Songs that wouldn't have been written/recorded in 2020

It's actually about rape.

 

"Have a Cigar" is about getting used and abused by record companies.  But "Rape Me" was written by Cobain as an anti-rape song.

 

It was edgy, but powerful.  Wasn't a radio hit then, and certainly wouldn't be now.  But I think it could be written and recorded today.

 

Stroke Me by Billy Squier is also an anti-record company song that is misinterpreted.

'My Girl Bill', Jim Stafford.

 

Although society has come to accept less than conventional domestic partnerships, I think the overall intelligence of society is heading downward, and many couldn't grasp the subtleties and double entendres of the song.  (Except mead107.  ?)

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins so I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches sleep on the love seat

 

I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

Does that mean if I call the local classic rock station and complain, they'll stop playing it every four hours?  ??

No, cause I think it’s really about her getting blasted in the face but not by a fist. That’s OK, in fact it’s a beautiful thing.

John Lennon- Woman Is The ****** Of The World

 

Patti Smith - Rock And Roll ******
 

 

I posted Patti Smith and it got censored so fast.  I believe Lenny Bruce- when you aren't allowed to say a word, that gives that word all the power and meanness

In that vein, I will toss in "Younger Girl" originally done by the Critters, then by The Lovin' Spoonful.

    I believe you have that backwards.   But I also believe in magic.

Not even going here. Depends on the artist.  This is a slippery slope when everything is offensive. I appreciate the topic because its solid. Looking forward to reading the responses.

 

 

Edit: This entire album
