered the English language, but also others as the German language. It employs the rhetorical figure of a triad or hendiatris to capture a certain lifestyle. ("Rock and roll" is here counted as one concept, which itself is a dyad or hendiadys referring to dance and sex; see Origins of rock and roll).
It belongs to the wine, women and song family of triads.
