It all comes out in the wash, as the saying goes, and that’s the upshot of Kacey Musgraves’ “Dry Spell,” which may be the sexiest song ever written about sexlessness. When asked for her favorite lyric on her new album, “Middle of Nowhere,” the singer doesn’t hesitate to cite a slyly bawdy line from the song.
“I’ve never talked about self-pleasure before,” she says. “So that’s a first for me: ‘Sitting on the washing machine.’ It’s not my grandma’s favorite line, but it’s mine, I guess.”
“It’s been a real long 335 days / And the last time, it wasn’t good anyway,” the full stanza goes. “I’m so lonely, lonely with a capital ‘H,’ if you know what I mean / I’ve been sitting on the washing machine.”

Does Grandma — the same one who “cried when I pierced my nose” in Musgraves’ 2018 song “Slow Burn” — know what that means?
