No kiddin'
I'm ready to fight
I've been lookin' for my baby all night
If I get her in my sight
Boom boom! Out go the lights!
No kiddin'
I'm ready to go
If I find her boy, don't you know
If I get her in my sight
Boom boom! Out go the lights!
Well, I thought I treat my baby fair
I just found out she don't want me here
If I get her in my sight
Boom boom! Out go the lights!
I never felt this mad before
When I just found out she don't want me no more
If I get her in my sight
Boom boom! Out go the lights!

Yeah
I've thought about this while listening to some of my favorite 70s era rock music. I can see moms burning the records today.
Like this one: "I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan, why don't you hop inside my car? I've got pictures, candy, I'm a love of a man, I can take you to the nearest star...." (Ides of March)
Or:
"Children play in the park, they don't know, I'm alone in the dark, even though...." (Chicago)
Or:
"Young girl, get out my mind. My love for you is way out of line. Better run girl, you're much too young girl....you're a baby in disguise...I'm afraid we'll go too far" (Gary Puckett)
Or even the Rolling Stones favorite "Brown Sugar".
Most of our music was pretty harmless, but I wonder if these would fly today with the morality police. Of course, compared to rap lyrics they're nothing, but still. We sure never thought twice about the lyrics, lol.
Can you think of any others that would sound kind of "off" by today's standards?
I'm 55 and in the 70's as a young child, I found that Gary Puckett song creepy. Him telling her to "Run Girl, you're much too young girl yet singing it as a loving song while he attacks her? Creepy"
The heart song in the 80's "All I wanna do is make love to you" was dangerous and creepy for Teens to hear. I was about 14 at the time it came out. It describes a hitchhiker who has already have fallen in love with this stranger. I loved the beat though. For decades, Nancy's refused to do this song on stage

It appears that you didn't understand the meaning of the song. Gary was singing "you better run girl, you're much too young girl". He was telling her to stay away.....
Sitting on the park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot is running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Hey Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Hey Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Whoa, Aqualung
Good catch. Now that's one I always loathed. Disgusting lyrics. I do like Jethro Tull, though.

Whoa! Now that's a great example! Yikes....
