Re: Pop songs with really f^cked up lyrics?
Back in the 80s I always thought The Boomtown Rats's "I Don't Like Mondays" was a peppy little infectious pop number... then I started paying attention to the lyrics. Maybe a bit tame by modern standards but back then it made me poop.

Way back in the 60's Gary Puckett had a song called "Young Girl." It was probably innocent back then but now one has to wonder what went on back then:
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run girl,
You're much too young girl
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth, Oh,
Young girl get out of my mind
my love for you is way outta line
better run girl, your much too young girl
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it is wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes, Oh,
Young girl get outta my mind
My love for you is way outta line
better run girl, Your much too young girl
So hurry home to your mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, Oh,
Young girl get outta my mind
my love for you is way outta line
better run girl, your much too young girl
(until fade)
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run girl,
You're much too young girl
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth, Oh,
Young girl get out of my mind
my love for you is way outta line
better run girl, your much too young girl
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it is wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes, Oh,
Young girl get outta my mind
My love for you is way outta line
better run girl, Your much too young girl
So hurry home to your mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, Oh,
Young girl get outta my mind
my love for you is way outta line
better run girl, your much too young girl
(until fade)

I'm going with Sean and state that this film was mis-marketed. It's actually a very clever film with some sly comments on our culture of conformity and consumerism. I ignored it when it first came out, only watching it after writer Dan Vebber compared it to Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show, in that they're both properties that are cleverer than their titles initially suggest.
