I love George Michael, but I thought that song was creepy when it came out. |

Depeche Mode’s A Question of Time. I love Depeche Mode but yikes. “Now you’re only fifteen, and you look good. I’ll take you under my wing - somebody should”. It continues on the same note.

What? Why? All of the songs about sex would totally fly today. The songs that wouldn't work today are the ones with outdated lyrics like Money for Nothing, the Lou Reed song, etc. And also the songs about underage girls. |

PP and actually, this factoid was my first thought re: Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again” sung by David Coverdale;
In an interview, Coverdale explained that initially the lyrics had "drifter" but as that was already used in different songs he chose instead "hobo", however the latter was changed again to "drifter" in the re-recorded '87 version, reportedly to ensure that it would not be misheard as "homo". |

Was this posted yet? The Beatles
“Well, I'd rather see you dead, little girl Than to be with another man You better keep your head, little girl Or I won't know where I am You better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand, little girl Catch you with another man That's the end, little girl Well, you know that I'm a wicked guy And I was born with a jealous mind And I can't spend my whole life Trying just to make you toe the line You better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand, little girl Catch you with another man That's the end, little girl Let this be a sermon I mean everything I've said Baby, I'm determined And I'd rather see you dead You better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand, little girl Catch you with another man That's the end, little girl I'd rather see you dead, little girl Than to be with another man You better keep your head, little girl Or you won't know where I am You better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand, little girl Catch you with another man That's the end, little girl” |

Think someone posted this, here’s the lyrics—Gary Puckett
“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 With all the charms of a woman You've kept the secret of your youth You led me to believe You're old enough To give me Love And now it hurts to know the truth, Oh, Beneath your perfume and make-up You're just a baby in disguise And though you know That it is wrong to be Alone with me That come on look is in your eyes, Oh, So hurry home to your mama I'm sure she wonders where you are Get out of here Before I have the time To change my mind 'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, Oh, Young girl” |

Goodbye Earl --by The Chicks (formerly Dixie)
When this album came out there was a lot of controversy about this song: Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends All through their high school days Both members of the 4H club, both active in the FFA After graduation Mary Anne went out lookin' for a bright new world Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl Well, it wasn't two weeks after she got married that Wanda started gettin' abused She'd put on dark glasses or long sleeved blouses Or make-up to cover a bruise Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce And she let the law take it from there But Earl walked right through that restraining order And put her in intensive care Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta On a red eye midnight flight She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan And it didn't take 'em long to decide That Earl had to die, Goodbye Earl Those black-eyed peas, they tasted alright to me, Earl You're feelin' weak? Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl Ain't it dark wrapped up in that tarp, Earl? The cops came by to bring Earl in They searched the house high and low Then they tipped their hats and said, thank you ladies If you hear from him let us know Well, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer And summer faded into fall And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand Out on highway 109 They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam And they don't lose any sleep at night, 'cause Earl had to die Goodbye Earl We need a break, let's go out to the lake, Earl We'll pack a lunch, and stuff you in the trunk, Earl Is that alright? Good! Let's go for a ride, Earl, hey! Ooh hey hey hey, ummm hey hey hey, hey hey hey |
