Sexy Song Lyrics

Re: Re: Re: A real oldie that got banned in Boston

The Shag can be a very sexy dance, Sher, if you've never seen it . When a couple is really good, i think it is sexier than the Tango.

It is still danced at Myrtle Beach and twice a year a loosly organized group called the Society Of Stranders (that stretch of SC beach is called the Grand Strand) a group of all ages dedicated to the Shag, decends on Myrtle, partying for a week. It's quite a show.

More than you wanted to know,

Teach

Never seen it? Even a Baptist girl couldn't grow up in South Carolina without be exposed to one or two unsavory influences.

I don't know whether the Isley Brothers were ever banned in Boston, but they should have been. An example:

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

~ Isley Brothers, Between the Sheets

Here's another that got Banned in the US, cos they didn't like the tone of it more than anything. Not a love song rather a statement of fact and indication of the disbelief that we felt this side of the Atlantic when we heard about the real life incident this song relates to.

Namely a 16 yr old girl taking her machine-gun to school and blowing away half her classmates, a legally owned machine-gun mind you, her daddy gave it to her for her birthday. Anyone remember the incident?? And what her reason for doing it was?? It's in the title.


Bob Geldorf and the Boomtown Rats: I don't like Mondays.


The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world,
Her mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl

Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen,
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,

(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that
The lesson today is how to die

And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see (no reasons)
'cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh

And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload, oh
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he could see (no reasons)
'cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like, i don't like
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like, i don't like
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
(tell me why) i don't like mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

I never knew this one was banned anywhere, Pops. I loved this song growing up & can still remember the shock when I learned what it was about. (I was very young when it came out so I didn't learn until much later) Now that song always reminds me of Jeremy by Pearl Jam, which was released when I was a teenager and made quite an impression on me.

Jeremy spoke in class today.
Try to forget this...try to forget this...
Try to erase this...try to erase this...
from the blackboard

It made an impression because those were thoughts that had gone through my own head and it was oddly comforting to know I wasn't the only one.

Hey Min, when I was young I thought that's what pop music was all about. P.

Yeppers it was not allowed to be released in the US at first until some high power record Co bod's got on the case and had a ruling overturned. It appears someone took out a court injuction banning the song as being in bad taste, but that was later overturned and the song got released over there about 6 months after it was released over here. This is based on info we read at the time in our music press and elsewhere.

Good song mind you, I always took a liking to it, as much for the message inside it as for the catchy tune. Bob won an Ivor Novello international classical music award for the concept, lyrics, and instrumental.

Hello gorgeous *P* Like you and like Min, I too thought pop music was all about putting ideas in one's head, and still do.
