Can’t believe these lyrics I heard on Radio 1

I was listening to Radio 1 with children in the car and I had to turn it off.

Attracted to your status, maybe your a* (sounds like a planet)

Who is this H? I’m surprised the BBC let it through.

Come on Eileen, Blurred Lines, and other rape themed songs are all over the place.

I feel like a lot of songs are pushed onto artists and they didn’t write them.

My all time misheard line remains “Just let me staple the vicar” in We Are Family

Come on Eileen is a rape themed song?! 😯

(Starts swotting up on Taylor Swift lyrics as also thought it was Starbucks lover, dc will not forgive getting words wrong at concert next month!)

RosaBaby2 · 16/05/2024 16:53

Sat here far too long trying to work out what begins with A and rhymes WITH planet 😂

@WitchWithoutChips

Summer of 69 is the so called summer of love. He was 10 I believe!

GB81 · 16/05/2024 17:00

I didn't read that properly and was trying to find a swear word that rhymed with planet!

Nevermind91 · 16/05/2024 17:01

Radio 1 does seem to have some iffy stuff on it these days. I haven't listened willingly for many years.
On a long car journey a couple of years ago, our daughter requested Radio 1, so on it went. They were reading out 'would you rather' choices.
The first one we heard was "Would you rather walk in on your parents having sex and join in, or masturbate in front of them?" This was early evening.

WitchWithoutChips · 16/05/2024 17:02

@petermaddog and @mitogoshi yes, I realised later the reference to the summer of love, but he has also confirmed that the title is a reference to the sex position - hence the ad lib ‘my and baby in a ‘69’ at the end of the song!

No

There are few if any boundaries now. Anything goes. Sexual crudeness on tv or radio passes no comment, however vile. But that where extreme liberalism has brought us, unfortunately. If you question it you’re uptight or judgmental in some way. Ironically it is women who are often the target of this.

Thank you for your validation. There are threads on here about the rise in anl sx on girls as a standard part of sx which is why I took it at face value.

Just say the words!

They say we hear what's on our mind!

OperationPushkin · 16/05/2024 14:31

What? Of course you misheard the lyrics. And in a quite hilarious way as well. 😄Just admit your mistake and laugh about it.

mingetoo - sorry Mangetout is embarrassed because of what she thinks the mistake says about her but I too think she should get over it (this is not a double entendre).

TinkerTiger · 16/05/2024 17:18

MangetoutsaysGetOutMan · 16/05/2024 11:49

So I didn’t mishear, he did it on purpose?

No, you misheard. HTH.

MangetoutsaysGetOutMan · 16/05/2024 11:49

I doubt so. It doesn't sound that much like anus to me. You just had anus attraction on your mind. Just Google the song and have a listen in the time you're using to post this question on MN!

As a previous poster said, an*l looks like a filthy visual pun

@PrettyFlyforaMaiTai Come on Eileen isn't "rape themed" but if you listen to the lyrics it's a bloke basically begging a girl to have sex with him. Whilst not rapey, it's pretty coercive and grubby:

[Chorus]
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (Well, he means)
At this moment
You mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh, come on, Eileen

and

[Chorus]
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (Well, he means)
Ah, come on, let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah, come on, let's
Ah, come on, Eileen
That pretty red dress
Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah, come on, let's
Ah, come on, Eileen
Please

You in that dress / My thoughts, I confess / Verge on dirty

My friend says she doesn't remember this, but I'm sure she's just blanked it out. Many years ago she was singing (for some reason) the Elvis hit 'Are You Lonesome Tonight'. When she got to the line 'Do the chairs in your parlour seem empty and bare?', she sang 'The chairs in your parlour, cementy and bare'. She said that perhaps he had taken the real chairs away and she had to get cement ones????

For some reason that really made me laugh, 😂😂😂

BustyLaRoux · 16/05/2024 17:34

Anus???? Baby you’re ANUS???? Why he would call someone anus?

BustyLaRoux · 16/05/2024 17:36

What is anl sx???? Is the same as telling someone they’re anus?

My DD used to sing songs at Brownies, and there was a big favourite called I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee.

DD - up to the age of 12 when she left - was utterly insistent that the song was Bringing Home a Baby Bumhole Bee. Every week she belted out those lyrics, loud and proud.

I did try to explain it was bumblebee but she wasn't having it.

😂

A bumhole bee could be painful, and it'd be hell of a job geting the sting out.

Which one did she pick?

H is a daft lad from Salford. He is not the problem here. Porn hub and availability of porn featuring anal sex and choking is the problem.

I thought it was Tesco for years.
Also thought Chakka Khan wanted to Climb Every Woman.

@MangetoutsaysGetOutMan I so hope you called the BBC's duty office in outraged indignation and gave them the best laugh they've had after a phone call for months.
