vsmith1 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Crikey - there's a lot of out set list here. Plus the edited lyrics: Teenage Dirtbag (guns, dick) Forget You (feel complete change even the title) We used to do Lily Allen's Not Fair and our lead female vocalist changed some words because her kids were in the audience. I don't blame her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 We do Gary Glitter's 'leader of the gang'. It's still a new addition to the set but it's going down storm. I'd have thought if the 'general gig going public' were going to get upset by it they'd have told us by now. We also do a bit of Amy Winehouse - doesn't mean we're supportive of substance abuse. How many of us do Phil Spector stuff? Doesn't mean we're fans of murderers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Granted that a lot of that early RocknRoll stuff was a bit, erm, questionable (didn't Chuck Berry actually get convicted of doing something with a girl in her mid-teens? - whilst Jerry Lee Lewis notably didn't IIRC), and pretty much anything by Glitter is a no-no, I can't help feeling we're getting a bit squeamish around these parts. I always thought that offensive and/or explicit lyrics were a perfectly acceptable part of the rock business - I played in a function band that did a lot of corporate and wedding gigs. We had 'Teenage Dirtbag' in our set for ages, and audiences loved it. We never, ever got a single complaint about it. Part of it is knowing what the audience is likely to tolerate of course, but even so.... If you took away all the songs with offensive lyrics just because they had offensive lyrics, most adolescents of the last 50 years would have had nothing to listen to at all!

Bikenbass Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Paul Rodgers version of 'Good Morning Little School Girl' (tribute to Muddy cd) is quite disturbing and sounds (to me anyway) very sleazy. I skip over that track as I find it uncomfortable. However, Muddy Waters' rendition, on the Anthology cd, causes no such concern. It was 'Claire' saying to her Uncle Ray that she wanted to marry him, not the other way round on Gilbert O'Sullivan's recording. Nothing untoward there.

seashell Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 .. interesting discussion around all those songs about under age girls. And yet as far as I know it's still OK to do 'Delilah' and 'Hey Joe'. Which are both about murdering someone. Come to think of it, I'd love to see a band that did Delilah [b]and [/b]Hey Joe.

We dropped Delilah a while back but we dig it out from time to time - our Hey Joe with a reggae ending has been going forever. That - the Gary Glitter - the poor taste Amy Winehouse tribute ('other dead smackheads are available ') - the Sweet Home Alabama but let's not mention burning crosses - Jesus just left Chicago with the altered lyrics about bestiality has your average Christian heading for the door - Michael Jackson gags - Whitney gags etc etc etc Dr Blue - Guaranteed to mildly upset everyone for our general amusement - long may it continue !!
