Song lyrics that make you think what the hell?

[WhenTheDustSettles]

Hey, Mister DJ (oh-oh-oh)
Play a song for this pretty little lady (oh-oh-oh)
'Cause if she dance as good as she look right now (oh-oh-oh)
I just might, I just might make her my baby
I just might make her my baby, hey

Really Bruno? In 2026? Or have you sneaked into Doc Brown's De Lorean?

Oh 🥺

I didn’t know that, that’s awful.

Thankyou for telling me

Yes. It’s something to brag about.

I think it's aged badly because of lines like 'I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child' that are obviously going to land differently nowadays. A pity, though, because the song was obviously meant to depict a very innocent, avuncular (Clair calls him 'Uncle Ray') fondness for the child. Simpler times.

Yep, that. It stands out in my memory as at the time I was starting to realise I needed to split from my partner, and some of the lyrics landed a little too close for comfort. It got played to death on the radio at the time, too, so I couldn't get away from it!

Wet Leg, Wet Dream

I was in your wet dream, driving in my car
What makes you think you're good enough
To think about me when you're touching yourself

😩

Oh for goodness sake, can we not sing kids' nursery rhymes any more? Let's just ban Ring o' Roses then, and Oranges and Lemons!
