Because the lyrics to some old songs are offensive? Well, i think i narrowed it down to just three: She's sexy + 17. By Stray cats. She's only 17 by Cinderella.
And Dancin' in the streets by Grateful DEad.
What other songs are not ok, if i forgot any?

You gotta explain how the lyrics to Dancin In The Streets are offensive to you.
This I must know.

I don't know the artist or the song... But a few years ago, I got a new neighbor, and while he was moving in... He (A White Guy) was loudly playing a song outside his home that referenced "N" this and "N" that... I found it highly offensive, and I'm not even Black... But worse still, there are kids all over the neighborhood, and I couldn't believe anyone would play a song like that where kids all throughout the neighborhood could hear it...
Total Trash. I can't believe anyone ever thought it would be a great idea to record such a "song".
Thankfully, that was the worst thing he ever did, and he's gone now...
But, still, you just don't play songs like that out in public in a residential neighborhood... Freedoms be damned, You just don't.

Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run girl
You're much too young girl
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you're old enough
To give me love
And now it hurts to know the truth
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run girl
You're much too young girl
Beneath your perfume and your make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know that it's wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes]
Young girl, get out my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run girl
You're much too young girl…

The O'Jays - "Love Train"
Starts off fine and wonderful:
People all over the world (everybody)
Join hands
Start a love train, love train
Continues with a nice message of brotherhood:
The next stop that we make will be England
Tell all the folks in Russia, and China, too
Don't you know that it's time to get on board
Wonderful. Hell, yeah, I'm on board with this.
But the song suddenly turns very offensive and disgusting with an overtly racist term for Africans:
All of you brothers over in Africa

"I don't usually say things like this to girls your age, but when I saw you coming out of school that day, I knew, I KNEW, I've got to have you..."
"She's been around, but she's young and clean. I've got to have her, can't live without her, whoa no! Christine Sixteen!"And nobody thought anything of it. It was just a silly song.

I didn't know the lyrics to Bobby Socks to Stockings. Just looked them up. For some reason I thought it might have been about childhood playmates who were the same age and he noticed her in a romantic way when she went from bobby socks to stockings. But no. Ewww.

DEPECHE MODE - A QUESTION OF TIME
Fantastic track, though the way I read them the lyrics are either about someone protecting a teen girl or protecting one for his own use!
I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question of time
Well now you're only fifteen
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say
It's just a question of time
It's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
I can see them now
Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one
It's just a question of time
It's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds
It's just a question of time
It should be better
It's just a question of time
It should be better with you
It's just a question of time

All songs are ok, if you don`t like a song don`t listen to it and stop whining about it.

She’s Only Seventeen is by Winger, not Cinderella. 75% of the Ted Nugent discography is probably offensive, starting with Jailbait. |

Neil Sedaka's "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen" always made me cringe. The singer in the song has been hanging around this girl as a "big brother" figure since she was six years old!
Now as she reaches the age of consent in many states, he announces, "Tonight's the night I waited for!" Eeewww.

All songs are ok, if you don`t like a song don`t listen to it and stop whining about it. Surely you meant "don't listen to it again." After all, how is anyone to know whether or not they like it before they read/watch/listen to it? Isn't it always too late to say "if you don't like it, don't listen to it?"
