Songs that might be deemed too OFFENSIVE to be made today

Many great songs would not be able to exist today.

1) Miss You (Rolling Stores) - Part where Mick talks about the Puerto Rican Girls who are just dying to meet you

2) Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) - Would get canceled for cultural appropriation

3) Money for Nothing (Dire Straits) - The little f****t with the earing and the makeup; it's import to note he was quoting a guy he overheard in Best Buy

4) Gallows Pole (Zep) - more cultural appropriation; basically they took an old blues song Lead belly wrote about lynching and turned it into a fantastical medieval song about a white guy getting hung. Also, trying to pay off the hangman with your sister's body. Great song though

5) The End (The Doors) - Father I want to kill you. Mother, I want to F**k you

6) Peace Frog (The Doors) - The Indians scattered on Dawn's Highway bleeding

7) Alabama Song (The Doors) - This is a cover but I don't know who wrote it originally. "Show me the way to the next little girl"

8) Gloria (Jim Morrison's cover) - Vivid description of a BJ would bother some modern listeners

9) Rock n Roll Suicide (David Bowie) - Someone would say they're triggered

10) Hey (The Pixies) - Wh*res in my head, Wh*res in my bed

11) Rockstar (Nickelback) - We'll all stay skinny because we just won't eat will trigger someone, most likely Kara12) Brown Sugar (The Rolling Stones) - Whole song would get cancelled. I kind of agree with this one. Great song, maybe just change the lyrics altogether

Guns N' Roses – Used to Love Her

A humorous murder ballad, Izzy wrote it after he heard a song on the radio about a guy who’s girlfriend bothered him. It is actually about Axl’s dog, originally recorded in an

Open link

on the other hand, murder ballads are still very much a part of folk music

Underground, Eminem.

Insane, Eminem.

Kim, Eminem.

Stay Wide Awake, Eminem

A song from the guy who died in prison for murdering a woman.

And they have her lying naked on the coach after getting it on with Senior Demone!

You should probably do some research on the song and who wrote it if you think that's what it is really about.

Stupid Girl by The Rolling Stones (misogyny ?):

I'm not talking about the kind of clothes she wears
Look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she combs her hair
Look at that stupid girl
The way she powders her nose
Her vanity shows and it shows
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she digs for gold
Look at that stupid girl
Well, I'm talking about the way she grabs and holds
Look at that stupid girl
The way she talks about someone else
That she don't even know herself
She's the sickest thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl
Well, I'm sick and tired
And I really have my doubts
I've tried and tried
But it never really works out
Like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
Look at that stupid girl
It doesn't matter if she dyes her hair
Or the color of the shoes she wears
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
Look at that stupid girl
She purrs like a pussycat
Then she turns 'round and hisses back
She's the sickest thing in this world
Look at that stupid girl

Real misogyny:

Under My Thumb by The Rolling Stones:

Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
And ain't it the truth babe?
Under my thumb
It's a squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me
Yes it is
The way she does just what she's told down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright
Under my thumb
Is a Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hm, pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah
It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me, oh, that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Say, it's alright
Say it's all
Say it's all
Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe

I think most of these songs should be allowed to be written today, but there would need to be something like a censored version which could be played on public airwaves. Music is an art form and many of these songs are trying to depict the fringes. They need to be allowed to explore that, but care needs to be taken as to how it gets disseminated.

It's not an easy topic, but art is often times not supposed to be easy.

Bowie was repeatedly pushing the sexual boundaries. I don't think it was wrong at all. He was asking a question that was intended to be counter-intuitive.

Granted, it borders on a sensitive cultural issue. But that's ok, imo.

Lola by the Kinks

Thee Taylor Swift...Picture to Burn (original version)

Yes...its been scrubbed from here to L.A. and all points between.

"America the Beautiful "

very xenophobic, racist and probably transphobic too.

Money for Nothing by Dire Straights is incredible aside from the lyric about the person who wears an earring and makeup

Yes it is, but it's important to understand that the lyric was supposed to make fun of people who think like that - to make fun of people who use homophobic slurs and think being a rock star is easy. The song is putting down people who use terms like that.

There was a log thread here once where many people were claiming Brown Sugar by the Stones was racist and that anyone who listens to the Stones must be racist too.
