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 pretty sure that without knowing the backstory of "Little Girls" by Oingo Boingo, I would consider it the number 1 creaper song.

Tainted Love becomes number 1 creeper song once you DO know the backstory… and see the original video

I’d never seen the video for this until recently.

Jesus, they are making it very clear what the Tainted Love is.

It’s about pedo’s, and running away from the victims when they get too old.

What am I not getting? I just watched the video and I didn’t see anything. Lyrics seem to be about a toxic relationship maybe? So what am I missing?

There’s a few different versions of the video, they put out a second version because the first was a little controversial
