Is it just me or is this song really dodgy?!?!

[stanstanthevegman]

I have name changed so this thread can't be linked to old threads and this thread is completely outing! My DDs go to a dance school and are doing a Christmas show. I absolutely love the school and the teacher is amazing and has worked to give my DDs some much needed confidence boosts so I won't be saying anything to the teacher or confronting anyone or do anything really beyond pearl clutching here. My daughter is doing a dance to a song called Back Door Santa. I can't do a link so have attached photos of the lyrics. Please tell me I am reading into these lyrics something that isn't there cos it sounds bloody dodgy as fuck!

Bollocks

You mean Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells", which wasn't written for the film?

I didn't see it as little girls I saw it more as men going to work/play and Santa coming round to see the wives. I didn't see it as a child thing until I posted it here! She isn't young, no just didn't think too much into it I suppose!

That's even worse than when my DD's church school had all the angels in the nativity skipping on to angelly sounding music that I instantly recognised as the theme from The Exorcist.

This is also a piece of music by Mike Oldfield called Tubular Bells in its own right, though. It's not just the exorcist theme even if that's where you know it from.

FMD what is she thinking? He gives the little girls pennies to buy their silence so he can abuse them...

You don’t have to spend ANY time wondering what it ‘might’ mean, it’s all right there!

With regard to the OP, I wouldn't want my child dancing around to that and would have to say something.

stan that was my take on it too!

I’m very familiar with this song. Has anyone actually heard it?

It’s not like Santa Baby where where it’s quite cheerful but with more adult lyrics. It’s very obviously suggestive so I can’t see how anyone would think it suitable except in an all adult setting.

Sorry, on rereading I see he gives the children pennies so ‘they’ can be alone, they being the woman and him, not him and the children.

Even so, it’s NOT suitable for children to be singing.

I’m going to have to listen to it now!

Maybe show the teacher this if she's having trouble seeing the problem:

This version?

That song is on my work Christmas playlist and I've always found it a bit weird. Odd choice for a school concert that's for sure

@Tangofandango ffs

@Claw001 that's the one

That’s well dodgy.

Teacher must be proper thick as shite if they haven’t registered that it’s as dodgy as fuck!

The teacher is an amazing teacher, she has choreographed and put on a show almost single handedly she is far from shite. I just think it is an over sight on her part and I won't be getting cross about it. I was just concerned I was going crazy!

I think that song was in an advert last year! Can't remember which one

Seedy Santa more like. Can kids not just be left to think of Santa as a friendly old guy who leaves presents under their trees out of sheer goodwill and love of mankind?
Oh no, let's have him creeping around emptying his sack via the back door so boys/men don't notice, paying off kids to keep out the way so he can give their mums a seeing to year round! God's sake.

Santa gives the boys pennies so they're out of his way?!

I can see why she’s picked it, dodgy inferences aside...it’s a cracking tune.
It would be prudent to point it out to her and have a friendly discussion about it.

Please tell me they won’t be singing along to it too?! I don’t know whether to laugh or cringe or both!!

@pictish my DD thinks it is a great toe tapper! @Claw001 that is where I am!

PMSL! It's one of my favourite Christmas songs, but I agree it's singularly inappropriate for a kids' show. Mind you, this sort of thing happens more often than you might think: I remember spluttering into my programme at DS' school Christmas concert a couple of years ago when we were treated to a rendering of Hallelujah (ie the Cohen song) by a group of 8-year-olds...
"She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah"... No, that's not a reference to BDSM at all.

“Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya”

😂

Anyone else have Little Miss Sunshine in their head now?
