"Songs she sung to me, songs she brung to me" would also be unacceptable.
But still not at bad as Mary J Bilge's: (sic)
"Don't bring that hateration, holleration, up in this dancerie."
I'll leave the hateration behind. But I'm taking my bottle of hateraid with me onto the floor of the dancerie, in case I get thirserie.

*snicker* I stand corrected.  That doesn't mean the song doesn't still suck wang, though, 'cos even in Winnipeg, does the snow coming down in June have anything to do with saving the best for last? I mean, maybe if the snow came down in, like, April... but in June, ain't it just gonna piss people off? Dammit! Now I'm thinking about it too much! *stamp/huff* It's OK, Dwanollah, we'll still hail you anyway. Someone previously brought up George Michael. "Father Figure." Hideous. I just came off a forum on which someone involved in an incestuous relationship was talking about it being great and hugs and puppies and even though it started while I was under the age of consent I'm not a victim... This song came to mind. I'm going to be sick now. The brain bleach and the whiskey are on my desk if anyone else needs them. |

If you see the video, it is clear his intent was not to glorify pedophilia or incest. I'll admit the lyrics sound pervy, but the video clearly shows him living out the message in the song with a mature woman. YMMV.

I've never seen the video as I don't watch MTV (or currently own a TV). Going on lyrics alone, it's awful. Even if there is an adult in the video, it still sounds creepy.
Extremely unhealthy at best, no?

Oh, I totally agree they sound weirdly perverted. But when the album Faith came out in 1988, GM freely admitted that all of the songs were explorations of sexuality. IIRC, he said in an interview at the time that Father Figure was meant to describe a kinky relationship based on lust and love between a mature man and woman. I agree the lyrics are skeevy, but given the context of the album they are merely an exploration of sexual limits between consenting adults. And YES, they are horrible, which I guess is the point of this entire thread, so point taken. You have indeed found some horrible lyrics, Aurora! If you have to debate whether or not a song is about incest, then obviously the lyrics suck  |

Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone:
Highway to the danger zone.
Gonna take it right into the danger zone.
Dude, you can't rhyme "danger zone" with "danger zone!"

If you have to debate whether or not a song is about incest, then obviously the lyrics suck With the explanation, they make a little more sense. Thank you. I may be slightly twitchy, since, as I said, I was reminded of the song because of a thread on incest where the victim was defending her father's sexual behavior with a minor child. quiet giggle fit Am I the only one seeing a tee shirt slogan in the making here, or am I just weird? Wow, if old Neil had forced that rhyme any harder, he would have burst a blood vessel! Yea, brang is a word if you believe that, "She done jes' brang me a sammich" is grammatically correct  PS--The past tense of "bring" is "brought." Gad. Since you're rhyming on the "me" anyway, why was the forced bad grammar added? |

That's REALLY the skeevy part--when your lyrics can be co-opted to stand for someone's real pain re: incest. In that context, GM's lyrics can totally be seen as inappropriate (but then, this is a man given to publically exposing himself in restrooms).
If you're rhyming me with me, it isn't a rhyme. Which is why I suspect Neil busted a nut trying to rhyme something else. Altogether bad, bad, bad!
I know this is going to sound nit-picky, but the song by Madness called Our House always bugged me:
Our house, in the middle of the street
Wouldn't that block traffic?

When I was out jogging one night, in an area underserved by lamp posts, I actually ran into a house that was in the process of being moved on a big trailer and just left in the middle of the street but since that is way off topic I won't mention it . . .
Topic Drift course correction entered, Captain.
Make it so.
The songs she brang to me thing...doesn't the lyric continue "rhymes that sprang from me warmed the night?" In what language is "warmed" synonymous with "stunk up?"

"I Want Your Sex" was just plain stupid. TLC's "No Scrubs" has a line about "you can't get with me with no money." Just, gag. Another gag: "even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing." *shudders*
