"Hey dad, can my friends come over to listen to some music?"<br /><br />She will conveniently leave out the number of kids and the music.Nicsboy2https://www.blogger.com/profile/12846530095146965548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-71095033636361483742010-04-12T11:56:50.422-07:002010-04-12T11:56:50.422-07:00See the problem with this song is that he has a vo...See the problem with this song is that he has a voice that sounds a helluva lot like "Alvin The Chipmunk" singing the chorus. I can imagine that it's pretty confusing for kids and they wouldn't realize that it's so sexually suggestive. <br /><br />And for adults who USED to enjoy his music (ME)- It was a total "jump the shark" moment.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614326327687523688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-25309825048258508872010-04-07T05:17:17.548-07:002010-04-07T05:17:17.548-07:00Nat, I'm pretty sure a child never stops doing...Nat, I'm pretty sure a child never stops doing that to their parents. My mom recently asked me what we were doing for Independence Day, hoping to get an invite out of me. I kind of did the mumbling thing to her.<br /><br />And yes, the Pimp Operettas will always be looked upon very closely by me, before I allow them.<br /><br />Yobbo, 4 words was exactly it. I didn't even need to see "Face down, ass up." I knew where it was headed once he got the word "lower" out. Unless it was a song about spelunking, "she could go lower" is not a theme I want my 11 year old daughter listening to.<br /><br />Of course, if The Who wrote it, they could write a song about spelunking that would actually be about something very dirty, but that's the magic of rock in the 70's. They understood subtlety. They are to dirty music like the Victoria's Secret catalog is to fantasizing, sometimes it's better to let the imagination do the work.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544216856514863432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-63620842555576899802010-04-06T16:05:24.766-07:002010-04-06T16:05:24.766-07:00I reckon you would have got about four words in be...I reckon you would have got about four words in before the Parental Stamp of Hell No came down. And rightly so. Besides I predict it's an utterly utterly shit song.Dr Yobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032085614743539793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-73386366743116857012010-04-06T14:38:00.312-07:002010-04-06T14:38:00.312-07:00My girl still does that.

It’s also a useful test of whether the person you’re addressing is paying attention to you.Simon Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515986779205716110noreply@blogger.com
