Do you have a song or movie you loved as a child, that you revisited later in life only to realize it was about something totally scandalous ( Read more... )

Just like Puff the Magic Dragon.

Sorry, but "Puff the Magic Dragon" was NOT about marijuana or any other drug. It was and always will be a song about the end of innocence.

And...

Jean Nicot was a 16th-century French foreign ambassador who first took tobacco to France. Maybe he shouldn't have. It's in his dubious honor that we got the word "nicotine."

"Puff" is a good call.

For me, it's the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood". Loved that song since I was a kid, but I didn't get it until I was in high school.

I used to love "She Bop" when I was a little kid, just because of the wacky cartoon video. I had no idea what "the pages of a Blue Boy magazine" was until well after I started he-bopping!

AAAAA SHE BOP

I was in my TWENTIES before I sussed out what that song is about. Jesus, I'm retarded.

as a kid... spikesgal December 14 2007, 18:08:50 UTC

I loved the albums "Wish You Were Here" and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Those albums are both mostly about the band member that they had who checked himself into an asylum because he was so strung out on LSD he thought he mulitple personalities.

When I hit my teens and started liking the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, it was the same thing. My favorite beatles album was (and still is) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - total drug trip.

With Led, it wasn't albums as much as songs - "The Lemon Song" with lyrics like - squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg - tends to stand out.

Then there's songs like Eddie Money's 'Shakin' which is more obvious but still pretty tawdry.

That is all. :)

I didn't know that. I knew that there was a lot of blues influence on Zep, but I didn't know that.

But you get my point thought, lots of sexual connotation.

Hah, I had to look up the lyrics on that one. Awesome.

Shane McGowan's is the silliest voice in all the land, but goddamn if I don't love it all the same.
