No nothing offensive about it. Gave YMCA a boost!

Still a good song, and the millennials are all listening to 80s and 90s music.

I figure a lot of the nasty rap and hip hop tops a lot of these songs.

But it really is about a divorced Father.

Many songs that sound creepy actually are not.

Context matters.

Now do Aqualung.

It was too risqué at the time to even be released as a “B”-side single.

“Bounce That D*ck” by Jenna Marbles. It’s one of the videos that got her cancelled.

Which is a shame considering all the examples here of songs with pedophilia and sexual assault. The whole song is about how men have been objectifying her since she was a teen and now it’s time to turn things around and let men feel what they put females through. Anytime a woman makes a song objectifying men (like WAP) people freak out.

What? No! This was an Afrocentric group whose music had positive uplifting messages. This song could absolutely be made today.

I cannot express how much I love that the MAGAs use this at their “rallies.”

Classic.

Almost any Rolling Stones song from the period when Brian Jones was in the band: Stupid Girl, Backstreet Girl, Under my Thumb, Yesterday's Papers, et al. Brian Jones was not very nice to women, let us say. By contrast, Mick was and is a perfect gentleman.

YMCA. If you didn't know it was by the Village People, would it make a difference?

I am 100 percent Asian and at the time, loved both these songs.
However I found the video of the latter song very offensive because the way the singers slanted their eyes with their fingers.

That song is about masturbation isn’t it?

Brown Sugar

Yes it does but unlike in the early eighties, now people are more apt to judge a song’s lyrics and when they do, the song along with the musical group can be canceled immediately.
