Brown Sugar by The Rolling Stones

Happy birthday sweet sixteen is a bit on the edge, I think.

Oh no MissA, I love 'Claire'!!!

I'm thinking bad thoughts about poor old Gilbert o'Sullivan now.

Oh many thanks. MissAdventure!

That made me laugh

Ooops

Firecracker123 What about Rolf Harris "I Touch Myself "

Firecracker123 What about Rolf Harris "I Touch Myself " hmm blush shock

Wow lindiann never heard that one before and to think I used to like Rolf Harris when I was young

“ Only Sixteen” by Craig Douglas. (I think)

We’d laugh and we’d sing and do little things, that made my heart glow

To be fair, he was meant to be only 16 also.

Goodness not Cliff but the police did investigate him lol

"Every Step You Take" by The Police - definitely a stalker's song and very doubtful, IMO....

Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen's words. Beautiful, but capable of interpretation.

The Rolf Harris horror was when he was a guest on Andrew Denton’s Musical Challenge on a Sydney radio show. I think.
It was never released as a single. Far too horrific. Even before his crimes were exposed

I do like the Divinyls' version though

Jake the peg with his extra leg Rolf Harris, every breathe you take the police

When I saw the thread title I had a brief trip down Memory Lane to when I saw Jagger first perform this in his pink satin jacket. I don't think I had the least idea what the lyrics were really about.

Young gifted and black by Bob Andy
Brown girl in the ring by Boney M
Black is black,i want my baby back by Los Bravos also by Belle Epoque.
Claire by Gillbert O was about his daughter.

I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha, look out girl, I'm gonna make you love me. Billy Swan

How about offending the curvylicious people?

"Hey fatty bum bum!"

What's interesting about this thread is that everyone does have a clear idea about what song lyrics are offensive

Not at all

Explain?

I like the Divinyls' song . I don't find it offensive.

I don’t find the lyrics to Brown Sugar offensive, he is describing how beautiful she is, how well she dances etc. I do find ‘Every Step You Take’ very creepy though.

Oh, OK then

The Beatles - Get Back.
I never thought of the words as racist until it disappeared from their rooftop concert.
But I found it on another link (I think)
