Isn't this meant to be a silly song though?

NP. Yes! I don't see the issue.

Beastie Boys "Brass Monkey" is about roofieing girls and raping them.

FFS. No, it is not. Have you never heard of Spanish Fly?

Were you not paying attention when Naughty By Nature defined and explained it in detail in the song?

No, lol...I just kinda heard the chorus on that one...that's all I processed..."something something something something O.P.P., yeah, you know me."

This is on you for being an incurious dumbass.

Having fun on this thread, are you?
Nobody at home to call dumbass?

This song makes me laugh. It’s too goofy to be threatening.

Nothing wrong with that one.

No, but you do know have to know the context otherwise it can feel weird.

It’s outdated to say colored girls, no?

It was the appropriate term at the time, so there's no point in going back in time and saying that someone was wrong for using the appropriate term at the time a work of art is written.

Bla bla bla. I’m not PP but the point is that these are “lyrics that hear differently today.” Just because you don’t personally think so doesn’t make your opinion the majority

There’s a song that used to always play on the oldies radio station when I was a kid called “lightning striking again” or something like that, and it’s sung by what sounds like an old man. In the background of the verse, there were women singing what sounded a lot like “Let me out! oooh~”. The lead up to the chorus repeated something like
Dude: I can’t stop
Woman: (STOP!)
Over and over. Creeped me out!
