Every Step You Take by The Police
I LOVE this song--have since it first came out. On first listen, it seems like a beautiful love song. Here is a man so very in love with a woman--so in love that he can't think of anything else but her. Then you really HEAR the lyrics and begin to understand that this is a demented individual!
"Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watchin' you"
Yeah, a little creepy. The words of a stalker, for sure. Good song as long as you don't think too much about it! :)

This is a fun, catchy song to sing along to. Nothing really wrong with the words, until you see Sedaka singing them during his 'come-back' phase. This was in the mid-1970s when he was about 36 years old. Listening to a 36-year-old man singing these words is more than a little creepy:
"Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen"
SEEING him sing the song brings the point home even more! (Don't know how old he was in this video, but DEFINITELY too old to be singing to a 16-year-old! The audio and video are not in synch in this clip, but I couldn't find a better one.)

I like Ringo and like his songs. Once again, very catchy, pop tunes--good to sing along to. BUT, he DEFINITELY was too old to be singing this song to a 16-year-old! EWWWWWWWW!!!! Please, a man of 33 (his age when he recorded this) should NOT be singing lyrics such as this--especially when they are aimed at someone so young:
"You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop"
Sorry, but this, too, just screams 'pedophilia' to me!

I agree with everyone- so very creepy!
ReplyDeleteYep, ditto - the only one that works is Claire...can't remember the artist.
ReplyDeleteGilbert O'Sullivan wrote 'Claire.' Had to look up the lyrics, but I agree, it DOES work.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Young Girl - Gary Puckett and Union Gap - Young Girl get outta my life, my love for you is way out of line, better run girl, you're much too young girl ....
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Jan...I remembered that one after I was done with the post. What is it with the songs about young girls? EWWWWWW.
ReplyDeleteWell, there are just too many creepy songs to count,so i won't start. My question is, in Ringo Starr's video, isn't that a young Carrie Fisher? Sure looks like her.
ReplyDeleteCourse, I don't usually recognize her without the cinnamon buns on the sides of her head...
That definitely is Princess Leia herself, Carrie Fisher! Young, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteWow, yes infinately creepy. He's sitting in her hair?? After the hair scene when we get a better look at him his creepy bearded face looks fatherly, and indeed he looks old enough to be her father so the kiss and the song become even more disgusting and perverse. If he was dreaming of sixteen yearolds when he was in his thirties I think he has a problem.
ReplyDeletePolice - Don't Stand so Close to Me
ReplyDeleteKnack - My Sharona
Still many that I forgot--including the ones you just mentioned. I'm thinking I need to update this post in the near future.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh hello how about "Thank heaven for Little Girls".... believe the next line is "cause little girls get bigger everyday".....yeah I just leave you with that one!!
ReplyDeleteEWWW, yeah.
