Bad Taste Songs
July 16th 2008 00:16
I had reason last night (for want of a better option) to listen to Queen's 'Fat Bottomed Girls' - when it occurred to me that there has probably been a virtual vault full of bad taste songs (if not entirely politically incorrect) over the years.
From Sex wtih Strangers through to Short People by Randy Newman - there's bad taste - and then there is just plain wrong.
Perhaps it was the hour - perhaps it was the 'red' or perhaps it was just my ailing mind - but for the life of me - I just couldn't string together more than 10 songs which were managed to fit genuinely into the category.
It's now bugging me . . . and I need willing disciples to assist me on my quest.

Bad taste? I don't think so - but then again you're right about the current climate which appears to be prevailing.
I have heard that Katy's new release is inciting quite a response on the dance floor though - amongst girls (obviously) trying to attract the attention of boys . . . go figure. I guess it doubles your chances on a Saturday night
Stay sane

Between the immigrants, faggots and niggers lyrics - think they just about manage to sneak into the bad taste category.
Good pick up.

I'm not too crazy about a lot of Rap lyrics but I don't know the song or artist--I guess that means I'm getting to be an old fart!

Michael Jackson - (given recent events and accusations) is probably a a little distasteful himself.

Not quite sure where you're going with this - but if Brenton has lightened your load (and it sounds like it needs lightening) then I'm all for you tossing the lamp that lights the way.

I meant with the previous comment that some of the songs I listed are quite unpleasent, while others are simply very silly and juvinile, and some of them are quite innocent songs with terrible titles.

I Think Beth Ditto made a great statement by posing for that photo. It's nice to have someone who is of a 'real' size on a magazine cover.

I don't even know why this was put on the album, other than it makes Ol' Dirty seem even dirtier...
Don't hate on Brenton for coming up with a good list of offensive songs!
Hate on Brenton for claiming that "Fuck the Police" was done by Public Enemy, when it's actually by NWA!
Link to the song! Great song!
A little taste:
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin my car, lookin for the product
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics"
When it was released, tension between the LAPD and the black communities was at an electrifying high, nitroglycerin ready to be set off...

Also, back when I was at Uni, my slightly younger flatmate was a big fan of a song called Put Your Ass On My Face. Dunno who sung it and don't care.
Also, when I was a teenager I remember a song that went "Now you suck, yeah boy you get down. Now you suck, suck it hard, baby move your tongue around". It also featured the line "I know you think it's a drag, to suck when I'm on the rag..."
Also, Salt n'Pepa didn't sing Short Dick Man. It was some chick called Gillete.
Also, Brenton is my hero.

Can attest to song no.1 - but no.2 and 3 - wow!
Would hate to go into a record store and ask for some of these . . .

If you listen too hard to alot of stuff - your ears will no doubt bleed - so best to enjoy the melodic charm and misinterpret the lyrics . . . it's sometimes blissfully quaint.

What constitutes bad manners?

"Fat Bottomed Girls" glorified a plus-size woman. Who takes offense? Thin girls? No-bottomed girls? Bottoms are made entirely of fat. You either have a good one (which means more fat --or you don't. I guess it's bad taste if you don't appreciate ass comparisons...
"Short People",? The song is sarcastic humor that pokes fun at prejudices. Jeez, when did people become so literal-minded?
"Detachable Penis"--now that's just plain funny! Ditto "Turning Japanese" and "Pearl Necklace" --offensive to some, I guess, but written with a sense of humor and leaving the message up to innuendo instead of slapping you in the face with it. I mean, no little kid is going to know what those terms mean without being told.
More in-your-face songs like "I sucked a lot of c__ck to get where I am", or "I'll f_ck you blind, bitch"--now that's getting closer to bad taste/offensive. No subtlety at all, and you don't have to be Fellini to figure out the message.

All good points - I'd say (in my experience - and relating specifically to Fat Bottomed Girls and Big Girls You Are Beautiful et al) that only those who are a little touchy about what god has given them seem to take these tunes to task . . . and the do-gooders who seem to have more time than commonsense.
After-all - I didn't here too many thin girls take offence to Racey's 70's hit - Skinny Girls.
Stay well and enjoy your weekend.
