What was the song that enraged parents and clergy when you were in school?

[OmahaBlueDog]

In thinking of the threads on "Rapture Ready" and the song "I Kissed a Girl". I started thinking back to songs that have upset parents, teachers, and clergy through the years. When I was in HS, "Sex (I'm a ....)" by Berlin caused a stir, along with this up-and-comer named Prince. What was it when you went to school?

[Danger Mouse]

1. Marilyn Manson and gangsta rap were attracting the most negative attention.

[DarkTirade]

4. Yeah, that was my era too.

Still a few twitters about Ozzie from the people who were THAT far behind the times... but that was about it. :P

[ghostsofgiants]

77. Ditto.

[flvegan]

2. Beastie Boys, Madonna, Ozzy, Twisted Sister

Almost anyone with a cool video.

[LibraLiz1973]

6. Same answers for me

[Kire]

42. I was really afraid that Ozzy was going to come to my house and eat my poor dog.

Twisted Sister was also a no/no.

No wonder I was in a heavy metal band later on.

[fight4my3sons]

52. and Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth too

I had forgotten about Twisted Sister!

[Ptah]

3. Elvis

[csziggy]

47. Yes, Elvis! I was too young to remember what song but they did not like his pelvis

I think that is how I learned what a pelvis was. :bounce:

[yellowdogintexas]

107. Elvis as a persona yes, but not his songs themselves as I recall. If he had just

stood there and sung them, it wouldn't have bothered them much at all

[Corgigal]

5. I Want Your Sex - George Michael

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV5j_85FJ5s

in fact they are still fighting about it on the comment section of youtube..geee

[Mad_Dem_X]

62. Yep.

That, and anything considered Heavy Metal.

[MrsBrady]

114. yep here also n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. oooh - in my time, it was organum that got the priests all in a lather.

[LeftyMom]

8. A very catholic neighbor was very upset about Madonna's Like a Prayer video.

That's about all I recall, my parents aren't really the flipping out and shielding the kids type, and since my mom's not really religious and my Dad's a Easter and Christmas Catholic, I never really heard what the old men in dresses were fussing about.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

9. All of 'em.

I was raised in the 60s. It's simply the way it was. :cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. I don't recall parents en masse or clergy

getting riled up about any songs, or rock 'n' roll in general.

My mom wasn't real fond of the Fish Cheer on "Woodstock," though. :)

[hobbit709]

11. "Please allow me to introduce myself"

[Connonym]

12. I remember my mom freaking out over my brother's Alice Cooper and Kiss

If I recall correctly, she actually made him return an Alice Cooper album to the store because she was so disturbed by the cover.

[OmahaBlueDog]

14. I was never allowed to own a KISS album

My parents objected to the SS in KISS being styked like the Nazi SS. The irony here is that Gene Simmons is Jewish.

[flvegan]

18. I had a KISS lunchbox when I was very little.

I scared people.

[libnnc]

29. d00d, I was a member of the KISS Army

my mother bought me a membership

she thought they were just a bunch of guys in clown make-up

I was 6 yrs old (1976)

[flvegan]

35. Yes!

[fudge stripe cookays]

51. Aiyee!!!

I can remember my friend Staphanie telling me about the time her brother Greg was walking around in a BOC concert T shirt.

Then her mom saw him and screamed, "Oh my God, he's joined a CULT!"

[Sequoia]

75. I loved Alice Cooper!

I have quite a few LPs of his and my kid can't believe I was once "cool". The thing about AC is he totally believe in God and is quite the nice guy and well loved in Phoenix, AZ. A friend of mine remembers him coming over to her house when she was small and before he got famous. He and her dad would jam together.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

83. My uncle worked with the father of Glen, in the AC band.

My uncle worked with Glen's father at Goodyear in Akron.
My aunt said the kids were all told to pick out an instrument they wanted to learn.
Glen is dead now. RIP.
My aunt still corresponds with Glen's mother.


My aunt asked me in the 70s if I had heard of "Alice Cooper". I was shocked. This is a conservative Christian Scientist old lady. I happened to have "Killer" and put it on the stereo for her to listen to. She was not shocked by "Baby if you wanna be my lover". I told her they were pretty good.
Then they told me about knowing Glen's parents.

You never know who knows who in this world!!

