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?
When I was in junior high/middle school we had a young farmer school bus driver that we practiced flirting with.
The song I bolded was getting a lot of air play that year and whenever it came on he blasted it as loud as he could! I still smile ever time I head that song. He was so uncomfortable with us and we loved having a young bus driver instead of the grandpa’s we usually had.
As for non PC songs, the prevailing drug culture was in all the songs at that time. The funny thing is, we sang along with many of these songs and had no clue what they were about, we just liked the music.
I LOVE that song and it made me so mad when they started making it out to be something that it wasn't. Most of the other songs really could be taken the wrong way or had hidden meanings but this was only a cute, funny song in which they were teasing each other about whether she should stay there and be warm or go home in the freezing cold. Very cute and innocent.
Okay, the very obvious un PC: Delilah. She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
Although nasty lyrics have been debunked many refuse to believe it
