Silly. Some of us listened for the music. We could care less what they were saying.

Just had the unpleasant experience of informing a business associate what the song Lola was all about. He had no clue after listening to it for decades.

LOL, I have done the same many times. They always get the same look of disbelief when they really pay attention to the words for the first time. I'm sure I looked the same way 25 years ago when someone first informed me.

I guess that is why they called themselves The Kinks...

I suppose you friend would be equally shocked at Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side. I wonder how these two great songs (whatever you think of their content) managed to get played on the radio back in the day.
