Oh no.

Probably a Ted Nugent song

I was just thinking the other day about how I went to a highschool with the panther as the mascot, and how disgusting it is that we used to play Cat Scratch Fever in band at football games...
- Stranglehold is another one. Yep, just a casual song about murdering your ex.
  
  A shame because I really like the effects on the guitar.
could be led zeppelin too. jimmy page had a 12 year old girlfriend that he locked in his hotel room
- 12?!?! That’s not a girlfriend, that’s a child he abducted.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2LQMElLoLs - Have fun spotting Tyrion.

I'd assume its a song about a father talking about how much he loves his young daughter. Perhaps I'm just an optimist.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Tyler#Family_and_relationships

See also Ted Nugents "jail bait".
- Tyler claimed their relationship was consensual and that he had immunity because he was her legal guardian at the time.
  
  In what world does that make any fucking sense? "It's okay for me to groom her because I only had absolute legal authority over her."
"I love when my girl is naked"

Oh heck
Think About Things by Daði Freyr is that - a parental love song for a literal baby.
- I love this song so much. An absolute banger every time I hear it.
- Daddy Freyr
'Sarah' by Thin Lizzy is one example.
https://youtu.be/M8jU2oQTy5Y

“Christine! Sixte- err . . Seven . . Eighteen!”

“When I saw you comin’ outta school that day - I mean, uh, out of . . your office complex . . . Where you’re a, uh, regional sales manager . . . I knew I got to have you!”

"My Sharona" by The Knack is literally this.

I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind

What. The. Fuck.
- Not only was My Sharona explicitly inspired by a 17yo girl the guitarist was dating, the name of their second album was "...But the Little Girls Understand"
  
  These guys were pretty on the nose about what they liked...
  
  Only band that was even more on the nose was Oingo Boingo with the song "Little Girls", though I guess the singer said it was meant to be some kind of sick joke intended to offend.
  
  Also a random coincidence, but apparently the parody song "My Bologna" was what kickstarted Al Yankovic's career.
god damn it but thanks for curing my ignorance of this

New drake song just dropped

He's never going to walk away from this beef and I love it. Certified lover boy, certified pedophile.

She was just seventeen, you know what I mean

When they released that song, Paul was 20, which means he probably wrote it at 19 or 18. Not too creepy.
- Yes, however, Ringo recorded "You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful and You're Mine" when he was 34. Which... ew.
- Plenty of people would disagree with you nowadays
Paul wanted to rhyme it with "beauty queen" but John came along and nixed that wholesome idea

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....
daddy ho

This song is about cheating, not pedophilia.

Daddy is her husband, which is really weird slang, but used to be common.
- Heh, "ho".
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!

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.

I am not trying to be edgy. Just a very recent revelation..I didn't know until that movie that Elvis was dating a 14 year old. So the only progress in this scenario we made as humanity from Mohammed to Elvis was one year. I guess that's progress?

But honestly, reading the lyrics of classic rock has really really hindered my ability to listen to some of my favorite bands.

Just a light example. The Animals. Love. Don't let me me misunderstood.... Comes off as domestic abuse apologist. Maybe I'm way off. I'll show myself out.

Nina Simone recorded it a year before The Animals. At the time, it was regarded as a metaphorical statement about the Civil Rights Movement.
- and it's fantastic. highly recommend.
So the only progress in this scenario we made as humanity from Mohammed to Elvis was one year.

Aisha was 6 when they married and 9 when "the marriage was consummated", so it's more than one year. Still not great but pedophiles won't ever completely vanish.
Mohammad to Elvis. Famously equivalent figures in their respective day.
- I mean...
Probably an unpopular opinion, but pedo or not, I've always hated Elvis and his music.

One of my favorite SNL sketches is about this. https://youtu.be/T9awpv5BnSc?si=hJ9doIUDzYof1Yt6

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 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.
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.

how has nobody mentioned "Girl... You'll Be A Woman Soon" ?

