"Band On The Run" by Paul McCartney
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
And the jailer man and Sailor Sam
Were searching ev'ryone
For the band on the run
Why They're Inappropriate:
First, the jailer should be guarding the jail to see that the other inmates don't escape. The police are the ones who'd be looking for them. Second, what's a SAILOR got to do with anything? And third, why are they searching EVERYONE? Are there a lot of people who look like the fugitives?

Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop

It's no wonder this song is at the bottom of the Parent's Music Rresource Center's Filthy Fifteen. It's pretty obivous that this song is about masturbation. The chorus makes it that obvious.

I'm not gonna stop no no no

Clearly sexual. But I'm not sure of what kind of dirtiness it is, sounds like they're having sex in public.

"All For You" by Janet Jackson
The Dirty Lyrics:
Got a nice package alright
Guess I'm gonna have to ride it tonight
Why They're Dirty:
At first "All For You" may sound like an innocent upbeat dance-pop tune. But then you notice the whole X-rated lines about a package and "riding it tonight". Need I explain that the "package" refers to the volume of a guy's genitalia under his pants?

Song Lyrics That Name Check Celebrities:

""Rock & Roll Heaven" Parody (unknown)" by The Self-Righteous Brothers
The Lyrics:
This song came out in the mid-70's after the death of "Mama" Cass. It was made by an American comedy group (possibly Flo & Eddie, Firesign Theatre or The Credibility Gap), under the psuedonym "The Self-Righteous Brothers", not to be confused with the Australian group of the same name. Partial lyrics follow: She made her own kind of sandwich she used her own kind of bread She sat her own kind of table And now, she's her own kind of dead There's Janis and there's Otis And Ritchie Valens, he's dead too. There's Martin, John & Bobby And the late, great Lash Larue Does anyone know of this song? I haven't heard it in over 30 years.
Who They Mention:
"Mama" Cass Eliott, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Ritchie Valens, Martin Luther King, John & Robert Kennedy, Lash Larue

"Mothers Talk (Beat of the Drum Mix)" by Tears For Fears
The Lyrics:
James Brown, James Brown, James Brown, James Brown
Who They Mention:
This is a remix of a single from "Songs From the Big Chair" and is found on the deluxe edition CD reissue. This song is mostly instrumental, but in parts of it Roland Orzabal is heard repeating "James Brown" in the background. This shout-out to the Hardest Working Man in Show Business isn't heard in the original version of the song.

Scary Song Lyrics:

"Our Lady of Sorrows" by My Chemical Romance
The Lyrics:
And then we'll solve the mystery of laceration gravity
Why:
...It kind of paints violent mental images, if you ask me. Being virtually sliced up just by gravity.
Submitted by: Aninnymouse
"Early Sunsets Over Monroeville" by My Chemical Romance
The Lyrics:
Up and down escalators, pennies and colder fountains
Elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains
Running away and hiding with you
I never thought they'd get me here
Not knowing you'd change from just one bite
I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight

But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
But does anything matter if you're already dead?
And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
And in saying you loved me,
Made things harder at best,
And these words changing nothing
As your body remains,
And there's no room in this hell,
There's no room in the next,
But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed?
Why:
I'm not even entirely sure why this song creeps me out so much... It starts off for the most part seeming sane and good-natured. When it gets to this bit where it sounds to me like the girl is a vampire and he has to shoot her... Eh. It all changes. And I find that the music is tense and building, too.

Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
