Unless I missed boat completely the lyrics to new song is all about having a one night stand with a girl.
I get a lot of songs are about sex, love ect, but their fans are very young, and lucky for me dd1 isnt a fan BUT feel uncomfortable about girls as young as 8 singing a song about "getting some"

Lyrics here

Sparklingbrook · 20/10/2012 21:52

As my grandmother (b1908) used to say about Elvis.... "He'd have been locked up in my day, all that jigging around - disgusting!"

ShiftyFades · 20/10/2012 22:00

Oh yes, Christ I must be getting old to not remember the one night stand bit Blush

Don't start me on Rude Boy, I was disgusted by that, and I'm a big fan of her Angry

All this talk of Duran Duran reminded me of my huge crush on Nick Kershaw Blush
Near a tree, by a river, there's a hole underground, where an old man of Arran roams around and around Confused
How non sensical offensive can you get?

Sparklingbrook · 20/10/2012 22:06

just for you Shifty.

ShiftyFades · 20/10/2012 22:07

I have seen Nik K perform (ahem) a year or two ago and he was great.

Sparklingbrook · 20/10/2012 22:42

One Direction? DH is related to Niall Horan, the blonde one. I met him once. He sang to us, for his mum's birthday.

My niece is about three, and her older sister is fourteen, and all of the songs she hears of her older sis, she repeats, singing it in public. The looks my sister gets when they're out together...

Karbea · 20/10/2012 23:26

I said the same to dh today. It's rude. Agree it's about a one night stand and misleading a girl (pretending they're in love), sad :(

wigglesrock · 20/10/2012 23:26

I can still remember my then 6 year old sister doing a particular fetching rendition of Like a Virgin for us one Christmas, bless her she got Madonna and the Virgin Mary a bit muddled.

slightlytipsy my 7 year old dd1 would be beside herself with Envy

Relax was banned completely by BBC and the video for Two Tribes (but not the song).

I was really surprised to see Mickey by Toni Basil on an ELC tape when DS1 was small - the lyrics really are very inappropriate for the under 5s!!

Rolling Stones "Let's Spend the Night Together" - 1967. I was 13. Amazingly, I didn't become promiscuous overnight after hearing it. YABU.

Sparklingbrook · 21/10/2012 17:03

'We don't gave to take our clothes off to have a good time'. That's better.

DesperatelySeekingPerfection · 21/10/2012 17:07

YABU. Remember Harry is singing to ladies in their thirties.... :)

Sparklingbrook · 21/10/2012 17:08

He said he wouldn't date anyone older than his 43 year old mother. Hmm

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 21/10/2012 17:14

Niall's hair seems to have several Directions. I fear he is in the wrong band