[Rhythm]

109. I could perfectly do the KISS makeup on my friends and i by the age of 12

Our little crew went out like that for the '78 concert, and then again in full costumes on Halloween. It took us all WEEKS to make them. *L*
Yeah, Kelly, Lori, George, and i were all a bunch of weird little shits.

Still not as weird as the time as i came home from school and found my 18 yr old brother wearing Alice Cooper makeup and a towel for a cape, and standing on the couch singing into a hairbrush.

I STILL have never let him forget that one... 30 years later.






/edited, 'cause i can't brain today; i has teh dum.

[pokerfan]

13. Black Sabbath

[arcadian]

15. Some Judas Priest song about suicide

I think they went to court for it.

[OmahaBlueDog]

16. Better By You, Better Than Me

"Better By You, Better Than Me is a song by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The song was originally performed by the band Spooky Tooth and written by its keyboardist Gary Wright.

The song was the subject of the infamous 1990 "subliminal message trial" in which Judas Priest was involved in a civil action that alleged they were responsible for the suicide attempts of 2 young men in Reno, Nevada."


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_By_You%2C_Better_Than_Me

[suninvited]

17. The Who

Mama's got a squeezebox...

My mother was horrified whenever it came on.

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. All of them.

All we kids wanted to do was dance. We finally got our chance when we passionately explained that it was an expression of God's gifts to us.

Or was that Kevin Bacon.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

20. Louie Louie

[RebelOne]

56. And the lyrics were not even obscene but some tried to make them so.

www.xs4all.nl/~tdg/lyrics.html

[Resuscitated Ethics]

21. Bloodrock-DOA

Oh my goodness. I played this 45rpm record during music break in 6th grade and the teacher forced me to remove it after the first verse. Bloodrock played a big rock show on the football field at the local HS and a teenage girl was killed by a car crossing the highway after the show. It was HAUNTED! I think Alice Cooper might've been on the roster too but DOA ruled. I couldn't go and sulked for weeks. "I remember..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodrock

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. I still dig the shit out of 'DOA'

Got it saved at YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNyGNjf4EUs&fmt=18

(The header says "AM hit," but no AM station would play a song that's 8 1/2 minutes long. I first heard it on KERR, an old FM station that also introduced me to Cheech and Chong and Firesign Theatre.)

Great song by a crappy band — which, I believe, is the only rock band ever to reference the Andrews Sisters in lyrics. :D



Edit: Better-quality video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1RR6ZdVp3Q&fmt=18

[Resuscitated Ethics]

58. Woo hoo! Mutton chops and big fat leather watch bands

That was a real thrill hearing that again. Man did it ever suck. I am so glad I barely remember 1971.

WTF with the world Trade Center imagery? On paper that may have worked but my pea brain does not put those together at all. DOA was thirty years prior: we were getting red flowing blood in National GeoGRAPHIC and on the evening news from southeast asia, there were colossal car wrecks on 75 mph roadways with no airbags, there were riots in the streets and killer cops, the movies of the time were newly super gore, what a FUCKED up piece of trash history. Nostalgia is for the heavily drugged I shit you not.

"the pain is flowing out with my BLOOD!" Bloodrock was very much a product of their time and they do not mix with the jet-fuel fires of the trade center. That was odd. I had to listen with the images obscured.

[madeline_con]

22. What is "Sex (I'm a ....)" ? n/t

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. This:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=bXc8lxXP59c

[OmahaBlueDog]

30. It's a song from the early 80's

The song is sung by lead singer Terri Nunn. The refrain is sung as a duet with one of the guys in the band (I'm not sure which one) so the guy sings "I'm a man" and then she sings "I'm a goddess" and so on, down the list. This is your basic 80's European style synth music song, and the end ( after the lyrics) features low semi-mumbled/murmured/muttered utterances from the two singers as if they were making love. A lot of radio stations wouldn't play the tune (I lived in DC, where the stations were pretty broad minded at the time). When my friend (same age) saw Berlin at Grad Night at Disney World, the crowd kept screaming for the song, and they kept saying they couldn't play it.

