I am, however, kinda surprised to see folks I'd consider to be fairly conservative Christians complaining that a song about fornication and (probably) drunkenness has been taken off the playlists of a couple of radio stations. Maybe you could compensate by having the 'praise band' sing it at the next carol service?
It's the hypocrisy of the left that is disturbing.

In your own little mind it will never work, Jim. And such is the hypocrisy of which I speak.

Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostIf a modern general audience needs to do research to figure out a song lyric isn't actually referring to date rape, maybe that song isn't worth playing for a modern general audience? It's not even nearly a quintessential holiday song. Also, none of the rap songs some here are talking about are played ad nauseam, let alone considered classics, so of course they wouldn't receive anywhere near the same amount of attention.
Some guy waiting to commit murder:
Phil Collins In the Air Tonight
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Guy fighting with his wife/girlfriend and stalking her:
Alan Parson - Eye in the Sky
Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
[Chorus]
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Stalking. Every Breath You Take by The Police
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Sheesh, this was as bad as having to explain an obvious joke.
