    I sat through the Overboard remake. Along with its (oh so only tiny bit objectionable) 80s sexual politics they also considerately removed any charm and funniez the original had.

    Is it weird that I always read this thread title in my head in Father Dougal's voice?

    Not a film but "Baby it's cold outside" is pretty rapey.

    Disagree. If you want to get feministy, it's a song about the expectations of society on single women (at the time) not having / acting on sexual desires.

    The line about what's in this drink is 30s slang, and didn't mean roofies

    It’s no More Than Words. It’s a song about a couple already seeing each other in secret, he’s trying to get her to stay the night and she’s worried about what her family will think if she doesn’t go back home

    I'm confused. Is he saying PES is a bit rapey or that PES turns on a lot of women?

    if you only knew
    How easy it would be to show me how you feel
    More than words is all you have to do to make it real
    Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me

    Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
    All you have to do is close your eyes
    And just reach out your hands and touch me
    Hold me close don't ever let me go
    More than words is all I ever needed you to show
    Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
    'Cause I'd already know

    More Than Words is sometimes rumoured to mean if you loved me you'd blow me but whenever I've looked it up the band interviews it's not supposed to be like that. I've assumed it's like Puff the Magic Dragon or the filthy character names in Captain Pugwash.

    Saying you love me isn’t enough, you need to show me physically

    If we're criticising Extreme for anything (other than being a bit shit), why not their song Little Girls.

    "Reach out your hands and touch me". Could mean a bit of a wank or penis touch through his skin tight jeans.

    Don't get me wrong, I have little interest in defending the lyrics of wannabe sex offenders Extreme but I've never been convinced it's a blow job song.

    You’re the only one who thinks it’s a blowjob song, and the only one here who’s mentioned it
  • Deleted user 2 December 2018 19:04:50
    Another band with a song about Little Girls. What the hell is wrong with these paedo bands? They make Motley Crue sound wholesome as the song Girls Girls Girls didn't specifically mention them being little.

    It's the fairly common interpretation when someone says it's a dirty song. I think I first read it on something like The Guardian.

    Extreme specifically mentioned 16th birthdays, ergo there's NOTHING wrong with men in their 50s still singing it today

    I interpret it as a guy telling girlfriend that he won’t believe she loves him unless she sleeps with him

    Little Girls is a belter

    Some they say I'm too old for her
    Old enough to be her father

    Look, if you can't handle edgy funk metal, maybe Coldplay is for you