The lyrics on paper don't do it justice. Go to Napster/ITunes/etc, or your library, and see if you can give it a listen. It's quintessentially 80's. I'll admit the song sounds dated today, although I still enjoy blasting it driving down I-80 at well above the posted speed limit (memory is a wonderful thing).



http://www.lyrics007.com/Berlin%20Lyrics/Sex%20(I'm%20A...)%20Lyrics.html

Feel the fire, feel my love inside you it's so right
There's the sound and the smell of love in my mind
I'm a toy, come and play with me, say the word now
Wrap your legs around mine and ride me tonight

I'm a man - I'm a goddess
I'm a man - Well I'm a virgin
I'm a man - I'm a blue movie
I'm a man - I'm a bitch
I'm a man - I'm a geisha
I'm a man - I'm a little girl
And we make love together

Slip and slide in your wet delight, feel the blood flow
Not too fast, don't be slow, my love's in your hands

I'm a man - I'm a boy
I'm a man - Well I'm your mother
I'm a man - I'm a one night stand
I'm a man - Am I bi
I'm a man - I'm a slave
I'm a man - I'm a little girl
And we make love together

Skin to skin, tongue to oooh! Come on honey hold tight
Come inside, it's a passion play just for you
Let's get lost in that magic place all alone now
Drink your fill from my fountain of love, wet your lips

I'm a man - I'm a teaser
I'm a man - Well I'm a virgin
I'm a man - I'm a one night stand
I'm a man - I'm a drug
I'm a man - Well I'm your slave
I'm a man - I'm a dream divine
And we make love together

I'm a man - I'm a goddess
I'm a man - I'm a hooker
I'm a man - I'm a blue movie
I'm a man - I'm a slut
I'm a man - I'm a geisha
I'm a man - I'm YOUR babe
I'm a man - I'm a dream divine
And we make love together
And we'll make love forever

[Mad_Dem_X]

63. Damn.

I don't think I've heard that song before. Wow. :wow:

[johnnie]

23. My parents only flipped twice

John Lennon "Working Class Hero"

And

The Sex Pistols "Bodies".

Working Class Hero was before my time really, but Bodies was there in the flesh.

And for you kids who think The Sex Pistols were "not really like you know, like really the Ramones and not really like you know, the true punks and like you know, there were so many before them 'cause like you know, they weren't that good 'cause they weren't like you know..the real deal"... Bullshit! You weren't there.

[bluesbassman]

25. Basically all of the stuff I listened to in the early 70's.

The one that stands out though was "Sweet Jane", off of the Lou Reed Rock N Roll Animal album. My mom hated that song. I think she took issue with the line "and life is just for dyin'". She never really listened to the whole thing to get what Lou was saying, just focused on that one line. One of my faves though.

[VenusRising]

26. 2 Live Crew

Me So Horny

:puke:

[OmahaBlueDog]

32. "The Crew" is one of my guilty pleasures

I first heard themm in college; then I moved to Florida in '88, when the Crew was in full effect.

[VenusRising]

33. I understand.

I liked it when it was out. Now I can hardly stand it. Funny how musical tastes change over time.

:hi:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

28. The Rolling Stones' "Let's Spend the Night Together"

I'm old. :-)

[alarimer]

31. Papa Don't Preach probably

Or the one where Madonna is fornicating in a Church! And yet the Earth did not fall out of its orbit and careen into the sun.

[Art_from_Ark]

34. Anything by Kiss

Kiss sucked, big time. I think the kids listened to Kiss just because it pissed off their parents.

[latebloomer]

96. They pissed me off, too!

But my boyfriend played them, not my child. At an ear-damaging level, while drinking up a storm.

Oh, I had such bad taste in men back then!

[KitchenWitch]

36. the "backwards masking" on Stairway to Heaven

[ulysses]

54. you too?

The 80s were so fucked up...

[zingaro]

37. My mom had a fit over John Cougar's Jack & Diane.

And he was Johnny Cougar back then.

The whole run off behind the Tastee Freeze Diane sittin on Jacky's lap he's got his hands between her knees made her gasp the first time she heard it. From then on, she turned it off.

[PBS Poll-435]

38. In the Mood - Glenn Miller

:rofl:

j/k

[Mad_Dem_X]

64. LOL

That evil, Satanic, Big Band sound!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

39. Pachelbel's Canon in D Major

yes, it was that long ago

[Manifestor_of_Light]

86. Pachelbel's Canon???

Since when would a parent object to classical music??

