Deathray 2,941 Posted January 22, 2018 Inspired by that Peter Wyngarde "Rape" song discussed the other day; Then there's this Devo song: this Black Eyed Peas song which was re-released as let's get it started a few years later for radio And this dodgy classic that was being played in offices up and down the country when 70s pedos were discovered!

None of the scorpions songs are as dubious/dodgy or anywhere near that as the opening posts contents. They were just a jobbing band.

Sadly that song like Oingo Boingo was never going to get across the intended point and feels as dodgy despite being presumably well meaning. It's sad that GG Allin got seen as an utter loon given his issues we're clearly borne out of serious abuse as a kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,170 Posted January 22, 2018 Serge Gainsbourg with his daughter Charlotte - Lemon Incest I think she was nine at the time. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serge was messed man And some songs: not posting links but you'll get why Rape Me - Nirvana - self explanatory Hit Me Baby One More Time - Britney Bitch - eh maybe Satisfaction by Benni Benassi or whatever his name was, the song that went like "push me, til I can get my satisfaction" and had the super sexist music video. its from like 2005 or something but there'd be a riot if it was released now.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 23, 2018 I disagree with virtually every song mentioned. And thus this thread. Brown Sugar prolly the only one that makes sense, and what a fucking shame that would be. That’s their best fahkin song! Punk/shock acts.....well, making songs like that is why they exist! So strike Allin and Oingo, and to a lesser extent Devo—which frankly isn’t even disturbing at all. BEP IS ‘now’ for fucksake. Delete this thread unless you deliver content. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,170 Posted January 23, 2018 I think the point is that there seem to be more and more stupid snowflakes looking for imaginary offensiveness, and wanting to ban everything where their own perverse little minds find it. There was a thread on Mumsnet the other day: To wonder why this song is still ok to play on the radio Jealous Guy Written and performed by a man who admitted he was violent towards women. Just that really. She went on to say: I agree that lots of musicians will have committed crimes. That wasn't my point. It is that the song seems to be excusing domestic violence because it wasn't his fault, he was just jealous, poor guy, AND was written and performed by a man who admitted being violent to women. It's the combination iyswim. Not everyone agreed with her, but I didn't have the heart to read on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,170 Posted January 23, 2018 Oh, that is a superb performance from Rhoda Dakar, but it's not something you want to hear twice! Traumatising. I used to have an album with that on, might have been a 2-Tone compilation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Deeper 21 Posted January 23, 2018 That one, if released today, would now get headlines and protests and so on. In 1971, no one cared. Speaks for itself, I think nowadays people won''t get this song and just take it literally. And last for two reasons: Gary Glitter singing 'Do you wanna touch me', gets a whole other meaning now. And with the whole #Metoo thing, male sexual self-worshipping/dominance would not fall good now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr_T 254 Posted January 24, 2018 I think the Ted Mulry Gang song "Jump in My Car" would be a tough sell these days. There are a few cover versions that would be ballsy. Gary Glitter or Rolf Harris doing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" wouldn't go platinum. But I would've liked Michael Jackson to fund his legal bills by putting out an EP with a cover of The Divinyls "Young Boys are My Weakness" on one side and "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" on the other. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
