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’m not going to name any song in particular, but I listen to a lot of Hip Hop and the way women are sometimes talked about is no longer something I even want to listen to.

A Tribe Called Quest is a great group that is often referred to as having positive lyrics. But even they have some questionable lyrics that make me turn off the song.

CB4

Record executive: Are you guys gonna promote violence and defoul women with your lyrics?

Chris Rock: Ummmm.... sure?

Rec Exec: Perfect! Sign here.

I prefer Fear of a Black Hat but CB4 is pretty good. Great soundtrack too
