Thinking of songs like

 

In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry

 

"Have a drink, have a drive ;)

 

Blue Mink.............Melting Pot

 

Take a pinch of white man

Wrap him up in black skin

Add a touch of blue blood

And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy

Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies

Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees :o

 

 

Young Girl by Gary Pucket & Union Gap

 

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 :o

To give me Love

And now it hurts to know the truth, Oh,

 

 

 

Billy J Kramer's 'Little Children

 

Little children, you better not tell on me

I'm tellin' you

Little children, you better not tell what you see

And if you're good

I'll give you candy and a quarter :unsure:

If you're quiet like you oughta be

And keep a secret with me

 

 

What others can you think of

The Drifters released a song in the 70's entitled 'Can I Take You Home Little Girl' Never heard the song but the title sounds very dubious!

Little children, you better not tell on me

I'm tellin' you

Little children, you better not tell what you see

And if you're good

I'll give you candy and a quarter

If you're quiet like you oughta be

And keep a secret with me

 

That's really bad :o :lol: The other's can be interpreted in various ways, but how the hell are you meant to interpret that? :o

Billy J Kramer's 'Little Children

 

Little children, you better not tell on me

I'm tellin' you

Little children, you better not tell what you see

And if you're good

I'll give you candy and a quarter :unsure:

If you're quiet like you oughta be

And keep a secret with me

What others can you think of

 

What are you? A tabloid journalist? You're quoting out of context!

 

I wish they would go away

Little children

Now why ain't you playin' outside

I'm askin' you

You can't fool me

'Cause I'm gonna know if you hide

And try to peek

I'm gonna treat you to a movie

Stop your gigglin'

Children do be nice

Like little sugars and spice

 

You saw me kissin' your sister

You saw me holdin' her hand

But if you snitch to your mother

Your father won't understand

 

He's just trying to get rid of his girl's younger siblings.

 

Mind you, the Union Gap single is well dodgy these days!

 

How about this one by The Coasters:

 

Young Blood

 

I saw her standin' on the corner

A yellow ribbon in her hair

I couldn't stop myself from shoutin:

Look a-there! Look a-there!

Look a-there! Look a-there!

 

Young blood, young blood, young blood

I can't get you out of my mind

 

I took one look and I was fractured

I tried to walk but I was lame

I tried to talk but I just stuttered:

What's your name? What's your name?

What's your name? What's your name?

 

Young blood, young blood, young blood

I can't get you out of my mind

 

What crazy stuff! She looked so tough

I had to follow her all the way home

Then things went bad; I met her dad

He said, "You'd better leave my daughter alone."

 

I couldn't sleep a wink for tryin'

I saw the rising of the sun

And all night my heart was cryin':

You're the one, you're the one

You're the one, you're the one!

 

Young blood, young blood, young blood

I can't get you out of my mind

 

Paedophilia and stalking in one song!

The Kinks - Lola. (ooo, a man is singing about a t*****, shocker, man the stations. :drama: )
Funnily enough The Kinks could probably sing 'Lola' more now than they did back then. I guess product placement in songs is not such a problem as it was before (e.g. Coca-Cola became cherry cola in 'Lola' but Bromhead's Jacket released a song 'Trip to the Golden Arches' which I think namechecked half the McDonald's menu!)
the drifters were possibly the worst offenders for dodgy lyrics. 'can i take you home little girl'... i mean! and they often talked about 'their baby'...lol

Claire by Gilbert o’sullivan, although he’s singing about baby sitting his niece but it’s not a song you hear played much today on oldie programs……………..

 

Claire

The moment I met you, I swear.

I felt as if something, somewhere,

Had happened to me,

which I couldn't see.

And then, the moment I met you,

Again I knew in my heart

that we were friends.

It had to be so,

it couldn't be no.

But try as hard as I might do,

I don't know why.

You get to me in a way

I can't describe.

Words mean so little

when you look up and smile.

I don't care what people say,

to me you're more than a child

Oh, Claire.

Claire

 

Claire

If ever a moment so rare

Was captured for all to compare.

That moment is you

in all that you do.

But why in spite of our

age difference do I cry

each time I leave you,

I feel I could die.

Nothing means more to me

than hearing you say,

"I'm going to marry you.

Will you marry me Uncle Ray?"

Oh, Claire.

Claire

 

Claire

"I've told you before"

"Don't you dare!"

"Get back into bed."

"Can't you see that it's late."

"No you can't have a drink."

"Oh all right then,

but wait just a bit."

While I, in an effort to babysit,

capture my breath,

what there is left of it.

You can be murder

at this hour of the day.

But in the morning this hour

will seem a lifetime away.

Oh, Claire

Claire

Oh, Claire

 

 

 

Oh Carol by Smokie

 

 

Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days

Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before

Oh baby you've opened the door, Oh Carol you can do it some more

 

Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss

She said hold on a minute or two

Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me

I said baby what's troublin' you

She said I'm not sixteen if you know what I mean

So we sat and we talked for a while

But when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist

And I must say she did it with style

I hate that song, just last night I had someone sing it to me! <_<

The Kinks - Lola. (ooo, a man is singing about a t*****, shocker, man the stations. :drama: )

 

On BBC Four, Suggs said they did a cover of a Jamaican cover of Lola, Jamaica, which being home to records such as Buju Banton's Batty Rider (below :down: ) - dropped the reveal of the song completely - and so changed the meaning and context of the song to a sweet reggae love song - that had nothing to do with you know what
