As most of you know, I recently became the proud father of a beautiful baby girl. Miss M turned four months old a few days ago, so her ability to understand human language is basically nonexistent… but I still found myself censoring a piece of music that came on iTunes shuffle this morning, as the Bakshi family was wolfing down our breakfast cereal. It was a strange feeling to have done so, almost instinctual. Certainly illogical, given her tender age. But I did it anyway.
A shiny RTH No-Prize to the Townsman or Townswoman who can identify which song I found too grown-up for my baby’s tender ears!
I look forward to your responses.
HVB
“F*** the Pain Away” by Peaches. Parts of the song are apropos since since is probably still breastfeeding.
Nope, sorry, LMKR. Try again!
“Love to Love You Baby” by Donna Summer; could definitely send the wrong message.
Ha! No, but nice try.
Aeorsmith’s Big Ten Inch Record?
Darling Nikki.
No, but you have identified a song that frequently gets stuck in my head, for what that’s worth.
BigSteve is close, but gets no cigar.
DJ Jazzy Jeff/Fresh Prince – “Parents Just Don’t Understand”
Sexy MF – Prince
Nope.
No — though I LOVE that song. For reasons that have nothing to do with the lyric. “Horns, stand up please…”
Rather than focus on the lyrical content, was it because of the music? Was it something by Dave Matthews or Phish?
You don’t want her to fall for those Ibeza party anthems, perhaps?
Little Red Corvette?
Hand over the NO-PRIZE: Spinal Tap’s “Bitch School”!
No, Mod, it’s got to be “Lick My Love Pump,” which HVB was erroneously playing as a lullaby.
I hate when that happens!
Now THAT is some good thinking. Good thinking, but wrong. BigSteve’s answer — and a few others — was closest thus far.
Come on, man! You have to do a lot of rock critic 101 thinking to find “LRC” offensive!
Ha! No.
Jack U Off? Come? Poom Poom?
Liz Phair — HWC?
DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING! The correct answer is “Jack U Off.” Coincidentally also the song in Prince’s set opening for the Stones in ’81 that set the crowd flinging beer cans and whiskey bottles at his noggin.
That was going to be my guess. Dirty minds think alike, perhaps.
I rule.
I don’t understand you people. Everybody knows that the dirtiest song ever is “Louie Louie” by the Kingsmen.
AndyR’s wife told me that their kid’s school changed the lyrics on their school musical number for Crocodile Rock from “Susie wore her dresses tight” to “Susie wore her dresses white.” because we don’t want to promote tight dress wearing.
That lame!
I was in a kiddie chorus in, oh, sixth grade, and the choirmistress bowdlerized the “bra!” in the line “ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on… bra!”, changing it to “ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on… yeah!” It sounded completely idiotic. Even more idiotic than the original.
