Ten Of The Most Inappropriate Rock Songs That Became Huge Hits
It’s easy to sing along to your favorite songs, never really paying much mind to what the lyrics are actually saying.
But if you listen a little closer you’ll find that many of your fav rock & roll hits are chock full of raunchy and wrong.
My Sharona sounds innocent enough, but when you discover that The Knack’s Doug Fieger wrote the song for sixteen-year-old Sharona Alperin when Doug was around 25 years old it kinda sheds a different light on the lyrics.
"When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?" How about when I've graduated from high school, you adult pervert.
But My Sharona is part of a rock tradition of singing about young gals, and songs like Ted Nugent’s Jailbait, KISS’s Christine Sixteen, and Stray Cat Blues by the Rolling Stones all feature lyrics about underage girls. It's enough to make you wonder- can't rock stars find good women their own age?
