Is it me or is the new Rod Stewart song a bit ‘off’?!

[Blankspace4]

It’s called ‘One More Time’ and I keep hearing it on radio 2.

Every time I hear the lyrics I feel uncomfortable - maybe because it’s an old man clearly harassing a younger girl for sex ‘one last time’ until she relents!

Grim….or am I being daft?!!

How do you know it's an 'old man' and 'younger girl' from those lyrics??

Or harassment?

I thought it was about rekindling an old affair. Anyway I don’t like it either.

Song makes me cringe. That American accent, ugh.

I don't like it but I don't get anything about younger girls or harassment from the lyrics. That seems seriously reaching!

On Radio 2 - Rod Stewart said about "One More Time", "The story behind the song is: You know when you break up with somebody and the sex was amazing and you just want to do it one more time? That's what the song is about. It's happened to all of us I'm sure."

I've just watched the video and read the lyrics.
Nothing to get het up about.
It's a bit bland though.

I wish someone would tell him his voice has gone to shit though! He thinks he can still sing but he can’t. I get annoyed when he sings ‘speed dial oh yeah’ because it sounds so bad!! I’ve now got it going around in my head!

It does rather smack of talking a reluctant ex into sex and at 76 that does seems particularly like he should have learned to keep it in his pants unless asked.

I don't think the lyrics were written for him though

What's wrong with him still working in his 70's?

Lots of little ages related dogs going on here on this thread, which will multiply, I'm sure

What's wrong with him still working in his 70's?

It's not the working, it's the sleazing.

The oldies are back. Are they skint?

Rod stewart Elton john Sting

The oldies are back. Are they skint?

they haven't come back, they've just kept going. been releasing albums consistently.

will go listen to this Rod song now.

I'm so glad it's not just me ! He wants a last shag with a girlfriend he no longer wants to be with. She's saying no and she shouldn't and he is badgering and cajoling like some sort of sex pest. Not nearly as bad as the lyrics of Tonight's the Night though which is utterly creepy.

@TheDogsMother and @MrsTerryPratchett thank you - that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

I’m not easily offended but this makes me grimace every time I hear it.

No issues with the older generation making music but does it really need to be this sleazy??! The world has moved on.

I dont think its that bad tbh.
The worse thing about is that is bland and generic.

I say this all the time about Baby Jane.

I knew you when you had no one to talk to.
Now you’re moving in high society
Dont forget I know secrets about you

Steady on there Rod, talk about veiled threats.

@notacooldad it’s most certainly bland and generic too.

I’m definitely too old for radio 1 but the constant playing of this is making me regret radio 2

Agree it’s awful. I’m getting repetitive strain injury from reaching to turn the radio off every time that comes on … and don’t get me started on the current Diana Ross song

Oh I haven’t heard it yet…and in no rush to.

I have to listen to it in work on repeat over and over again..work has it on a tannoy system and all the older women love it and sing it constantly..apart from one lady who hates it as much as I do.
Once radio 2 get thier teeth into a song it's game over, they interviewed him a couple of weeks ago, he came across lime a dirtypervy old man ugh

There's a few songs on Radio 2's current play list I really dislike. Sting's new one, Diana Ross's and Sophie Ellis Bextor's. Really bland, all of them. I also felt the same hearing Rod's lyrics.

Not a Rod Stewart fan but why assume the woman is younger? And his real age has nothing do with the song - Tony Bennett still sings love songs, as did Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, their age is irrelevant.

There’s a difference between love songs and shagging songs!

So he's singing abut shagging.

So?

Song about a couple splitting cos she wants kids and he doesn't, still friendly and the sex was great - once more for the road? I promise not to tell anyone.

The only reason you are seeing anything else in it is because you are doing that weird thing, assuming the singer is the person in the song. He's a singer, a singer songwriter. In the same way Authors and actors do he writes and sings about 'stuff' and not everything is autobiographical.

Apply that logic to every song you can think of and you'd never listen to music again.

I was going by the video in assuming she (or the 3 young blondes he’s prancing around with) is younger - along with the fact referencing having babies - presuming therefore under 40!

Yes it’s a song and can’t read too much into it but it gives me the creeps.

Yes, babies mentioned, but he also talks about heading to Woodstock, which puts the song back in the sixties, so I assume it's meant to be him many years ago!
