There was a band that performed at Disneyland for just one summer in 1981 named Halyx that wrote the song “Jailbait” with lyrics like this:
I, I, I said hey little cutie, I caught that look in your eyes, yes I did
Ah, ah, ooh, you make me weak, ooh, you give me butterflies
I said hey little cutie, looking for somewhere to go
You know you make me feel wanted, but not like it’s a honorable
Why don’t you wait till you’re older, yeah yeah, you’ll understand
Interestingly, this was written by the female lead singer about the recent introduction of age of consent laws.
They played that at Disneyland?!
Little girl don’t notice me
watching as she innocently plays.
She can’t see me staring at her
Because I’m always wearing shades.Art Lover by The Kinks
The cover by Lambchop gives it the perfect vibe.
Wasn’t Sharona 16 when they wrote the song?
The 1970s and 1980s in Europe were a terrible time in regards of pedophilia. In the aftermath of the sexual revolution and the decriminalization of homosexuality, some people thought everything goes and weren’t really stopped. Take people like Volker Beck in Germany who openly demanded pedophilia to be decriminalized or Daniel Cohn-Bendit, who wrote a text about having sex with a 6 year old (he was working at a Kindergarten at the time). And they were by far not the only people who went way too far.
Volker Beck later became a member of the German parliament (for ~20 years), a leading figure of green politics and is currently serving as the president of the German–Israeli Society. Daniel Cohn-Bendit later became a member of the European parliament (for ~20 years)…
The worst one in that vein for me is Little Girls by Oingo Bingo. It feels like it’s trying to be a parody, but never quite gets there and just comes across as super uncomfortable.
It’s definitely a satire but also yes very dark. The music video really makes it, for anyone who wants to see one of the most unhinged pieces of media out there in its full glory
That was…
You weren’t kidding. I don’t know how I’d never seen it before. I love crazy music videos, I click through old 80s/90s videos all the time. I guess that one doesn’t make it into many recommendations.
It’s definitely a parody, but a parody of something so uncomfortable that making fun of it puts a bad taste in your mouth, because you can’t really mock it without… ya know… remembering that the music industry was (and probably still is) full of pedos, and that such things used to be perfectly acceptable…
Like singing along with Money for Nothing.
"You’re so hot, teasing me So, you’re blue, but I can’t take a chance on a chick like you That’s something I couldn’t do
There’s that look in your eyes I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild Ah, but girl, you’re only a child"
I guess ABBA singers did the right thing?
Probably only because their wives were, like, right there.
Me dancing at a Mexican party when I stop and listen to the lyrics like why are we dancing to this and my wife says just don’t listen too closely
Colegiala? Yeah, ew.
Well, now you’re only fifteen, And you look good.
I’ll take you under my wing, Somebody should.
They’ve persuasive ways, And you’ll believe what they say.It’s just a question of time, And it’s running out for you.
It won’t be long until you’ll do, Exactly what they want you to…David Bowie and Lori
Eyeing little girls with bad intent
I can hear this
And I can see his eyes.
Yeah but in that case it’s intentional, because they’re painting Aqualung as a filthy, dirty old man.
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire
jesus fucking barfing christ that’s fucked…
I still remember hearing that one for the first time on the radio like 6 years ago. Immediate wtf reaction, like how is it still being played?
If you watch the music video, he doesn’t mean a literal little girl or daddy. But it sure sounds gross!
daddy ho
This song is about cheating, not pedophilia.
Daddy is her husband, which is really weird slang, but used to be common.
Virgin Killer album cover 🤮
Just the fact that a whole lot of people decided it was a good idea and no one stopped to think how fucking bad it was.
It’s perverts all the way down.
There’s an old polish classic song where the signer in one fragment sings that “she’s very underage”.
Welp.
The beachboys: “What is this a crossover episode?”
Polly wants a cracker…
Guess you should… y’know… get off her first?
I once heard this song described as “a song about the exact thing you were hoping the song wasn’t about”.
Still slaps somehow tho, which is fucked up.
How did anyone think this was a good idea.
Even Danny’s bad ideas are certified bangers.
Gary Puckett & The Union Gap would like to have a word… (Young Girl, 1968)
(Felt this post, so many songs I used to love, and with worse than questionable lyrics :( )
Legit the first song I thought of. Hello, fellow old.
My face when: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iKNe9vd3Abk :D
Anyways, hello back, fellow old ;)
