Noncey or Sexually Inappropriate Music

Tbf he does ask her if it's alright. But probably only cause it rhymed.

Only after the event. Drove, crept and woke, all past tense. A bit late to ask if it's alright after the dirty deed has been done. Awkward to tell someone you don't fancy it if you wake up and find someone has crept in your bed.

"Maybe I should have called you first" Yeah, he really should.
 
To be fair Orbison didn't write the song (though it was written for him), never released it during his lifetime and it was first made succesful by a female singer (is Lauper's version less creepy because she's a woman?)

Tom Waits is one of my favourite performers though these four lines of Downtain Train are particularly creepy:

I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way
 
Love me some Elvis too, but this is somewhat problematic

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice
And then you run
Little sister, don't you
Do what your big sister done

Well, I dated your big sister
And I took her to a show
I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out of the door

...

Ev'ry time I see your sister
Well, she's got somebody new
She's mean, and she's evil
Like that old Boll Weevil
Guess I'll try my luck with you

...

Well, I used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned-up nose
But you been a-growin'
And baby, it's been showin'
From your head down to your toes

Starts sleazy, get's progressively more grim.

I always assumed it was meant to be addressed to his OH. Like a saucy version of Driving Home for Xmas. I've never paid close attention to the lyrics, though.

I'll give him the driving all night - a little pressurising, perhaps, but it shows commitment. But the creeping and the making love - really would advise asking if that's alright beforehand rather than afterwards.

Beforehand the way I interpret it. "Just waking you for a quick game of conceal the cucumber. You up for it?"

The idea that he's actually saying "You may have noticed me on top of you last night. Let me explain..." seems a bit implausible, IMO.

Rubbish song, though.

Love Sparks, but recently picked up a copy of Terminal Jive and the lyrics to this song Young Girls are worrying :(

I like their arms
I like their legs
I like their lips
Their widening hips
Their radios

They live at home
They don't have cars
I have a home, I have a car
They like that, they like that

Young girls haven't seen the whole night
And they will hold you, though it might not be tight
And they will kiss you, though it might not be right
'Cause they're young girls

Young girls, I don't care what they say
I want to hug you each and every day
I feel you, I don't care what they say
Young girls

I like their talk
Small, little words
I like their style
Less of the guile
They're straight with you

Don't analyze
Don't analyze
You've seen too much
I like the touch
Of young girls, of young girls

Young girls haven't seen the whole night
And they will hold you, though it might not be tight
And they will kiss you, though it might not be right
'Cause they're young girls

Young girls, I don't care what they say
I want to hug have you each and every day
I feel you, I don't care what they say
Young girls

Young girls, I don't care what they say
I want to hug have you each and every day
I feel you, I don't care what they say

I feel you, I don't care what they say

Sparks are the greatest band in history, possibly. So I might be biased. And the Young Girls lyric is pretty impossible to excuse.

But, in mitigation, I think the listener is supposed to understand that the narrator is a creepy dick. Trouble is, it's hard to be sure and, even if that's right, the lyric is, to say the least, way too blasé. Plus, it doesn't help Sparks' case that, at the relevant point in their career, they were marketing their music at nightclubs.

I'd be interested to know if they've ever commented on criticisms of the song.

Love this song. Can't have been listening to it properly, though, because I figured it was an S&M thing.

Well, maybe we need a separate thread for grammatically illiterate music then.

'I crept in your room and made love to you - is that alright?'
'Yes, ok then, go ahead'
:confused:

Sounds like his policy is ask forgiveness not permission .......
 
OK, you're right it's 'to make love to you' not 'and made love to you' - not as damning maybe but it's still ambiguous and could have been said before or after 'the act'.

There's another issue here, though: the word 'crept'. That's synonymous with trying to make as little noise as possible. If he intended to wake her from her sleep in order to obtain consent prior to the making love, why was he creeping? It reminds me of this exchange from Father Ted:

Ted: "I'll just knock very quietly"
Dougal: "Oh right, so you won't wake them up"
Ted: "No...I have to wake them up so they'll let us in"
Dougal: "Well shouldn't you just knock loudly then?"
Ted: "Right...good point"

So however we read the grammatical tense, the protagonist isn't exactly covering himself with consent-seeking glory here. 'Oh ... you awake, love? Ahem Well, yes - I was just about to stop creeping about, switch a light on, alert you to my presence without startling you and explain my saucy yet respectful hopes about what would transpire. Er ... yes, before I actually reached the bed - that's right.' :hmm:

Flatmates.
 
This...





...led me to this arseclenching atrocity.



Frontman Trace Cyrus told Kerrang! magazine that this song is "about wanting to be in a relationship with a girl who’s underage so bad and how age limitations don’t let you do that."

My (female) French colleagues insisted to me that this was a charming song about a young girl's, and I quote, "platonic love for her father figure".

To which I replied: "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
