My favorite stanza:

When it comes to females
Cosmo ain't got nothin to do with my selection
36-24-36
Only if she's 5'3"

Baby Got Back

Oh my god
Becky, look at her butt
Its so big
She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends
Who understands those rap guys
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute
I mean her butt
It's just so big
I can't believe it's so round
It's just out there
I mean, it's gross
Look, she's just so black

*rap*
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, rump of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy

I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's Sweat,Wet, got it goin like a turbo vette

I'm tired of magazines
Saying flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back

So Fellas (yeah) Fellas(yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the butt (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt
Baby got back

(LA face with Oakland booty)

I like'em round and big
And when I'm throwin a gig
I just can't help myself
I'm actin like an animal
Now here's my scandal

I wanna get you home
And UH, double up UH UH
I aint talkin bout playboy
Cuz silicone parts were made for toys
I wannem real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mixalot's in trouble
Beggin for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knockin these bimbos walkin like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas
I wanna get with ya
I won't cus or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna --
Til the break of dawn
Baby Got it goin on
Alot of pimps won't like this song
Cuz them punks lie to hit it and quit it
But I'd rather stay and play
Cuz I'm long and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on

So ladies (yeah), Ladies (yeah)
Do you wanna roll in my Mercedes (yeah)
Then turn around
Stick it out
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back

(LA face with the Oakland booty)

Yeah baby
When it comes to females
Cosmo ain't got nothin to do with my selection
36-24-36
Only if she's 5'3"

So your girlfriend throws a Honda
Playin workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that
Cuz your waste is small and your curves are kickin
And I'm thinkin bout stickin
To the beanpole dames in the magazines
You aint it miss thing
Give me a sista I can't resist her
Red beans and rice did miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
Cuz his girls were on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And pulled up quick to get with 'em
So ladies if the butt is round
And you wanna triple X throw down
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT and kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back
Baby got back

A great song, one of their best even if you can make it past the lyrical content…..

Who are the kinks?
Never heard of it.

The Kinks. They were hugely popular during the 80s. Their music was kinda rock and roll, kinda punk rockish.
They had songs that you may have heard or heard of.
Like “Destroyer” (Paranoia Big Destroyer.) Or the tune Lola (Lo Lo Lo Lola.)
Their song “Come Dancing” was possibly their biggest hit single.

The Kinks were more of a 60s band. Or rather, they started out with big UK hits in the 60s. Once the 70s and 80s came around, their success switched a bit more over to the US.

Since The Kinks were originally a UK band the lyrics to Art Lover at the time (81-82) aren’t really that bad.
Even though the lyrics are from a man who likes to sit at the park on Sunday afternoons watching all the little girls playing, he does sing that he is not a dirty old man who wants to take these girls from their Mothers.

He likens his obsession staring at little girls as a form of “Art.”
So when he sings for them to “come to Daddy,” he is likely referencing his desire to be a Father….

I didn’t know this existed until it ran over the credits in Mad Men for one episode. So yikes.

I thought she'd be good to go with a little Funky Cold Medina
She said, "I'd like a drink, " I said, "Ehm, okay, I'll go get it"
Then a couple sips she cold licked her lips
And I knew that she was with it

This the song "Funky Cold Medina". It's about a love potion.

Watch the music video. It's very funny!

“She’s just 16 years old, leave her alone, they say” and that leads into lyrics about implied kidnapping and underage predatory sex.

Yes, this was the first song I thought of when I saw the thread title. Someone posted the entire thing earlier. <shudder>

I had never listened to the lyrics of that song before. And omg the video. The singer is full-on creep (but also what's with the guy with the beard and suspenders who answers the door at the start? I was born in '73 and I do not remember people/dads looking like that, LOL). Link, if anyone dares watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWHjJt4833I.

Ewww! I agree - never actually listened to that either or even knew the title. Video is creepy as hell.

Wow I remember that song. Never listened to the lyrics. Yes the video - omg esp the end!!

Dont stand so close to me- The Police

Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside him, there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking, she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Art Lover was originally thought to be about a pedophile who sits in the park and stares at the little girls.

In 1981 the BBC would not allow it’s release.

But it really is about a divorced Father.

Many songs that sound creepy actually are not.

Context matters.

Teen Angel. In the 60s it was romantic to die in a car crash. No seat belts no air bags.

The fixation with 16 and 17 year olds in early rock n roll is a little creepy. That one, Sweet Little Sixteen, the first lyric to I Saw Her Standing There (“well she was just 17 if you know what I mean”).

I don’t disagree with you. For context though, Lennon and McCartney wrote I saw Her Standing There when they were about 14. But yea, without that background it does sound creepy.

It was in 1962, so John was 22 and Paul was 21. But yeah — considering that I’m sure 17 was considered the age of consent, it wasn’t *that* creepy at the time. They also probably just wanted something that rhymed. But maybe Paul should change the age at this point when he sings it …

Sixteen is the age of consent in the UK. And it was the same in the 1960s.