I blasted both rock and classical on my stereo and my dad yelled, "Turn it down, I can still hear it!". :rofl:

Then I told them how they should appreciate the fact that I was obsessed with classical music and busy in the high school orchestra, unlike most other kids.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

88. I went to HS so long ago

baroque was rock and roll

[Initech]

40. Gangsta rap - NWA, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Public Enemy, and so on.

I was in middle school when the Chronic came out and it was all the (out)rage at the time. Now I consider it to be a guilty pleasure.

[XemaSab]

43. That and Sir Mix-A-Lot

:D

[Lil Missy]

41. Some song from Woodstock, that spelled out F-U-C-K.

I can't even recall the name of it now.

[Maccagirl]

46. That would be (Feels Like) I'm Fixin' To Die Rag

by Country Joe and The Fish. It's responsible for my favorite memory from Catholic grade school (circa 1970) involving my teacher putting the album on (mistake #1), leaving the room for a minute (mistake #2) and having a classroom of 14-year-olds "picking up the ball and running with it"-so to speak. We got detention that day but it was worth it.

[struggle4progress]

44. Most of our elders were not fond of the Kama Sutra song from Hair

Sodomy, fellatio
cunnilingus, pederasty
Father, why do these words
sound so nasty? &c&c

So naturally my friends and I practiced singing it regularly

[mitchum]

45. Mom went ballistic when she heard The Feederz doing "Jesus Entering From The Rear"

just kidding
she's never heard it

[Oldtimeralso]

48. Lou Christe "Rhapsody in the Rain"

[old mark]

49. My dad hated Bob Dylan's stuff,

nearly everything that was on the radio.

He still might - he is 91 now, probably not too woried about that stuff anymore.

mark

[latebloomer]

97. My dad bought our first couple of Dylan records.

He was a lefty and read that Bob was, too. Unfortunately he rarely played the music- he was more of a Bing Crosby/ Frank Sinatra guy.

[behave]

50. in a godda davida hoh-neh

[Rhythm]

53. You and i must be about the same age, Omaha...

I remember hearing that particular Berlin song on the radio on the way to school one morning, and my mother going absolutely apoplectic.

I think she would have just keeled over and died if she had ever heard Prince's "Darling Nikki" *L*

[OmahaBlueDog]

78. I'm high school class of '83

"Little Red Corvette" was controversial; "Darling Nikki" would have caused parents to fall over.

[Rhythm]

108. I 'would' have graduated in '84.. but i slacked off, and

had to repeat a few key classes. Summer school wasn't my thing, so i became a "super senior', and finally graduated in 1985.

[av8rdave]

55. My parents actually believed that the Beatles were the leading edge of the communist invasion

They were royally pi$$ed when my brother bought some of their 45s.

[annonymous]

57. Darling Nikki by Prince

My mother went ballistic when she heard that song on the radio. My parents also objected to my brother's Motley Crue and Judas Priest albums.

[Shell Beau]

73. My best friend's name is Niki and she says that would be the

song that had her name in it. Nothing sweet and romantic.

[WCGreen]

59. The Fish Cheer on the Woodstock album...

[livetohike]

79. That did it for my folks too

:hi: Mostly anything I played my Dad would yell, "Turn that shit off". :-)

[bertha katzenengel]

60. Stairway to Heaven: when played backwards, it said things like . . .

"there's power in Satan"

They did it! They played it backwards for us, right there in chapel! I heard it with my own fundy-filtered ears!

[OmahaBlueDog]

103. The story I always heard on that one...

After the rumors started, the California State Assembly decided they had to look into this. The members of the assigned commitee spent the morning listening to several fundy ministers talking on the topic. Then, they attended a lunch where, so the story goes, Martini's were served. Then in the afternoon, the backwards listening took place, and several members claim they hear Robert Plant say "hear me now, o my sweet Satan"

Heck, after I knock back a few cold ones, I could probably get that out of the Barney theme.

[bertha katzenengel]

104. As I skimmed your post, at the end I saw "Barry." I agreed -

after a few stiff ones I too could hear Barry Manilow singing Satan's praises.

