I've just been listening to Young Girl (Gary Puckett) in the radio and the lyrics now sound decidedly dodgy? Apparently Tom Jones is no longer allowed to sing Delilah as it glorifies domestic violence. And Wives And Lovers (Jack Jones) makes me very cross.
Any more you can think of? I'm not seriously bothered - they're all cracking good tunes!

I wanna be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me

No, love, it's not the most important thing
Use your noddle, be more ambitious!!

I had to listen to my cousin sing this at her wedding as her husband was called Robert[Bobby]. She was 17 and pregnant their parents made them marry. I was a bridesmaid and somehow knew it would never last. They divorced about 2 years later. Both remarried but she never had any more children. He went on to have more.
She definitely had not used her noddle.hmm

I must say I sang along with it in my teens.
I only went out with one Robert (he was never a Bobby) but, sadly, it was not to last 😥

It was would be a lot more romantic if he drove all night, made her a cup of tea in the morning 😁
I'd be far more likely to be amenable, than being woken up in the middle of the night by someone creeping into my room!

Cyndi Lauper also sang this song.

It doesn’t have to be a man who drove all night, crept into your room and made love to you.

Ladies drive too.

I think he would probably make the tea in morning.
