until you got older?

These are a couple of mine...

J. Geils Band - Centerfold

Stevie Wonder - Part-Time Lover

My parents must've laughed their arse off with me trying to sing the words to these songs at like 8-9 years old.

The tunes were catchy at the time and I was way too young to understand the lyrics.

It’s utterly amazing Lola made it past the censors considering the time it was released - and was a hit song. Very subversive.

Take a Walk on The Wild Side

at 10-11 i had no idea what "giving head" meant.

Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head

Squeeze Box

I really thought it had something to do with sex.

I was wrong

Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when daddy comes home
He never gets no rest

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

Tattooed Love Boys

Changing tires, upstairs bro
I shot my mouth off and he showed me what that hole was for

Stop sniffling
You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man

Yellow Ledbetter. I still don't understand the lyrics, nor do I understand the lyrics.

One of the best songs ever. I like the way she ends it with “You are that.”

“Oh, but the prestige and the glory
Another human interest story
You are that”

I would take it to mean instead of saying “you are just another human interest story and everything described previously” she put it in a different order.

Yep. Another one from that era, Sublime's Caress Me Down used to be played on the radio with none of the Spanish parts edited.

And the Spanish parts of that song are obviously not suitable for radio if you speak Spanish.
