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.

"Yes I do the cooking, yes I do the cleaning,
Plus I keep the na-na real sweet for your eating,
Yes you be the boss and yes I be respecting,
Whatever that you tell me 'cause it's game you be spitting..."

Shame it's such a banger. I console myself with the knowledge that it's bullshit. If Nicky Minaj would ever really give up her career to cook, clean and keep the na-na sweet for a man, then I'm David Guetta.

I’m aware that it’s been denied, but There She Goes really does seem to be about heroin use.

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

Wives and Lovers - Jack Jones. (Written by Hal David - produced by Burt Bacharach.) Utterly horrific. Wait on your man hand and foot, have his meals ready for him, (and his slippers, and a warm hug,) when he gets home, and make sure you keep yourself pretty and slim and looking nice, and put decent make up on. Don't think coz you're married, you don't have to make the effort!

Heard this for the first time on a compilation album of Burt Bacharach songs, and ended up both pissing myself laughing, and feeling really angry at the same time!

WIVES AND LOVERS...

Hey little girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore
For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you
Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again
For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here
Hey! Little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city and
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready
Time to get ready for love

Madonna - Like a Prayer.
'Down on my knees, I wanna take you there'

I'm on fire by Bruce Springsteen is pretty horrific, but I agree that the insidious ones like "that's what makes you beautiful" are the worst.
Still can't work out what's wrong with the Beach Boys "wouldn't it be nice" though?!

But no one says a f ing word about rap and drill which regularly debase women
if a white person sung this shit it would be all over the bbc and guardian and people would boycott the concerts and downloads

I've recently started to notice that loads of songs sung by males are about sex. It's awful!!!

Ooh can I add 24 Hours From Tulsa if we're talking Hal David.

Nearly made it home love, but then hooked up with a stranger in a car park.

"Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I saw her
As I pulled in outside of a small motel
She was there and so I walked up to her
Asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where"

Harry styles "choke her with a seaview" ... keep driving.

Well this is lovely from the Stranglers

Strolling along, minding my own business
Well, there goes a girl and a half
She's got me going up and down
She's got me going up and down
Walking on the beaches lookin' at the peaches
Well, I got the notion, girl
That you got some sun-tan lotion in that bottle of yours
Spread it all over my peelin' skin, baby
That feels real good
All this skirt, lappin' up the sun, lap me up
Why don't you come on and lap me up?
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
Well, there goes another one just lying down on the sand dunes
I'd better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit
'Cause you and me, woman
We got a lotta things on our minds, you know what I mean
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
Will you just take a look over there
(Where?) There
Is she tryin' to get outta that cli-tar-es?
Liberation for women, that's what I'm preaching
Preacher man
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
Oh shit, there goes the charabanc!
Looks like I'm gonna be stuck here the whole summer
Well, what a bummer
I can think of a lot worse places to be
Like down in the streets or down in the sewer
Or even on the end of a skewer
Down on the beaches, just look at all the peaches
Down on the beaches, just look at all the brown bodies
Down on the beaches, just look at all the sunglasses
Down on the beaches, just look at all the peaches
Down on the beaches, just look at all the peaches
Down on the beaches, just look at all the peaches
Down on the beaches

Shit in your bed and make it burst;
Good night, sleep tight,
And stick your ass to your mouth.

• Mozart.

If you wanna be happy - Jimmy Soul:

If you make an ugly woman your wife
You'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
She'll always give you peace of mind

I have never liked Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are"

I don't want clevah con ver sayshun

Don' want to wuk that hard

I just wan' someone that I can talk to

I want you just the way you are"

Seriously, it gives me the creeps.

@Krustykrabpizza
Break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored.

Should probably be changed to Break up with your wife, I'm bored.

There she goes is 100% about heroin!

This used to really creep me out as a kid!

Everyone finds that 'if you cry out' line in Sweat (a la la la la long) creepy- I heard it as 'cry out' in a good way, enjoying herself! ... you know, back when men would boast about making a woman feel good rather than boasting about what she 'let' him do....

Rod Stewart, "Tonight's the night"
All that guff about "sweet virgin child" Yeuch.

I have never liked Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are"

No, me neither. Then I saw a documentary that said he wrote it for his wife who was trying to get him to sign over his royalties to her, so I guess it's really about him being a bit dumb.

'My Sharona' : yuk
'Relax' though; loved it. Even bought the 12 inch 😉

That annoys me a bit too. Whilst I am sure it was meant well, the man is saying he doesn't want you to ever change anything. Well I will if I fucking WANT to.

Thing is thought @Gahhhhereheisagain his wife was looking through the small ads for another man, like he was looking for another woman. So they were just as bad as each other really......

I hate the seduction song by Bobby Goldsboro with older woman

The first time, quite sordid

Not really lyrics but the entire song House on Fire by Mimi Webb. Glamourising arson, absolutely hate it with a passion. Just not ok on any level.

J Hus- who told you (in charts at minute)
It's a good tune/melody but I don't like the lyrics...

She wore that tight dress just to enhance
Your likkle bum-bum
Never seen you before, where you come from?
You got a fat pum-pum, I got a long Johnson

Who told you bad man don't dance?
Who told you gangsters don't dance?
Even with a wap on my hip, I dance
Bad man, take another sip and dance
Two left feet, don't trip and dance
The gyal want me, I might give her a chance

Let me hold your controlla, I'm not one of these controllin' guys

I knew you were trouble, I was unprepared
If I was married, this might turn a scandalous affair

Vile and Centrefold
