I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Thrill when you touch my hair
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside

U2's One - NOT a love song but another one played at weddings.

Oh Breakfast in Bed makes me fume. Dusty did a lot of trampled on woman type songs - I suppose her sad sounding voice lent itself to it but I always think she needs to go on mumsnet for a talking to!

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 03/12/2013 17:36

What's the Use of Wonderin' from Carousel is absolutely gorgeous, but it does sound a little like it's encouraging you to stay in an abusive relationship.

I don't think that was how it was written (more that all people have good and bad parts to them, and when you love them that's more important than the good or bad parts) but even so, I don't usually admit to it being my favourite song from the film.

I find the Beatles' "Run for your life" really really creepy - it's got a horrible implied combination of paedophilia and misogynistic violence Confused

My Sharona by The Knack. DEEPLY disturbing predatory older male:

Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.
Gun it comin' off the line Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind...

How times have changed, can't imagine anyone getting away with singing 'young girl' these days

I really like the sound of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire", but the lyrics just don't sit right with me.
I've lo

Drat! Posted too soon!
.... I've looked up the meaning of the ding and it's meant to be something innocent - but I'm not entirely convinced.

melodycool · 03/12/2013 19:45

Song not ding!

Clawdy · 03/12/2013 19:54

"Run For Your Life"? Yes,definitely mysoginistic,but where does the paedophilia come in? Surely not the "little girl" reference? Several of the Beatles' and other sixties pop songs used that phrase and it certainly did not mean a child.

mrsmalcolmreynolds · 03/12/2013 19:58

I've witnessed Damien Rice's "The Blower's Daughter" used as a romantic wedding dance track. It is a beautiful song but they had clearly never cottoned on tothe lyrics!

ohtanmybum · 03/12/2013 20:01

'My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, won't you play with my ding-a-ling?' Now, what could that be
about?

stephenisjustcoming · 03/12/2013 21:45

I don't think you'd want to let Dean Martin drive you home though. Snow or no snow.

YuleNeverKnow · 03/12/2013 22:27

Love Rod Stewart singing Tonight's the Night ... except the line "Don't say a word my virgin child". The rest of it's OK with me, just not that line.

msmoss · 03/12/2013 23:36

Joleen, every time it's on the radio I'm screaming Dolly you're so much better than this, let him go and why are you blaming the woman for his infidelity, he's an arse.

{Come on}

Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain

Years go by I'm lookin' through
A girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel
On the pages in between

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away
(Aah)
Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes
(Aah)
Whenever she flashed those baby blues
Something had a hold on me
(Aah)
When angel passed close by

Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee
Is really just too much

My blood runs cold
Yea my memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
Oh yeah, angel is the centerfold

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

{Now listen}

It's okay I understand
This ain't no never never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take you car, yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

Na na na na na na na na na
Alright alright
One two three four
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

Ho my blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough to give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth, oh

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it is wrong to be alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes, oh

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

So hurry home to your mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, oh

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

Young girl, get out of my mind

'Creepy, grooming fucksters.' Love it Harpy.

Ewww what about "all I wanna do is make love to you" she steals his sperm!

KeatsiePie · 04/12/2013 01:17

Worra hahahaha!

This one played at the end of a Mad Men episode, I think season 5 - The Crystals, "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=f20Oz9Yr_So. In looking it up I just saw Grizzly Bear and Hole have done covers. Apparently it never played much as there was a lot of public objection.

He hit me
And it felt like a kiss.
He hit me
But it didn't hurt me.

He couldn't stand to hear me say
That I'd been with someone new,
And when I told him I had been untrue

He hit me
And it felt like a kiss.
He hit me
And I knew he loved me.

If he didn't care for me
I could have never made him mad
But he hit me,
And I was glad.

Yes, he hit me
And it felt like a kiss.
He hit me
And I knew I loved him.
And then he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is,
And when he kissed me,
He made me his.

Adele's Someone Like You is awful in so many ways. I really can't stand her bellowing and why this song is seen as romantic.

"I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over."

I just hope Mrs Adele's Ex says, yes you are uninvited and it is over, fuck off.
