This song should have been banned

[HelloDenise]

Susan Cadogan – Hurt So Good Lyrics | Genius Lyrics https://share.google/fXhmd5KSrhfJUNtnp

I just heard it and looked up the lyrics. Appalling.

The video always makes me slide!!

In answer to your question I guess some might say he was fat shaming her and taking advantage of a woman desperate for attention. Yes, yes – me! me!!

I haven't seen the video... off to YouTube!

No need to ban songs. You either listen to them or you don’t. There are so many songs out there with questionable lyrics. Who gets to decide what to ban? Would it be put to a jury or panel or something? What if people are misunderstanding the lyrics and they should be interpreted allegorically rather than literally? Are we going to have a big bonfire of books while we’re at it? Slippery slope territory.

You are not wrong, but the fact the Bee Gees wrote it does always make me feel a bit ick!

🤣🤣🤣

And they followed it up with This Girl Is A Woman Now in 1969 ...

They used to play Young Girl on Radio 2 a lot about 15 years ago, I always found it very uncomfortable. But I suppose it was perhaps older generation men dedicating it to their slightly younger but same generation wives? I hope anyway

He is literally saying 'You're too young, I thought you were older
(you even perhaps told me you were 'You led me to believe you're old enough to give me love and now it hurts to know the truth!')
and now I know you aren't, get out of my mind and go home to your Mum.

Other than perhaps the lyric 'get out of here before I have the time to change my mind/I'm afraid we'll go too far' being nebulously dubious (which I don't think is too problematic given he is literally saying 'Go away I don't want anything wrong to happen/I'm not comfortable with this situation so leave!' I don't see anything wrong with this song.

It's a good message arguably 'Guys, we can't mess around with young girls' in an era where plenty did (I know they still do but we have moved on from it being sometimes seen as okay).

You are being ridiculous OP, but I am wondering why you've suddenly picked on one particular song, which isn't especially famous, and, as others have said, is about 50 years old ?

Yep, i agree.

Them Bee Gees always were a bit ropey 😂

Glad it wasn't just me who couldn't see anything wrong with this song! 😬

Whatever you do @HelloDenise do not, I repeat do NOT listen to 'My Neck, My Back' by Khia! 😱

Anthrax on your tampax- Eminem.

WTF?! I have never heard of that one! 😂

Get a life and stop being so precious. If it offends you, switch it off.
I am not a fan of thd message in single ladies by Beyonce but not about to campaign for the banning of it (some women identify whether i agree or not)

At the rate of wanting to ban things, next thing it will be shampoo to stop bald people being offended. Getting absolutely ridiculous

That made me LOL! 😆

Gary Puckett & The Union Gap
'Young Girl'

My all time favourite worst lyrics.

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

Yes, a 'good message' there...

Don’t get into country music or metal OP, you would really struggle. Personally, I found WAP utterly disgusting as it paraded to be about women’s sexual freedom even though it was really about pleasing a man. But it’s up to me not to listen to it or let my sons listen to it.

That's not the same. It was observational and funny. Not tolerating crap to keep a man.

I love the tune to Summertime! My husband is always saying about how the song is about driving when drunk - err, no dear, it’s very clearly about using women for sex and treating them poorly! On an ice cream van is diabolical 😂

It’s a fucking great song though, top tune. Been on my Spotify playlist for donkeys.

We were more liberal back then (1973) OP. We did not believe in censorship the way you younger people seem to.

The Jimmy Somerville version of this song is excellent.

Hadn’t heard it in years.