:hi:

[SacredCow]

61. The one that sticks out is "I Want Your Sex"....

In fact, one of the local TV stations did a televised open mic discussion of various topics using my junior-year class. The awful, suggestive, pop music lyrics were one topic. This one fundie was just all up in arms about the song (despite all accounts saying it was about monogamous relationships). One of my classmates posed the question, "Just to have a benchmark, exactly what do YOU listen to, sir?" His response was "Well, I like the R&B from the 70's.... Marvin Gaye and such..."

"Marvin Gaye????? SEXUAL HEALING Marvin Gaye?????" That pretty much ended the discussion right there.

[AwakeAtLast]

112. Yup, that was it.

Class of '88 right here!

:hi:

[southpaw]

65. Golden Showers by The Mentors

Listen little girl it´s near the hour
Come with me and take golden shower
Listen little slut, do as you´re told
Come with daddy for me to pour the gold
Golden shower, it´s getting near the hour
For a golden shower,
I´ve got the righteous power
All through my excrements you shall roam
Open your mouth and taste the foam
Bend up and smell my anal vapor
Your face is my toilet paper
Golden shower, I´ve got the power
For a golden shower,
I´ve got the righteous power
Our relationship I don´t want to spoil it
You are my personal toilet
Listen little girl
It´s getting near the hour
On your face I leave a shit tower
Shit tower, prune skin power
Smellin´ sour, it´s the shit tower
Golden showers,
It´s getting near the hours
For a golden shower,
I´ve got the righteous power



Interesting that the only reason anybody ever heard of this song is that it was singled out by the PMRC as an example of why music needed to be rated and labeled.

[Shell Beau]

66. I remember Wild Thing by Tone Loc kind of set parents off.

Maybe it was the line "Thats what happens when bodies start slappin from doing the wild thing" :shrug:

[bif]

67. ""KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHERFUCKERS!"

By the MC5.

[Shell Beau]

68. Oh and then there was 2 Live Crew's

"Hey we want some p***y"

and "Me so Horny"

[Sweet Freedom]

69. I can't think of anything, BUT

when I was in junior high, Cheap Trick came to town and the next day, all the kids were wearing their concert T-shirts (the ones that said "Cheap Trick" a gazillion times on the front.) Well, teachers didn't know it was the name of a band; they thought it was a statement. So, every kid wearing the T-shirt was sent home and no one was allowed to wear the shirt to school ever again.

:rofl:

[LynneSin]

70. I remember our church doing a letter writing campaign for a showed called "Adam & Yves"

Supposively back in the early 80s some network was going to have a show about 2 gay men called "Adam & Yves" and we were all to write letters about how wrong it was to have 2 gay men on TV.

I was kinda of a dumbshit back then plus, according to the letter I got back, there was never any plans for a show with that name.

[OmahaBlueDog]

76. I don't remember that, but I remember they lost their damn minds over "Soap"

"Soap" was the soap opera spoof featuring Billy Crystal as a gay character. To watch it now, it's laughably tame, but by the standards of the day, it was shocking.

[trof]

71. The Dominoes: "Sixty Minute Man" It was 'negro music'.

The recording used Bill Brown's bass voice, rather than McPhatter's tenor, as the lead. It featured the singer's boasts of his sexual prowess,<2> of being able to satisfy his girls with fifteen minutes each of kissing, teasing, and squeezing, before his climactic fifteen minutes of "blowing top".

Sixty-minute man, sixty-minute man
Look a here girls I'm telling you now
They call me "Lovin' Dan"
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty-minute man

If you don't believe I'm all that I say
Come up and take my hand
When I let you go you'll cry "Oh yes"
"He's a sixty-minute man".

The chorus was more specific:

There'll be fifteen minutes of kissin'
Then you'll holler "Please don't stop" (Don't stop!)
There'll be fifteen minutes of teasin'
Fifteen minutes of squeezin'
And fifteen minutes of blowin' my top

[latebloomer]

100. Great song!

[KamaAina]

101. But was it "fat-lipped"?

"Fat-lipped negro music" was the term used by Grandpa -- only he didn't say "negro'! -- to describe...

...wait for it...

...Elvis Presley. :rofl:

[Crabby Appleton]

72. Anything by Bob Dylan.

especially with swear words in them.

