In the Summertime - suspect lyrics

whisky_galore

Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

[Verse 1]
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you're old enough
To give me love
And now it hurts to know the truth

[Chorus]
Whoa, oh, oh, young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

[Verse 2]
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know that it's wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes

Bobblehats

It was sung with such gusto, is as if these things were overlooked

Wait until the OP learns the origin of the phrase "rock & roll". :eek:

Remember "Rock Around The Clock"? The first two verses are about dancing, but after that ..?

Bill Haley wrote:

When the chimes ring five, six and seven
We'll be right in seventh heaven
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too
I'll be goin' strong and so will you
...

When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then
Start a rockin' round the clock again
...

Pentecost

Smokie "Oh Carol" was all kinds of dodgy. Extracts are as follows:

Well, I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walking my way
So nonchalant I bet you get what you want but so do I
And I ain't losing' today
Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging
You were driving me out of my mind.
On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should find

Also from the same song

Well, if you're ready for this, when we started to kiss
She said, Hold on a minute or two."
Well, nat'rally I knew it couldn't be me
I said, Oh, baby, what's troublin' you?"
She said, I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean."
So we sat and talked for a while
And when we finally kissed, you know she didn't resist
And I must say she did it with style

In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry is the third best selling single of all time (phyical copies, not digital)

That's quite a feat for a track where there's a fella blowing into a glass jar as an instrument.

the only no.1 not to include drums i do believe,

never knew it was such a *MASSIVE* hit - set them up for life no doubt

Say Your Number

Heard Boom Boom Boom by Outhere Brothers on the radio a while ago, never realised how rapey the lyrics are.

Young Girl, was the first that popped into my mind, a couple of posters have already highlighted that song.

Sweat ( a la la lala long) by Inner Circle, could sound a bit rapey to a listener.

Dank Janniels

Whose that Irish wan who sang about the blanket on the ground? Promiscuous slut!!!

The trick is the music itself if it’s toothless, people assume that it’s harmless there are some fine christian bands who are heavy as fùck and wouldn’t get any airplay

"Baby, it's cold outside" has been a hit since 1949 but the cancel crowd caught up with it in 2009 and it was removed from radio in 2018.

Another ABBA diddler song:

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

But that one is about someone choosing NOT to, because she's a child. That's a bit different to knowing she's a child and doing it anyway.
