Songs they probably wouldn't release today

[SueEllen]

Why wouldn't this one be released today? They got in hot water the Mattel over it demonising Barbie with lyrics like 'Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky' but apart from that and it's a dreadful song I don't see why they wouldn't release it?

It has lyrics like this -

Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees

which are sexist and there has been a thing called the #MeToo movement.

[SueEllen]

That should never have been released at all. Just for the worst lip syncing in pop video history at the beginning. I've never been able to watch it past the first few minutes pure because of that.

I only remembered it because All Saints covered it and in their interviews "innocently" didn't seem to know what it was about....

As we're not supposed to comment on people's appearance either. I love the lyrics to this

You should have said it was that guy who is another well-known jailed sex terrorist.

Jesus wept. So they are... How on earth is that allowed! I can't believe that

Oh I'm deffo gonna go to one of them for sure. Pretty decent sized venues as well. Must admit I'd prefer to go see them in some grotty pub with everyone throwing ale around.

Think you might get your wish at the Barnsley one! Mind you they have some standards as Dewsbury isn't on there!
