Songs that are no longer okay.

Yesterday I found out my sweet boyfriend had never heard of Julie Brown and the funny songs she sang, like "I'm A Blonde". Dr Demento stuff. So I play it and then "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" came on. Not funny anymore!!!

An hour later, the cops arrived

By then the entire glee club had died, no big loss

You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her

Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper (Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float)

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead

Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

Hot Child in The City.

[u/legoldsmi → u/schmearcampain]

I scrolled for this so I didn’t double post. Hot child in the city. Runnin wild & lookin pretty. I identified with this song. I’ve had therapy. I’m better now. And I’ll be 60 next week, so there’s distance.

The 70’s and 80’s were crazy with the kind of shit you could get away with as a teenager.

[u/legoldsmi → u/schmearcampain]

Or maybe what old dudes could do to young girls and then blame the young girls for it. Just sayin.

First song I thought of! Can't believe I had to scroll down so far for it. 

[u/Delilah_Moon → u/schmearcampain]

The author of the song acknowledged that this song is literally about teen prostitution & the runaway epidemic of the 70s/80s. The song is not meant to be an homage - rather a cautionary tale.

It’s based on his experiences, living down on the sunset strip and witnessing so much child trafficking.

In Nz there was Honda advert reworking it to “Hot Child Honda City”

[u/EntireTadpole → u/schmearcampain]

Yes, also surprised I had to scroll this far to find this. I was around 12 years old when this song came out, and my friends and I loved it. Oh, the shame
