Bad Taste Songs

July 16th 2008 00:16
Big Girls You Are Beautiful . . .

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.

Flying Purple People Eaters - certainly one from left field.

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.

When I saw it on the "Popular Posts" I wanted to chime in with "Fat Bottom Girls" but you beat me to it. Luckily, I read before I typed "Short People!"

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!

Comment by Brenton

July 16th 2008 02:45
Fuck her Gently - Tenacious D
Windowlicker - Aphex Twin
Thank Heaven for Little Girls - Maurice Chevalier {the original, maybe not so, but I've observed it sung by a seedy Frenchman. Haw haw!}
I promise not to come in your mouth - Frank Zappa {Instrumental, but still}
Booze Me UP and Get Me High - Ween
Raped - The Frogs {with the immortal line, after all, she was a nun, and the priest wanted to watch.}
Kim - Eminem {Killing his wife and partner - lurid stuff}
I'm a Backdoor man - Pauline Pantsdown {banned from radio - from JJJ!}
Smack My Bitch Up - The Prodigy
Bitches Ain't Shit {Original - Dr Dre. Piano cover, Ben Folds}
Rape me - Nirvaa
Have Sex - Abject {Have sex on XTC! Have Sex on LSD!}
Curse of Millhaven - Nick Cave {in which a 14 year old girl stacks up an impressive kill count of her local townspeople}
Ass and Titties - Dj Funk.
Orgasm Riddim - Red Rat
Violent Pornography - System of a down
A lapdance is always better when the stripper is crying - Bloodhound Gang.
Fuck the pain away - Peaches

Old fart's I've found are a whole lot younger than they used to be

Hmmm - gives me an idea for a post - thanks!

See - us OF are full of good ideas - its just sometimes we don't always know it . . .

Now - what was it again I was talking about . . .

Should I be putting a 'family friendly warning' on this post now!

Wow - that's one ugly list.

I think it's a good mix of whimsical, ugly and plain misunderstood.

Comment by Aimzster

July 16th 2008 03:18
I'd say Short Dick Man by Salt N Pepa. It goes 'eeny, weeny, teeny, weeny, shrivelled little short dick man. Don't want no short dick man'. It was a lovely song to grow up to in the 90s.

Michael Jackson's PYT (Pretty Young Thing) takes on a new distasteful meaning ...

Have to admit - I'm falling further and further into the I don't understand category these days - but still clinging by my fingertips to get a grasp.

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

It just went soooo wrong . . .

I think Brenton should be given award of some kind, he just grabbed the brass ring of political incorrectness. Thank God there's at least one honest man left in the world, I can throw away my friggin' lamp now.

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.

Stay sane

Comment by Ryunkin

In today's world you don't need a lamp to find an honest man you need a battery of federal prison search lights.

Brenton, you need an attitude change -- and damn fast..

Comment by Brenton

July 16th 2008 06:36
I didn't write them, honest!

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.

Comment by Morgan Bell

Spazz - by the Elaskic Band (on Nuggets I think). Features the chorus "Get off of the street, people gonna think you're spazz" as part of its careful study of disability issues...

Comment by Brenton

July 16th 2008 09:11
!!! Yes! When i was a sperm! Awesome song...

And Detachable penis?

On the 'spazz note' ,Devo's mongoloid, despite actually tackling the subject quite tastefully.

Comment by LipsLament

July 16th 2008 10:12
Hey, i thought i'd add some to your list. How about:
Korn -All in the Family (Oh, sick but cool)
Regurgitator- I Sucked a Lot of C-ck to Get Where i Am
Consolidated - You Suck! (Highly Offensive, but oh so funny!)
Cypress Hill - Hits from the Bong
Bloodhound Gang - I Hope you Die
Phunk Junkees - Devil Woman
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Sir Psycho Sexy.
Also, for those searching for it; Short Dick Man was sung by 20 Fingers with Gillette.
Check 'em out!

A couple Favourites of mine are -
#Judy is a Dick Slap - Belle and Sebastian
#MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack - Beck
#Piss Up A Rope-Ween

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 can't believe you guys!

You're recall and knowledge of the ugly and inappropriate is truly amazing . . .

I think the Orble team should enter tables in trivia nights around the country and clean up

Takin' a Shit - ODB

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:

"Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager
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...

The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang. Come on, you all know the words:, "you and me baby ani't nothin' but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel"

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.

Louie-- I don't see anything wrong with Katy Perry's song. Though some people really take it as offensive.

"Boom boom boom - by the outhere brothers" or something... i never knew what it was about back in the day but if you really listen to the lyrics it's a pretty nasty song...

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 . . .

"Hi - I'm after someone who can help me with Putting Your Ass on My Face . . . "

Hmmm

Always a pleasure - stay well

Have you sought professional help?

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.

Hey MNG, you asked for bad taste, I gave you bad taste!

Comment by D. Armenta

July 17th 2008 16:59
I dunno, I think there's a big difference between "bad taste" and "politically incorrect/offensive." Some folks are awfully touchy and humorless these days.

"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.

Hey D

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.
