Dodgy morals in pop songs

[Gahhhhereheisagain]

I'll start...
Escape (the pina colada song)
I'd be leaving that Irish bar without him. What a tit.

Police Every breath you take

That's one that always comes to mind as totally stalkery - as mentioned by a PP.

Motorhead - "Jailbait," if the title doesn't give you a hint, the entire lyrics do, especially the lines:

I don't even dare to ask your age
I'm just happy that you're here backstage
You're jail bait...

The Notorious BIG, pop rapper who had two number one albums, and has several large murals and a street named after him in New York, had a still popular and oft-covered song about violently raping a number of popular singers, as well as calling a number of teenage female singers ugly:

Pimpin' ain't easy but it Sure is fun
When I my
I 'em one by one
So what's the 4-1-1 hun?
Dreams of f an R&B b
but I'm sayin'
Dreams of f an R&B b
I'm just playin'
I'm sayin'
I'll put Chante Moore in stitches
I'll f Rupaul..
Before I f them ugly ass X-scape b
You can 76 the 69... try 68
Did Raven Simone call date rpe?
Only 'cause I'm paid
I'm f all of Jade
And my DJ Zhane she likes it when they say
Everybody... move your body
Got Whitney Houson boostin' from Bobby
As I your yo face lookin' scarry
B to Chaka... I know that hairy
Sade... ooh I know that * tight
Smacked Tina Turner give her flashbacks of Ike

Every Breath You Take is written about a stalker.

Many of The Police's lyrics are about somewhat dodgy topics. Read the lyrics to Don't Stand So Close to Me.
