songs that wouldn't happen now (light hearted)

[pitlochrypat]

What songs wouldn't happen nowadays?
I'll start with:

Abba - When I kissed the teacher

Shaddup you face - Joe Dolce 1981 No1 for three long weeks keeping Vienna by Ultravox off the top for that time. and No1 in 11 other countries.

Relax by Frankie goes to Hollywood wouldn't be controversial at all nowadays.

Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen

Young Girl. By Union Gap (I think). Urgh.

My Sharona.

‘I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind’

Mucky pig.

Sugar and Spice by The Searchers

Two little boys..grim, very grim.

Why is "two little boys" grim? Because it was written by Rolf Harris? The story is lovely.

I agree! 'Two little boys' is lovely. It still gives me a lump in the throat, daft old bat that I am.

Tbh, the Rolf Harris connection hadn't occurred to me. A lot of things can be appreciated, regardless of the failings of those who made them.
