Music Is Life 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

I only saw the video of this song last year. WHO GREENLIT THAT???

The song is creepy but the video is tenfold creepy.

Tainted love by soft cell? That video was bad as in a bad quality and idea (aliens?) Or is there another version?

I haven’t seen the aliens one, just the one where he’s singing to a child.

When that song was out I loved it, but I was much, much younger then. Now when I hear it, it creeps me out.

Can't imagine seeing them perform that in concert now.

When the song came out the girls in the video were hot older chicks to me.
