Who the fuck do the seekers think they are? Asking some nice, down to earth, plain Jane type girl to put on makeup and start acting like ALL the other girls? Fuckers.

1. Well considering
The original song and file "Georgy Girl" is FORTY fucking years old, the phrase "product of it's time" springs to kind. And I find people who get offended by minor stuff like this offensive.

2. Those damn Seekers...
Really. Pushing their own ideas of physical attractiveness on that poor Lynn Redgrave.

3. I always found it condescending and was somewhat ambivalent about it
speaking as a "tomboy" of the techgeek persuasion rather than the athletic one.

The message of the song is get yourself all dolled up to please other people (i.e. so men will notice you.) Ugh. That just makes me squirm.
