The '70s were half a century ago, and that fact is especially apparent when you look back at the media of the time. Watch a movie or TV show from that decade or listen to a song, and you won't just notice outdated fashion, interiors, and slang, but you'll also come across plots, characters, and words that are offensive, especially by the standards of 2023. When it comes to music in particular, there are plenty of songs from the '70s that are offensive to listeners now.
1 "Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones (1971)

I’m a fan of Patti Smith’s song “Rock and Roll n-word”
Yikes....."Bubble headed bleached blonde, telling dirty little lies".......(News Media)
Now, Mr. Jagger, there is only one question I want to ask you – Jaggs. And you better have the answer, man, you better have the answer, since you have besmirched the character of black women. Therefore, here is my question, Jaggs.
Where are all of these black broads, man? Hey, like, where ARE they, baby? You got any phone numbers for me, baby? Please send ‘em to me. Thank you.
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story
On the Peking ferry, I was feeling merry
Sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady
By the light of an eastern moon
8 Ram Jam “Black Betty”
“The Jungle Line “ by Joni Mitchell.
This dingbat reporter better not listen to ZZ Top. She’d be in therapy for the rest of life.
Some of them were really good music. Under My Thumb-60’s. Degrading but you couldn’t put down the music.
Bowie’s China Doll-80’s. sucked too. He went commercial. They all do.
In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry should make the list with this line:
“If her daddy’s rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel...”
Women’s undergarments are simon’s bag
He’s a transvestite he’s a fag
Auntie ann is a schizo crazy as they come
She thinks she is a chicken stickin’feathers
In her bum
Krokus - Mad Racket
Mexican Blackbird alone would make their heads explode.
I'm trying to tell you, boys
These hard-headed women these days
The way they try and treat a man
Ain't nothing but a doggone shame
I talk and talk and talk
She didn't hear a word I said
Gonna get Hank Aaron's baseball bat
And tenderize her head
I consider “Afternoon Delight” offensive. https://youtu.be/wu1UXCdyNo0?si=sYpRoEPm-T0Jhq22
My first thought: ZZTop’s Francine.
The Eagles, “Get Over It” is from around 2006
Dire Straights, “Money for nothing
“
What about “American Woman” by the Guess OfWho?
