Summer of 69 - appropriate?

[playmike]

most kids don't (or shouldn't) know what a "69" is. If they do, you have a whole other set of problems.

A lot of neat things happened in 1969...

Priceless...

[DrRock69]

i never once thought of the song title in a sexual way untill i entered this thread

[CyanFunk]

It's about scoring in the summer of 1969, which, if you were in the right place, wasn't really that hard

Besides, it flies over most people's heads

A lot of neat things happened in 1969...

You either trekked fifteen miles to an overcrowded field where you were afraid to take a drink as there might be acid in it or, if you lived in LA, had to lock your doors in fear of a failed rock star who killed people in attempts to start a war based off a Beatles song

Good times. Good times...

Haha, sorry, but not every reference to the number 69 is sexual in nature.

[GhostOfRingoStarr]

Is this serious?

It never ceases to amaze me what contrived scenarios people will come up with to be offended by.

[Goatbuster]

Hehe 69.

[davidshek]

Yeah, theres nothing sexual about it.

Riiight, keep telling yourself that. The 2nd to last line of the song says, "Yeah, me and my babe in a 69!". And yes, I'm quite aware that it means 1969, but that line is pretty blatant for those who choose to see it in a sexual way.

But that said, there's nothing wrong with this song for LRB.

This is almost as bad as that cat who declared the Nevermind baby's penis to be inappropriate for a child's eyes.

There are a few other songs that are more suggestive that are either on disc or made it through the filter. I find this one relatively tame.

Yeah, I was mortally offended when Bryan said "when you held my hand, I knew it was now or never."

Damn hand-holding! That's very much frowned upon in my Amish Methodist (Orthodox) church.
