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.

Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Skydog slaver know he's doin' all right
Hear him whip the women, just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good?
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should, oh no
Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doin' all right
You should have heard him, just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good?
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should, yeah
Brown Sugar, how come you dance so good?
Oh, got me quittin'

Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should, yeah
Now, I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet 16
I'm no school boy but I know what I like
You should have heard them, just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good? Oh, no no
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you, how come you dance so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a, just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

To me, Stray Cat Blues is worse:

I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you're no scare-eyed honey.
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
I can see that you're fifteen years old
No I don't want your I.D.
And I can see that you're so far from home
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet, bet your mama don't know you scream like that
I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that.
You look so weird and you're so far from home
But you don't really miss your mother
Don't look so scared I'm no mad-brained bear
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh, yeah
Woo!
I bet your mama don't know that you scatch like that
I bet she don't know you can bite like that.
You say you got a friend, that she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs
If she's so wild then she can join in too
It's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet you mama don't know you can bite like that
I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back

How about the lyrics to Magdalena? Totally gross incest
The Who's Quadrophenia "Who is she? I'll rape it!"

How was that Magdalena song ever okay? It is absolutely one of the most disturbing song lyrics I’ve ever read.

Yeah this is gross. I've only ever known one major fan of Frank Zappa. He was a super fan. And while I can't imagine him being crude at all (he was the lyrics writer for his band, and none of the songs were gross). I think he liked anything counter-cultural, and Frank Zappa was the king of counter culture. But yuck. These lyrics are awful.

I mean, yeah:

I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby, she's a Chippewa
She's a one of a kind

All my friends call me Bear Claw
The Village Chieftain is my paw-paw
He gets his orders from my maw-maw
She makes him walk the line
You can find me in my wigwam
I'll be beatin' on my tom-tom
Pull out the pipe and smoke you some
Hey and pass it around

'Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby, she's a Chippewa
She's a one of a kind

I ain't lookin' for trouble
We can ride my pony double
Make your little heart bubble
Lord, like a glass of wine
I remember the medicine man
He caught Running Water in my hands
Drug me around by my headband
Said I wasn't her kind
'Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby, she's a Chippewa
She's a one of a kind

I can kill a deer or buffalo
With just my arrow and my hickory bow
From a hundred yards don't you know
I do it all the time
They all gather 'round my teepee
Late at night tryin' to catch a peek at me
In nothin' but my buffalo briefs
I got them standin' in line

'Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby, she's a Chippewa
She's a one of a kind

Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die

“Indian Outlaw” by Tim McGraw.

I never liked Zappa's music and now I know why. He's a freak.

“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”

I just posted the Memphis song; this one also used to make me gag! Just god awful.

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”).

Yep. Songs by creeps who married teenagers. Blech.

If that creeps you out, look up the lyrics for “Memphis” by Johnny Rivers. It could be read as a song about a divorce and a kid who went with her mother or it could be read as a mother who figured out her boyfriend was a creep and took her six year old daughter to safety. Even as a little kid in the 80s (it was played frequently on the oldies station) it sounded creepy as hell to me even though I didn’t have any personal experience or knowledge of that.

“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”

Yeah, Lennon said he hated that song and wishes he’d never written it.
