"The reason why I'm leaving

You don't even fix my dinner in the evening

Don't even iron my pants and shirt

Girl I'm getting on out of this dirt"

Dave Love - 'Baby Hard Times'

The whole of 'First I Look at the Purse' - The Contours

Can anybody think of any other NON-PC gems from soul records that would never see the light of day in these more 'enlightened' times?

Even the girls were at it:

"For every bit of hurt I put you through, I'm hurting too

Maybe baby much more than you"

Kim Weston - 'You Hit Me'

Hang on...SHE gets caught with another fella and SHE'S the hurt party, how does that work (wouldn't be surprised to hear that this was originally written for a bloke).

Or the original Joe Turner version - 'I'm like a one eyed cat peeping in a seafood store....' - Bill Haley NEVER uttered that verse :)

Actually Jo, I'm sure he did! The verse that Bill Haley amended to comply with good taste was originally:

You wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin' through,

You wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin' though,

I can't believe all that mess belongs to you........

Pretty sure that's how it went. The 'one eyed cat' line was overlooked for some reason!

And so politicaly incorrect by making the generalization that the majority of pimps "wear their hair to the side and walk with a limp"........

Can't see Take That covering it anytime soon LOL........

"You'd Never Get Away with It Nowadays". Thou's obviously not a Yorkshire man

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.

The first man had married a woman from Albania, and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed doing at their home. He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Brazil. He bragged that he had

told his wife she was going to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the

cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any results, but the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a Yorkshire lass. He boasted that he told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot food on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye.

my favorite is garland green "don't think I'm a violent guy", the monologue part where he's like "I hit you so light, it wouldn't even make a baby cry!" and that's not even the only song on the album about beating up people.

I've often wondered about this one yet it still gets loads of plays on the radio, does nobody listen to the lyrics or am I reading too much into it????

Surprised that a record that blatantly deals with under-age sex relationships even still gets played 41 years after its release!

Well to be fair...she wouldn't really be underage now would she...so it would be ok to go there... :thumbsup::thumbup::thumbup:

Love On A Lease Plan is by Johnnie Taylor.....but actually it was Johnnie Morrisette, (mentioned above on 'I'm Hungry'), who pimped...

In that case it could be "your much too old girl"

How about Flower Shopp " you,ve come a long way baby"

there,s a line in it about hair begining to grow below her waist! :thumbsup:

Was actually going to mention "Jealous kinda fella" boba where he "punched that guy last night" I think in this day and age old Garland would have been issued with an ASBO.

obviously steely dan is famous for that, but i always thought that the defonics "seventeen" was pretty disturbing.

Milton Parker "Women like it harder" just about beats everything! :g:

:thumbsup: Gets my vote anyway! :D

What about Big Boy Arthur Crudup "She's Got No Hair". It goes somewhere along the lines of "Hey look at her she got no hair, hey look at her she got no hair". I cannot find the lyrics, but there's a bit in the song where it says "her wig fell off and she had no hair at all."
