Songs that shocked you...
...and not in the "it's shockingly bad" way.
![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AypvuzhVlrc Lana Del Rey- Off to the Races The girl in the song...she's a teenager...and she's having sex with an older man who's probably her dad.

I think If You Seek Amy by Britney was so blantant in it's innuendo, that was pretty shocking, IMO.

My Game of Loving by White Noise.
Not really shocking but it's such a great song that you tend to forget about the orgasm solo halfway through and that can make car journeys a bit awkward when giving your nan a lift to the shops. |

'Whistle' is one for me too - that's MUCH more blatant than S and M which was bleeped to hell by radio 1 when released.
'212' shocked me a little the first time because I hadnt heard that word used by a woman in a song that was played on the radio before, or in such a positive context. I know it was bleeped on the radio but still. Eminem's 'Stan' the first time I heard it too. Wow... |

An old one, but I remember watching open mouthed when The Divynyls performed 'I Touch Myself' on TOTP.

Katy Perry- I Kissed A Girl not in the least shocking but for a mainstream pop song raised a few eyebrows

Lykke Li singing "I'm your prostitute" in Get Some.
Daydream in Blue by I-Monster - I only realised that the vocodered part has some very, erm, interesting lyrics a couple of years ago! |

How did you come to that conclusion
![]() This is no more shocking than her other lyrics. about a young girl shacked up with a dodgy older bloke: Quote:
My old man is a bad man "Old man" can mean either male partner or fatherBut I can't deny the way he holds my hand ...He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart (and she wouldn't say "old man" if he was close to her age): http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/old+man Quote:
Light of my life, fire of my loins Be a good baby, do what I want "Lolita" (twice filmed) about a creepy old guy in love with a young girl (just like LDR's song): http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...t-2290351.html Quote:
God I'm so crazy baby I think the "Little harlot" line means the woman singingI'm sorry that I'm misbehaving I'm your little harlot, starlet Queen of Coney Island Raising Hell all over town Sorry 'bout it the song is in a sexually relationship at a young age (16? Younger? ).Well, that's my interpretation of the song.... |

about a young girl shacked up with a dodgy older bloke: "Old man" can mean either male partner or father (and she wouldn't say "old man" if he was close to her age): http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/old+man This is a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita" (twice filmed) about a creepy old guy in love with a young girl (just like LDR's song): http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...t-2290351.html I think the "Little harlot" line means the woman singing the song is in a sexually relationship at a young age (16? Younger? ).Well, that's my interpretation of the song.... But equally it could be about a parasitic relationship in which neither person can function without the other and are living a hedonisitic existence in which the relationship will ultimately fail. |

It's the same conclusion as mine but its meant to be obvious as are all the other songs its a reference to forbidden relationships and the excesses of money and living the highlife and as long as she is not like Lolita (12) then its not in the least shcoking many younger people are drawn to older people and she paints it ina seductive sensuous manner rather than a shocking one per say but we all have different hock thresholds i suppose
![]() was a girl I fancied who said her ideal man wasn't Brad Pitt or Gary Barlow but Robert De Niro, so I suppose you're right. The first time I heard P.J. Harvey's "Sheela-Na-Gig" I was shocked- I'd never heard anything racier than Madonna on TOTP, so hearing her sing so frankly and so well about, er, "woman's bits" was a bit embarassing (but I also realised how good a singer she was, even back then ).

Quite a common one I expect, but I did not realise at first that Cee Lo Green's - Forget You actually sounds like this when not played on the radio.

Psyche by Killing Joke, the brutality of the lyrics but an amazing piece of music!

![]() even kiss a girl in the video! ![]() Meanwhile, Christina Aguliera's "Beautiful" video, six years earlier, actually had a scene of two men kissing (which would have been somewhat risky for a US singer, given there's a much stronger anti-gay rights lobby there than in Europe). I didn't have any problems with the video, but when we discussed at work the next day, one of the men there said he thought the scene was "disgusting". Well, I politely pointed out that I didn't see anything wrong with gay men having romantic relationships or seeing it in a video. He mumbled something about us having different opinions and then we changed the subject. |
