when you hear the somewhat problematic lyrics for the first time
Added 2024-07-05 21:14:35 +0000 UTCwhat song were you listening to later in life when you went "oh, well that is kind of.... an interesting... okay"
mine is always this one
"If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal // if her daddy's poor just do what you feel!"
I mean, it's still a bop but damn, mungo jerry. savage
[second of three D&D sessions with Lux, Adrian & Alice drop tomorrow right here. I'm working thru it. It is long]
I hope you found something to celebrate this weekend <3

Stray Cat Blues by The Rolling Stones is the awful. “I can see you’re just 15 years old, no I don’t want your ID…” it just cuts worse further into the song.

2024-07-07 21:42:32 +0000 UTC🎶”Young girl! Get out of my mind. My love for you is way out of line. Better run girl! You’re much too young girl” 🎶 I’m sorry… whuuuuut???

2024-07-07 08:53:38 +0000 UTCFor a little British Indie addition - my family is obsessed with the new James album (Yummy). My 13 year olds know all the lyrics off by heart, but each time I hear them sing "Spit don't swallow", I feel a bit disturbed. As for celebrating the weekend, I can get behind these lyrics from the same album (also appreciated by the 13 year olds): Raise your glass Life's a fucking miracle We're made of light Our form is physical If we love life Life loves reciprocal Celebrate

2024-07-06 06:15:54 +0000 UTCHonestly not even *that bad* comparatively but I remember my dad getting mad about Salt & Pepa bc he thought they were singing "bullshit" which... Dad. You're concerned about a curse word when they're singing about banging? Come on, man. (additionally I was FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGE when this song was released. FIF. TEEN. I'd heard BOTH my parents say worse than that by that point and I'd read FAR worse than that. This is the same man who when I read For Love Of Audrey Rose at 10 I turned to on our family vacation and asked "dad, what's a cunt?" That was the year I got my very own dictionary.)

2024-07-06 00:00:36 +0000 UTCA lot of the 90s rock singing about doing drugs and f*cking when I was in middle school and had no idea what I was singing 🤣 I’m so excited for the next D&D

2024-07-05 23:46:00 +0000 UTCUm 7 Days by Craig David immediately comes to mind. I legit remember singing all the words when I was like 8 years old. Also Shake ya ass by Mystikal

2024-07-05 23:41:31 +0000 UTCI think it’s this part that might confuse people since he could mean “make love” when he uses “amour” here, but it REALLY feels like a stretch hahaha : “Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres Pour être si forte aujourd'hui Elle a dû faire toutes les guerres De la vie, Et l'amour aussi”

2024-07-05 23:35:33 +0000 UTCAlso, some people say that “Je l’aime à mourir” by Francis Cabrel (Shakira did a Spanish cover I think) which is a song I loooove, is about him (maybe not the real him but the him in the song) loving a child, but like WRONGLY loving a child. Personally, I always thought it was about HIS child. Like a love letter to his daughter or something… anyways, I’m still not sure but I’m for sure still vibing to this song haha

2024-07-05 23:27:28 +0000 UTCFor me it’s the song “Sweat (A La La La La Long)” by Inner Circle… “Girl I wanna make you sweat, […] and if you cry out, I’m gonna push it some more”. I was 9 and really vibing to this hahahaha