[Sequoia]

74. That song; "Everything is Beautiful, in its own way"

and, "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Put Your Hand in the Hand of Man" (who stilled the waters); "Israelite"...any rock sounding song with Jesus in it. Nowadays when I hear about Christian rock I just cringe.

[nomorenomore08]

80. My parents were always "concerned" about my musical tastes, whether it was rap in junior high

or metal in high school. Two songs I can remember my mom changing the station over (when I was 12-13) are Digital Underground's "Freaks of the Industry" and the Notorious B.I.G.'s "One More Chance" (that line about "swimmin' in your women like the breast stroke" :evilgrin:).

That was nothing, though, compared to when I got a little older (15-16), and the folks were confronted with the "nauseating" (my mom's words) lyrics of Slayer, and bands with names like Dismember and Dying Fetus. :rofl:

[DeepBlueC]

81. "Louie, Louie" was a scandal

The lyrics were for the most part unintelligible (I heard Randy Bachman talk about the particularities of tracks and recording and mixing of this song that resulted in the muffled voice recording) but it was RUMORED that the word "fuck" was used in it. We listened and listened many times before someone finally said; "THERE...he just said 'Fuck your girl all kinds of ways' and then when we heard it again we also sort of heard that too. I gather that some radio stations took the initiative to ban the song from airplay on the basis more of the burgeoning rumor than the lyrics heard or seen on songsheets (a coverup, we gleefully concluded). Maybe the Catholic Church got itself involved too. At that time they fell for all the kinds of shit that preoccupy the evangelicals these days.

[hvn_nbr_2]

92. Shhhh! We're showing our age.

Louie Louie was my first thought too.

[Z_I_Peevey]

82. I seem to recall the local radio station bleeped part of

Rod Stewart's "Tonight's the Night." "Spread your wings and let me (blank) inside," which if you ask me, made it much dirtier.

Likewise another local bleep on Paul Simon's "Kodachrome." "When I think back on all the (blank) I learned in high school..."

I guess the local morals police though we were too delicate for the word "crap." It was a simpler time.

[OmahaBlueDog]

102. Along a similar line

Peter Frampton had a mega hit album with "Frampton Comes Alive." He followed up with an album with him on the cover, open shirted and with the title "I'm In You." Suffice to say, it was not a mom approved album, and the title song pretty quickly disappeared from the airwaves.

[ceile]

84. Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" n/t

[Manifestor_of_Light]

85. American Bandstand.

My grandma walked thru the den while we were trying to get American Bandstand on the TV set Saturday morning, and she said, 'Y'all shouldn't listen to that nigra music'. The 1960s.

We all laughed at her behind her back. And I thought, "Yeah, Dick Clark sure is black".


When I was a senior in high school our class song was Imagine (1972). Apparently the high school teachers hadn't listened to it, so they missed the part about "and no religion too".

In Okla-by-gawd-homa, Imagine was "the most communistic, filthy, satanistic song ever".


:rofl:

[SarahB]

87. In general, Suicide Soultion by Ozzy

My parents though didn't care about that stuff or made a big deal about it.

[nomorenomore08]

91. One of the funniest clips I've ever seen (and it kills me that I can't find it anywhere)

was the DA or whoever that tried to sue/prosecute Ozzy talking about the "subliminal messages" in that song. Just the way he said it like, "Get the gun, get the gun, shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot!" cracked me up.

[ok_cpu]

89. Nevermind. Already Upthread n/t

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

90. Alice Cooper

Just about anything. He just scared the crap out our parents.

[datasuspect]

93. i kill everything i fuck

[nomorenomore08]

95. The chorus to that song is disturbingly catchy.

Then again, the same could be said for a lot of GG's songs. Whatever his various pathologies, you can't say the man didn't know how to write a good tune.

[Dukkha]

94. I remember my teacher hating "Another Brick In The Wall"

because of the opening line "We don't need no education" he would always say "That's a double negative so they obviously do need an education!"

[ikojo]

111. We used to sing the chorus as another PRICK in the

hall (referring of course to the principal)...the teachers didn't like that one either.

[undeterred]

98. Yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy

I had no idea why my mother thought this song was dirty.

[MrSlayer]

99. Hell, the PMRC assholes went after my entire favored genre. Metal.

It was really, really stupid and annoying. Dee Snider made them all look like the idiots they are.

[harmonicon]
