There are so many offending songs that I can't stop listening to. If I remember, I'll come back and share when I hear one.<br /><br />I'm actually really amused by Leader of the Pack. For one thing, I think he would probably be super pissed if he knew she were telling everyone how they met in the candy store. Way to ruin a guy's street cred. Maybe he just needed more candy cigarettes. Yeah. Manly. Then she dumps him, despite her love, because of dad's opinion. He speeds away, sobbing, while she cries for him to go slow. Poorly done screeching sounds as he crashes to his death. This is seriously one of the most hilarious songs ever!<br /><br />Yeah, The Beatles song makes me mad...yet I bop along. They seem all cute and British, but there was a dark underbelly!<br /><br />Here's another I thought of, although I actually love it, because it's more tongue in cheek (I think). The lyrics are super offensive though:<br />If You Wanna Be Happy - Jimmy Soul<br />"If you wanna be happy <br />For the rest of your life,<br />Never make a pretty woman your wife,<br />So from my personal point of view, <br />Get an ugly girl to marry you.<br /><br />A pretty woman makes her husband look small<br />And very often causes his downfall.<br />As soon as he marries her <br />Then she starts to do<br />The things that will break his heart.<br />But if you make an ugly woman your wife,<br />You'll be happy for the rest of your life,<br />An ugly woman cooks her meals on time,<br />She'll always give you peace of mind.<br /><br />Don't let your friends say <br />You have no taste,<br />Go ahead and marry anyway,<br />Though her face is ugly, <br />Her eyes don't match,<br />Take it from me she's a better catch.<br /><br />Say man. <br />Hey baby. <br />Saw your wife the other day. <br />Yeah?<br />Yeah, she's ugly. <br />Yeah, she's ugly but she sure can cook. <br />Yeah?. Okay."Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992599607086278068.post-90351595196326220782012-07-17T14:08:08.227-05:002012-07-17T14:08:08.227-05:00As a lover of the 40s and 50s doo-wop and rockabil...As a lover of the 40s and 50s doo-wop and rockabilly era, I can relate. "I Will Follow Him" has so much of a stalker vibe to it but I still sing along when it comes on Pandora. I am ashamed. The 50s are notoriously bad for girls desperately clinging to one man (usually the wrong one, "Leader of the Pack") songs. Granted, the boys spend a lot of time pining after the girls too ("Punch & Judy"). Were the 50s nothing but a decade of unrequited love??<br /><br />I have not heard that Beatles song but my jaw dropped seeing those lyrics. What in the world?!Steenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254893646539431640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992599607086278068.post-1337911684710684892012-07-17T14:01:46.714-05:002012-07-17T14:01:46.714-05:00I think it's the use of the word 'follow&#...I think it's the use of the word 'follow' that bothers me so much, and how childish Little Peggy March sounds, both the moniker and her voice. This doesn't come off as a mature relationship, as her merely being with her love forever. It sounds like, should he dump her, she would continue to follow him, across oceans or mountains. Bad plan.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992599607086278068.post-5872046860154384012012-07-17T14:00:12.382-05:002012-07-17T14:00:12.382-05:00A lot of the oldies that make me crazy are from Ol...A lot of the oldies that make me crazy are from Oldies. That Just a Toy song I haven't heard but it makes me want to strangle someone. Here are two that occurred to me right off.<br /><br />Run for Your Life - The Beatles:<br />"Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl<br />Than to be with another man<br />You better keep your head, little girl<br />Or I won't know where I am<br /><br />You better run for your life if you can, little girl<br />Hide your head in the sand little girl<br />Catch you with another man <br />That's the end'a little girl<br /><br />Well you know that I'm a wicked guy<br />And I was born with a jealous mind<br />And I can't spend my whole life<br />Trying just to make you toe the line"<br />This isn't the only Beatles Song that indicates abusive tendencies, but it's the most flagrant. Nothing about this is okay.<br /><br />I Will Follow Him - Little Peggy March<br />Of course, when you think stalker songs, the first that comes to mind is Sting's Every Breath You Take, however, this one would give that one a run for its money:<br />"Love him, I love him, I love him<br />And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow<br />I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go<br />There isn't an ocean too deep<br />A mountain so high it can keep me away<br />I must follow him, ever since he touched my hand I knew<br />That near him I always must be<br />And nothing can keep him from me<br />He is my destiny<br />I love him, I love him, I love him<br />And where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow<br />He'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love<br />From now until forever, forever, forever"<br />And, of course, it's also repetitive and cliche-ridden, even in its time period.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992599607086278068.post-12258054597268639152012-07-16T07:49:54.040-05:002012-07-16T07:49:54.040-05:00I actually just heard "Whistle" for the ...I actually just heard "Whistle" for the first time this past weekend.
