Songs with good tunes and annoying lyrics!

These are songs I love, but the lyrics are objectionable:

Every Breath You Take (stalking)
In The Summertime (drink-driving
Under My Thumb (controlling boyfriend)
Killer Queen (prostitution)

It Might As Well Rain Until September ( I'm miserable so I hope everyone
has a lousy summer)

Living Doll (Run, dear. He's a weirdo)

merlotgran - you're right, the words to Living Doll are creepy!

Things are a bit better than they used to be - nobody today would dare to sing 'Stay young and beautiful, if you want to be loved'.

There is a whole raft of love songs that annoy me, which imply that the girl is a chattel and if the bloke she has gone off with gets tired of her, he can return to sender! (Take good care of my baby....)

What about 'Stand by your man' - forgive him for anything he does because he is just a man, so selfish and immature!

I was just about to post that one, Greatnan!

Golden Brown - the delights of heroin

Happy Birthday Sweet 16! (Tonight's the night, I've waited for...yuk!)

Just thought of another one - 24 hours from Tulsa.

Bloke's been away from home, on his way back meets some floozie in a bar and that's it! He loves somebody new and he can never (never) go home again! And he expects us to sympathise....

anagram Don't shift the blame onto the girl in the bar by calling her a floozie..she may never have known about the girl in Tulsa! Make the man take full responsibility for his infidelity!

OK, but looking at it from the point of view of the wife/girlfriend waiting at home, that's what I'd have called her!

How about 'Son of a Preacher Man' (the vicar's boy came round for a fumble)

'Je t'aime, moin non plus'. (Serge and Jane like to get down and dirty in the recording studio with lots of technicians watching)

'Ruby' (bloke went off to Vietnam, came back in a wheelchair and now can't cut the mustard, so his missus is off on the pull)

Yes, and if he could move he'd get his gun and put her in the ground.....

Well yes, I suppose I would too anagram but he was the one who lost control! Fickle bastard!

all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms
and I caressed her, kissed her
told her I'd die before I let her out of my arms

All right! It was him, all him - she was not a floozie at all, I lied, yer honour...

Once twice three times a lady

Does anybody know what that means?

Only 24 hours from Tulsa

Cruel

Don't think it describes that girl in the bar 24 hours from Tulsa!

nanaej - were you that girl in the bar?

'I drove all night, crept in your room to make love to you, Is that alright?

Are you kidding? Have a shower first if you don't mind and then you can wait till I've had breakfast!

anagram me and Gene been an item ever since!

Is he still alive?

It's interesting that the songs mentioned that feature macho attitudes towards women, such as Delilah, were popular and sold well. When the Dixie Chicks recorded their somewhat tongue-in-cheek song Earl's Gotta Die, there was outrage and some radio stations refused to play it. For those who never heard it, it was the story of a loyal woman who was distressed by Earl's treatment of her woman friend:

"He walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care."

The two women then decided that Earl's gotta die.

We're supposed to feel sorry for the poor dears. 'Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take any more'....Bless! Great karaoke song though.

B*gger, now I will have 'Why, why, why.....' going round in my head all day'.

What about cat ballou?

Chantilly lace
A pretty face
A pony tail, hanging down
A giggle when you talk etc.

Sung by the predatory sounding Big Bopper!
Creepy!

And what about

Zank 'eavens for leetle girls?

Dodgy!
