Me and Mrs SM were driving up the M5 yesterday, listening to some 60s compilations as we went (you know the sort, £2.99 disks -some of the tracks may have been re-recorded by some of the original artists
).
Anyway, on there was an old favourite of mine by Billy J Kramer. As we listened, it dawned on us that you simply couldn't release a song nowadays with lyrics that start:
"Little children, you better not tell on me,
Little children, you better not tell what you see
And if you're good I'll give you candy
And a quarter
If you're quiet like you oughta be
And keep a secret with me"
So, any more classic songs out there (anything by Gary Glitter is cheating!) that would fail the modern paranoia / political correctness test?
