This song should have been banned

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

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

A lot of songs from the 60s/70s can sound quite stalky or misogynistic when judged by today’s standards. It was a different time. Modern day feminism was in its infancy. Girls liked bad boys.

Swing Lo. Slave song. Offensive and yet still the England Rugby song……:

Are you saying women aren’t allowed to sing about abusive situations they’ve been in? Are songs only allowed to be about nice things?

She's not singing it from a point of empowerment. She's saying she enjoys being abused.

I agree! John Mellencamp had a song called Hurt So Good.

It's not about physical abuse, its about someone making her unhappy.

It's a great song though. Same as Under My Thumb. Obviously terrible message but great songs.

Oh I LOVE Under My Thumb😍

They did. I remember the top 30 countdown always skipped over Judge Dredd/Dread. Just remembered that and that I never heard any of the songs.

Wings got 'Give Ireland back to the Irish' and 'Hi, hi, hi' banned as assumed to be about drugs.

Oh that's alright then, he's a keeper!

And?

Yes. Also Run To Me by the Bee Gees - am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me? Now and then you need someone older.
Also Living Doll by Cliff Richard - She does her best to please me (etc. but basically she's just a robot sex doll).

Do you think songs about heartbreak in love should be banned then? That's an awful lot of songs...
(They'd better leave It Had To Be You alone, that's one of my favourites "And even be glad just to be sad thinking of you")

Those lyrics are pretty tame tbh

It was sung by enslaved people about being set free from slavery. Do you think they'd mind if they knew it was still being sung today?

my sharona and him getting it up for the touch of the younger kind.

lots of songs are really dodgy

If you listen to the lyrics of Young Girl hes telling her that she is too young and she needs to go home. Hes doing the gentlemanly thing.
Same with Abba's "does your mother know"
One of the very rare numbers sung by kne of the guys

They might be glad they havent been forgotten

Exactly right. Yeah I think they would - the NAACP says it is a slap in the face to the history of slavery. I know when I moved here I was actually shocked it was being sung so openly (and I don’t use that hyperbolically).

I think you are being ridiculous, OP. Why do you think people shouldn't be allowed to listen to ones that you dislike?

If you listen to the lyrics of Young Girl hes telling her that she is too young and she needs to go home. Hes doing the gentlemanly thing.

Yes, I can never understand what's so wrong about Young Girl. I remember when it first came out and the message was quite clear. 'You're much too young girl.'

Rhianna and Eminem’s “love the way you lie” is probably more comparable than chain reaction or relax.

and the second verse goes

Oh darling, lets make a list of the chores
I'll do mine and you do yours
When we're finished up we'll have a meal with our mums and dads, can't we?
Although your mum's so awful I'll be going NC
Oooh ooh baby, baby baby

It's only a matter of fucking time.

... let me hide behind the sett - tee
