Songs That Would Be Frowned On Today

[bednobs]

just doing some listening to oldies and it struck me that one or two wouldn't be PC today
young girl by gary wotsit and union gap
me and julio down by the schoolyard
anyone think of any others?

I always thought in All the Young Dudes that Ian Hunter sang "gonna rape some cat to bed" and remember thinking that wouldn't be allowed now, but I recent read that the lyric was "race some cat"

Oliver's army talks about "white ***" but it's still played.

Wasn't there a song about We're having a Gang Bang?

[fiction-factory]

All the songs about a girl now being sixteen seem a bit un PC now

[Tilly2]

If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

I don't have a problem with Young Girl. I picture it as a fairly young guy, say 21 flirting and chatting a woman his met in a nightclub - then somebody tells him she's 15 so he tells her in a nice way to booga orf

[Prudie]

I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home
I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone

[fiction-factory]

I think all these are tame compared to the stuff out now where songs aimed at teeneagers say things like "don't be afraid to pop pills" and I took a pill in Ibitha"; and words like b1tc H and pussy are used often (and not a pussy as in the Cat crept in from our day).
Was me and Julio about gay love? If so there are plenty of those around now. I always wondered about Daniel by Elton John

Ah, Squeeze, Prudie. Good track

Here's one FF, there was another in a 'Confessions of' film back in the day.
Live at the BBC mind. :-)

[bednobs]

girl you'll be a woman soon, neil diamond.
Of couse not helped by the fact he's in his 70's now

[MargoTester]

My old man's a dustman. Waste disposal operative doesn't have the same ring does it :-)

[fiction-factory]

Yes, that was one Douglas, thanks. But there was also one by Black Lace -"we're having a gang bang" -that was sometimes played at kids' parties!

[hc4361]

Nobody knows what crime was committed by him and Julio, there's nothing outrageous in that song

My LOL was to Margo ...

Neil Sedaka looked too old to be singing:

"Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tonight's the night I've waited for

[Tilly2]

Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-headin' on over the hills,
where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quills.
Dangerous land! No time to delay!
So, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!

[cupid04]

Tom Jones' Delilah

Neil Sedaka looked too old

22, not a huge gap.

[Davemano]

Part of the lyrics of Please Don't Tease.
You tell me that .............................all over.

[jno]

hc, they haven't just met, but he's guessed her age wrong (he says) and of course he's blaming her for his own bad thoughts

Beneath your perfume and your make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know that it's wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes
