A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying - Bloodhound Gang (Not so much a song as it is a sordid tale of love and strippers.)

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)

Vehicle - Ides of March / Blood Sweat & Tears-

"Hey, well I'm the friendly stranger
In the black sedan
Oh won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man
I'd like to take you to the nearest star
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)
Need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven, you know I love you
Well if you want to be a movie star
I got the ticket to Hollywood
Well if you want to stay just like you are
You know I think you really should
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)
I need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven you know I love you
Oh you know I do
Well I'm the friendly stranger
In the black sedan
Oh won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man
I'd like to take you to the nearest star
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)
I need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven you know I love you
And I'm your vehicle babe
Oooh
You know I love ya (love you)
I need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven you know I love you"

I remember the girlfriend being appalled.

When it got airplay around here, "suicidal" was changed to "in denial."

never saw the movie but i was under the impression it was geared towards kids and teens...
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.
