Noncey or Sexually Inappropriate Music

[Fez909]

If you're gonna do a song about incest, at least make it funky



e2a lyrics:

Keep it in the family
That's what papa told me
Keep it in the family
Peace and love and harmony

Keep it in the family
That's what papa told me
Keep it in the family
Peace and love and harmony

Boy you feel so good
It's alright with me
Please don't tell anybody
We've got to keep it in the family
You and me

Keep it in the family
That's what papa told me
Keep it in the family
Peace and love and harmony

Baby, baby, can't you see
Oh my daddy always told me
Keep it in the family, and harmony, yeah

Keep it in the family
That's what papa told me
Keep it in the family
Peace and love and harmony

This is the way it's gotta be
My daddy told me
Keep it in the family
Listen to me

Just one night with you
That's my fantasy
Please don't tell anybody
We've got to keep it in the family
You and me

Keep it in the family
That's what papa told me
Keep it in the family
Peace and love and harmony

Baby, baby, can't you see
Daddy always told me
Keep it in the family
Just between you and me

Baby, oh
You gotta say there's no denyin'
We've got to keep it in the family
You and me

Keep it in the family
That's what papa told me
Keep it in the family
Peace and love and harmony

Baby, baby, can't you see
Oh my daddy always told me
Keep it in the family
Listen to me

Keep it in the family
That's what papa told me
Keep it in the family
Peace and love and harmony
(fade with ad lib)

The video's pretty fucking dodgy too ...





And the song's shit

it screams 'put me in fucking prison' in letters so big you could read them from the moon....

Musicians shouldn't get contracts, they should get a fucking tag.

There was a Leslie Thomas novel where the 'hero' spied on under-age girls through a peep-hole and had sex with them while their sports teacher. Published 1970. It's difficult to look back and find any justification for this or for some of the songs in this thread. The French say 'autres temps, autres moeurs' but it's just not good enough. Really, with permissiveness (good thing) a certain amount of skeeziness slipped though the net (bad thing) and got away with it.

Yeah, Leslie Thomas. You used to see his books everywhere, now it's like he had never been.

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?"

The French love Serge Gainsborough. He's sort of like their Bowie

 

[Idris2002]

That says it all, doesn't it?

What is it about creepy, middle aged, drug-addled nonces that kids find so sexy?

It would be interesting to see some academic work on the prevalence/causality of morally adventurous sexualities with music/art/acting/fame etc... I wonder if it is more widespread than in wider society or if it's just that they get pinged?

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I quite like Charlotte Gainsbourg's later musical output. I've seen her questioned in interviews about that song, and (IIRC) it's as if she doesn't see what the fuss is about. But she has been in some 'boundary pushing' films as an adult.

 

[not-bono-ever]

There is something wrong with the whole concept of Bill Wyman when look at his cv and the fucking terrible carry on suggestive stuff the Rolling Stones corporation have put out.

Dunno where that came from but there you go

 

[BigMoaner]

She smells, just like a woman
She makes love, just like a woman,
But she takes just like a little girl.

Bob dylan.

Shiver.

 

[Raheem]

She smells, just like a woman
She makes love, just like a woman,
But she takes just like a little girl.

Bob dylan.

Shiver.

Not exactly a feminist anthem, but I think you've jumbled up the lyrics a bit.

 

[Orang Utan]

 

[danny la rouge]

Yeah, I agree with Raheem. You’ve got the lyrics wrong, with the result that you’re seeing noncy instead of vitriolic and sexist.

(she turns on the tears to get what she wants).

yes but still think it's creepily ambigious.

"
She takes just like a woman
Yes, she does, she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl "

"

I still think you’re reading it wrong. It’s about a woman who has an air of maturity (with her fog, amphetamines and pearls), who does all these things just like a woman, but who “breaks (down) just like a little girl” when it suits her. He doesn’t like that side of her.

It’s boomer sexism.

 

[andysays]

At least she smells just like a woman though...

 

[danny la rouge]

At least she smells just like a woman though...

Yes, I believe I’ll go sniff her again.

 

[Raheem]

At least she smells just like a woman though...

Your honour, the lighting was poor and the music was loud...

 

[danny la rouge]

It’s really one for the misheard lyrics thread.

 

[Raheem]

I bet there was an early draft where he put:

She smells. Just like a woman.

But decided it was too much.

 

[JimW]

They made a film about that, didn't they?

 

[danny la rouge]

Hey Mr Tambourine man, let me sniff your pants.

 

[danny la rouge]

They made a film about that, didn't they?

I thought it was a football film, so I never watched it. (Sent Off: a Woman).

 

[Orang Utan]

I was thinking of the recent Her Smell

 

[redsquirrel]

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues was what JimW's post put me in mind of

My post went well.

"I sing this song for it seems so wrong, why don't the GI love the Cong"

 

[bmd]

My post went well.

What post?

The French have a long history of incest denial. Various things are coming out of the woodwork at the moment, and Questions Are Being Asked.

I think it's the other way around. If we're talking about 1970s noncery, it was the recording industry that was packaging the goods, and they who were (presumably) turning blind eyes to the depredations of their stars on their audience members. And, I guess, if you're a performer with a thing for underage kids, you're going to be drawn to an industry offering unfettered access to same, and a "don't ask, don't tell" policy to the whole business.

And, yeah, I imagine there's a fair chunk of bohemian/free living factors in there, too, but there's a long road between "morally ambiguous" and "covering up child sex abuse".