Was just coming here to mention that. I heard that song in a film or series I don't remember and thought it was sus then I paid more attention and oh boy oh boy WHAT IN THE FRIED FUCK .

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?!
- Here's a great documentary about them if you've got 90 minutes to kill

Into the Night by Benny Mardones wouldn't necessarily sound so bad, but then you see the video and hooooooo boy it is not okay, not okay at all.

The song by itself could be seen as someone reminiscing about teenage love, I.e. both parties are teens.

The video is quite disturbing though. They could have shown a teenage couple while the singer is the narrator. Instead they went full pedo.

Oingo Boingo - Little Girls

How did anyone think this was a good idea.
- Even Danny's bad ideas are certified bangers.

Eyeing little girls with bad intent

Yeah but in that case it’s intentional, because they’re painting Aqualung as a filthy, dirty old man.
- Thanks for explaining
- I can hear this

The little girl won't play with my ding a ling!

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.

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)...
Wasn't Sharona 16 when they wrote the song?

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 ;)

"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.

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.

Mark Little had a good bit on this topic, and Van Morrison.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5rlK7gLK6o

I don't know how to link to specific times, but the bit is around the 6 minute mark.

You can add a t=#m#s to the argument.

For your desktop link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5rlK7gLK6o&t=6m

Or from mobile (removing the share id argument, si=#########-######) https://youtu.be/y5rlK7gLK6o?t=6m
If you click 'share' there's a little 'at current time' button. It'll add a t=### to the end of your link which is just the timecode in seconds.

https://youtu.be/y5rlK7gLK6o?t=355

Works on desktop, idk if mobile is different.
- It is. The workarounds I’ve found never seem to work for me. Maybe I’ve just never entered the time code correctly into the url? But I dunno, I’ve tried a few times and failed every single time.
- Thanks! I will try this next time I need to post to a specific point in a video. Much appreciated.

Anybody ever heard Seventeen’ by Winger?

"winger"? I mean, hair metal sucks, but the names of these lower tier bands are just crap, it makes me think of the Patton Oswald bit about music videos. "Maybe I'll get some action from the guys of haircut 100 because I'm not getting any from the guys in Jackal with a y!"
- I mean, it’s the dude’s name, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- I have no idea that that rant was about lol It’s just a corny song that aged like milk
- Hair metal is the fucking tits. Gtfo with that :p

Also, not usually one to kink shame but the fact that one of the most mainstream fetishes is "school girl" is rather problematic to me.

I'll lead by saying that's not a fetish of mine, but I kind of get it, and in a way that has nothing to do with age.

If a person who is attracted to girls is surrounded by almost exclusively girls in school uniforms during several formative years of their life in which their sexual interests are initially developing, is it that strange they'd grow to find the uniform attractive?

Maybe the fact that I didn't go to a school with uniforms is part of the reason I don't share that particular taste.
- Yeah that's definitely it for me. Schoolgirl uniforms do nothing for me, but if my girlfriend dons some 2000-2005 styles it definitely does it for me.
- Personally I always thought it was just because it looked good, like it's stylish and esthetically pleasing. But now as an adult I realize that for a lot of people it is about that connection to younger girls. Gross.

hey 19...

his daughter, right ?

Depeche Mode: Little 15

There's an old polish classic song where the signer in one fragment sings that "she's very underage".

Welp.

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…

No no, see, it's gotta uhh, be ironic. It's ironic, they're ironically calling all the other pedo artists out, see. It's, no, see, it's because they're just being ironic and edgy as a tasteless kind of joke, see.

I dunno man. The point at which it becomes totally indefensible is the point at which the 30 or late 20's artist is sleeping or having romantic relationships with like, kids, basically. I dunno. I respect the right of artists to write songs about shitty or super insanely weird subject matter but goddamn these guys are just confessing that they're pedophiles straight up huh
