' I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes , I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.' Brilliant song. that song appears to be about a lover who died and the darkness is his mood caused by her death. it's not misogyny. so you don't need to see a shrink for liking this one. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It neither promotes nor justifies violence Against women! but it sounds like a wedding song. it sounds way too upbeat. listen to Immortal Technique - Dance With the Devil he commits a violent act ... and then his life descends into hell ... so it's more "holistic". Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life And crying out to the sky 'cause he was lonely and scaredBut only the devil responded, 'cause God wasn't there And right then he knew what it was to be empty and coldAnd so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a song that a choir will not be singing at half time at a rugby match . You still still sit at home and watch woman getting killed on television at night, no one is taking that away from you . You can watch Jack the Ripper movies in DVD all night long if you want 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) 13 hours ago, Baht Simpson said: I don't think it really justifies violence towards women. The protagonist acknowledges that they will break down the door to get him; he concedes what he's done is wrong. It is characteristic of many English folk ballads and murder ballads in general. Maxwell of Maxwell's Silver Hammer murders two women on a whim. Matty Groves? But we are told what Maxwell did with his hammer, whereas in Delilah "I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more." Quite artful. Or did he use the knife to cut a piece of smelly cheese, which she found disgusting? ???? It can really go off the rails with sanitizing classical theatre, opera, etc. The Kate Blanchett movie "Tar" touches on this kind of thing; "but I'm not into cis composers" says one of the characters.

LaosLover Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I was listening to an early blues guitar distorter, Pat Hare, today. He wrote "I'm Going To Murder My Baby". And then he did actually murder his baby. So what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Well I've never been to a rugby match and doubt I ever will. As for the song itself, I've sung along with with it, and until now never even associated it with any thing bad, it was/is just a song. Folks watch porn and for the most part just know it's fantasy. Same with music, you sing along but doubt many people are mentally influenced by it Somebody thinking up this stuff must have too much time on their hands at work 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomangosteen Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Singing at the rugby. No Delilah. Swing low sweet chariot is not popular. And, next, Flower of Scotland: The former Scotland rugby coach Jim Telfer has reiterated his stance that his country's national anthem should be changed on the eve of the Six Nations. Telfer, 82, believes it is time for the anthem to be shelved because of its anti-English connotations. He has long vocalised his desire for change for the song that was first adopted by the Scottish rugby team when he was forwards coach back in 1990. Telfer has now reiterated his stance on the song that references Scotland's victory over English forces at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. "Back then [in 1990], it really got the crowd behind us, but I’d like to think we have moved on..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a record that had 'I want my baby back' called 'The Rhino Brothers Present the World's Worst Records'. Fun record. Not the sort of thing for choirs to sing at the footy. Same as this song. May seem politically correct if used to it but from afar it is not hard to see their point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans always sung that song and they wasn't banned or stopped from singing the song , that song was just removed from the choirs playlist . But it seems that juvenile behaviour is accepted as being normal these days , doing things that you have been asked not to do . That is what children do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
