It's been around for a while, and if I've misheard it, please do correct me.
Little Mix, 'Sad Songs'. Here we go...

'So tonight, I'm going to get my mind of it, don't care that someone's got his hands all over my body'

WHAT???

You're upset, trying to take your mind of it, in a club, someone's groping you and you're not bothered?

Makes me feel ill every time I hear it. And having done a lot of driving this weekend with kids who will not listen to anything but Capital, I've heard it a lot.

Most disturbing song of recent years in my eyes is Stooshe's "Black Heart". A song about being in an abusive relationship but that it's all fine because she loves him Hmm Great message for young girls.

"I don't like it when you break me honey
Why'd you have to do that?
Tell me when you'll make these tears keep falling
Do you feel like a man?

Figure, figure there's no working you out whatsoever
Only one way I can sum you up altogether
You got a black heart

Daddy I've fallen for a monster
Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and he's bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart

No walls to build around me honey
'Cause you blew my house down
Sticks and stones won't put it back up for me
And that's where we're at now

Sicker, sicker, I ain't feeling your mouth whatsoever
Naming hurts me more than weight thrown around but whatever
You got a black heart

Daddy I've fallen for a monster
Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and he's bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart

Daddy I've fallen for a monster
Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and he's bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart

He got a black heart
He got such a dirty black heart in him
Ain't it girls?! (yeah)
I love him like mad
Oh, yes I do
He got a black heart."

Surprised Blurred Lines hasn't made it on here yet

ApplesinmyPocket · 21/08/2017 14:26

Clair?!

A humorous 'oh god kids kill me at this hour of the day with their irrepressible energy and chatter' sort of song

Come on. Let's not pretend to see horrible things in happy things.

midnightmisssuki · 21/08/2017 14:29

If you think thats bad.... please don't go onto MTV. Some of the lyrics will shock you. Khia's - my pussy and my crack has got to be one of the most vile songs ever written (IMO).

Sienna9522 · 21/08/2017 14:31

And actually what is wrong with the Little Mix lyrics. There's nothing to suggest that the groping won't be consensual.

This.

It had, about 10th post!

Dinah Washington sang this. Filth! lyricsfreak.com/d/dinah+washington/long+john+blues_20240892.html

DeleteOrDecay · 21/08/2017 15:06

Forgot about My Neck, My Back. I remember being about 13 when this came on the radio in the car with my parents. Mortifying experience, they didn't even turn the station over so I had to sit and endure it.

BartholinsSister · 21/08/2017 15:11

And actually what is wrong with the Little Mix lyrics

The misuse of the word 'of' is pretty disturbing.

Gwilt160981 · 21/08/2017 15:28

You think that's disgusting dont listen to purple stain by red hot chili peppers.

The80sweregreat · 21/08/2017 15:51

That Stooshe's song was a nightmare - i remember dh decorating the dining room with the radio on - Heart radio seemed to play it every blooming hour on the hour ! i grew to hate it, but you dont hear it anymore ( mind you, on my own i tend to avoid those radio stations if i can!)
just looked up the purple stain lyrics - yuk is all i can say to that little ditty!

MrsOllyMurs · 21/08/2017 16:44

GRAUNAIL I think 'Daddy' is another way of referring to a partner, can't think of any other examples off hand, but with American artists I'm sure it can be construed as that. Or am I just trying to defend Bruce, a staple of my childhood! Actually, doesn't Billy Idol refer to similar in White Wedding?

thenewaveragebear1983 · 21/08/2017 17:11

You're gorgeous by Baby bird. Sung by a man, but the lyrics are horrible. I've often said to Dh that it's a massive double standard that if it was sung by a woman it wouldn't been seen as a 'nice' song.

Eenymeeny123 · 21/08/2017 17:14

The song ride boy by rihanna,
Come here rude boy, boy
Can you get it up
Come here rude boy, boy
Is you big enough
Take it, take it (yeah)
Baby, baby (yeah)
Take it, take it (yeah)
I used to cringe when I hear young girls singing itConfused

Areyoufree · 21/08/2017 17:20

Brown Sugar, by The Rolling Stones. Was shocked when I realised what that one was about.

NameGotLostInCyberspace · 21/08/2017 17:26

When I was at school there was a song out called "put it in my mouth" Hmm

tearsinmyeyes · 21/08/2017 17:32

Yanbu op
Little mix is aimed at 5-15 year olds
This is the age where you build up on issues like consent so that it becomes very black and white . Ambiguous shit like this aimed at little girls is fucking depressing .

tearsinmyeyes · 21/08/2017 17:34

I think most posters are missing the point by quoting more sexually explicit lyrics .
It isn't the explicit nature that is the worst thing.
It is the fact that they are talking about washing your worries away by being groped mindlessly by someone you possibly barely know and possibly not really liking it .

sashh · 21/08/2017 17:40

What about the song where you discover a man is unfaithful to everyone; his conquests include 640 women and girls in Italy, 231 in Germany, 100 in France, 91 in Turkey, but in Spain, 1,003?

Then there is, "I am a child of gypsy blood" just shere racism.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 21/08/2017 17:47

The Weeknd, "And the heat between your legs" Sounds like thrush to me.

scaryclown · 21/08/2017 18:00

Something kind of ooh bumping in my back room..

Kursk · 21/08/2017 18:07

Suggest you never listen to closer by nine inch nails then OP

He he yes to ^

Freak on a leash also has some interesting lyrics

Disn3yN3rd · 21/08/2017 18:07

Reminds me of the outrage at Britney Spears' "If You Seek Amy".
