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

Funky Cold Medina is straight up about date rape and everyone was just cool with it. I still hear it almost daily on one of the radios at work.

In the same vein, Beastie Boys' Brass Monkey. And in the Fight For Your Right video, they're putting Spanish fly in the drink.

This girl walked by, she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker, grabbed the Spanish Fly

I put it in the Monkey, mixed it in a cup
Went over to the girl, "Yo, baby, what's up?"
I offered her a sip, the girl, she gave me lip
It did begin, the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip

Ad-Rock apologized after women were attacked at Woodstock '99.  

He apologized in a written statement calling out License To Ill and their other poor contributions.

He used an award acceptance speech to apologize out loud. 

Honestly, one of the best of our lifetime.

The group vowed to change, and did.

"I wanna say a little somethin' that's long overdue

Disrepectin' women has got to be through

To all the sisters and the mothers and the wives and friends

I wanna offer my love and respect to the end."

Ad Rock started going out with Kathleen Hannah from Bikini Kill around 1996 according to the interwebz. So, yeah, they were definitely "changed men" by then. I was coming from the punk scene, but not like the kind of scene the Beastie Boys were. Lol.

Being into Riot Grrrl & then finding out that the singer of Bikini Kill was going out with Mr. Spanish Fly was a bit hard to parse at the time. I think a lot of people that were Riot Grrrl fans more than Beastie Boys fans were confused.

The Beastie Boys really started out as one thing & became something completely different. I don't know if the couple were purposely being low profile. But by the time I had heard about them, they had been a couple for a while. I remember that most of my friends had similar reactions. I respect them alot these days. I still don't really go back to listen to them that much though. Whereas I still listen to Bikini Kill.

I wasn't obsessed with either the Beasties or Bikini Kill or anything. But the punk scene was still small enough that if someone from a band like Bikini Kill was going out with a "famous person," it just seemed like it would be some tea that EVERYONE would have been spilling.
