Repeat Offender

Ok, I know you are thinking about a person..it's not. I am sure everyone has at one point or another gotten a song stuck in their head, and whether it's one they like or not, it keeps on playing. Last night, or this morning as I was leaving work I was zapped with a song that I sort of feel is offensive to women. I am sure when it was first recorded a woman's place was considered to be a cross between a sex kitten and a mother, doing all those 'womanly' things. The song was by Bobby Rydell, " Wild one" here are the nightmare lyrics that are playing in my head this morning...

"Oh wild one I'm-a gonna tame you down (tame you down)
Ah, wild one I'll get you yet (yeah yeah) you bet (yeah yeah)
You little doll all you do is play, you've got a new baby ev'ry day
But some day it's gonna be me, me and only me.

Oh oh oh oh wild one I'll make you settle down (settle down)
Ah wild one I'll clippa your wings (yeah yeah) and them things (yeah yeah)
You got the lips that I'm mad about
I got the lips that'll knock you out
C'mon wild one be wild about me."

Not everyone will find them offensive, but they strike a nerve in me, so understand my frustration that it is looping in my head since last night..ARGH!!

Another song that has stuck in my past that I really feel has a horribly sexist and derogatory message :

"We got to get you a woman" by Todd Rungren.

" Taking about things, about that special one,

they may be stupid but they sure are fun."

That one has been on my "Do Not like list" when I actually stopped and listened to the lyrics...and another looper.

I guess the only cure for the looping song is to listen to one to take it's place, but dang...it just keeps coming back...grrrr!! It is likely that they play over and over because I do Not like them. Both of these songs have become elevator music these days, or...casino background noise...lol.

If you have an unfavorable looper, share it...maybe I can replace mine with yours...

have a good night all,
