Lyrics that you were shocked at................. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was shocked that Rich Girl by Darryl Hall And Joan Oates lyrics really were, "It's a bitch girl." When I was listening to it, I was hoping they were saying, 'You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far. It's a rich girl." But they were saying, "You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far. It's a bitch girl." But deep down, I KNEW it sounded like, "It's a bitch girl", but I was thinking, "Isn't "bitch" a curseword and wouldn't it be bleeped out by the FCC?"

How did this lyric slip into radio?

I was shocked when Charlie Daniels sang, "I told you once, you son of a bitch", on XM radio, because on a Billboard Hits 1979 CD I borrowed from the library, the lyric was sang, 'I told you once, you son of a gun",

I remember being shocked when I first heard "Sex I'm A" by Berlin.

With the artists I listen to, shocking lyrics are not that shocking.

That's the difference between the album version and the single version.

I was shocked when I heard that Hall & Oates song back in the 70's...songs just never blurted out stuff like you hear now. However, I later learned that the way they were saying "bitch" is not the way I assumed. There is saying "b" to call a woman a derogatory remark, then there is saying "b" when saying for example "Driving this road is a bitch." Two different words. In the Hall & Oates song, they are referring to how "it's a bitch", not that the girl is a "b".

White Horse by Laid Back had these lyrics:

If you wanna be
rich
You got to be a bitch

Later in the song he just comes right out and says: You bitch

The single/radio mix of this song just cut the word bitch out.

I guess it depends in what context you are using the word.

Hair of the Dog--Nazareth. "Now you're messing with a son of a bitch".
Bitch--The Rolling Stones.
Digital Bitch--Black Sabbath.
Diamond Dogs--David Bowie. "It's the year of the scavenger, season of the bitch".
Bitch School--Spinal Tap. (It's actually about taking his dog to obedience courses.)
The Bitch Is Back--Elton John.
Slowtrain to China--Gary Numan. "In love with this elegant bitch."
Tattooed Dancer--Ozzy Osbourne. "Dance for me, bitch!"

The word bitch isn't necessarily a curse word in a song, but in the past (I'm not sure if it still holds true), radio dj's were not permitted to say it. It's not a profanity word like the other ones, though some people might have problems in some parts of the country.

A bitch is technically a female dog.

I love that song!!!! I remember when the song would come out me and my girlfriends would sing along to it and when it got to "bitch" we would say it LOUD!!!!

Thanx for mentioning this song, it brings back memories.

Y.M.C.A. by Village People..........how stupid can whimpy songs get. The disaster of the 80s!!! Luckily we came out of that disco-duck tunnel!!!!

dragster58 · 11-28-2006, 09:54 PM

Wind of Change byThe Scorpions.........I didn't buy one single album of that once-valid band after that STUPID and FAKE "politically incorrect" sh*t!! Judging from the shape of things that came after that silly song, The Scorpions didn't get one single thing right in that sh**ty song!!

If you mean Y.M.C.A. was the "disaster of the 80's"...Y.M.C.A.= 1978

dragster58 · 11-29-2006, 07:49 AM

Exactly, the beginning of the end.....but luckily there was the '80s Paisley Underground scene in the States, grunge in the 90s and anything non whimpy in the Ks!!
Stay cool!
