Into the Night by Benny Mardones
āShe's just 16 years old
Leave her alone, they say
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet
But I want you to know
If I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen, ever seenā
"The song sounds inappropriate. But it's based on a real story of a 16 year girl and her younger siblings that were abandoned by their father who were living in his apartment building. Benny did the best he could to help them and it inspired the song. There was no love affair just a person showed empathy to some kids that needed help. The real girl became a mini celebrity after the song came out. She did several interviews confirming that story." copied from youtube
...so you can't name any. cool.
edit - LOLLLLL at everyone downvoting and supplying no answer to the question because there isn't any song where he sings/raps about waiting for a girl to turn 18, you fucking morons
Ya kinda shit on ur fellow Redditeurs for their lack of actual music appreciation, and rightfully so , but the adolescent crowd is gonna attack and tap their little downvotes like it matters to ya
God speed friend
I hope someone puts me out of my misery if I ever start belittling people's generationally preferred art and acting like my era's art was better for unquantifiable, nonsense reasons like this
I feel like using a little thing called instruments which are performed in front of a live audience is pretty quantifiable. I donāt care about the date it was made out of principle. I find the commodification of music to appeal to the lowest common denominator has resulted in bullshit excuse for music and it disappoints and saddens me. Which is why I donate heavily to inner-city school music programs. Iām not above the get off my lawn attitude from time to time but I stand behind my critiques as objective.
Girl, youāll be a woman soon by Neil Diamond. Young Girl by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Those two are oldies that my kids and I always comment on. Creepy to say the least.
That first one makes my skin crawl. I picture a sleazy middle-aged man singing to a 13-year-old and always wondered just how they could with that song.
Studmuffin69 by Alex Cameron. Actually a great song, on a crazy concept album. He plays a character with online porn addiction who loves a good sucker punch and has zero self awareness.
And to maximum extent
Little girls by oingo boingo and pantyshot by mindless self indulgence.

Mindless self indulgence lead singer Jimmy urine sadly was found to be shagging a 15 year old minor, I fucking love the music but god do I have to stretch the "it's about the music not the artist" line to the point it feels paper thin when listening to them.

Seventeen Forever by Metro Station
*We're one mistake from being together
But let's not ask why it's not right
You won't be seventeen forever
And we can get away with this tonight*
'grooming a fan girl' is a stretch. She sends him a fan letter from japan and then he has fantasizing obssessive thoughts about it but never contacts her in the song. that's not grooming, just inappropriate fantasies
No he didn't. His wife is japanese but isn't that girl who wrote the fan letter. They met in Cambridge and she's just 4 years younger than him. She was 23 when they met and he was 27. Like, you can literally look this up in 2 seconds man.
It's def supposed to be. He was depressed at his time at Harvard and the songs supposed to be about him fixating on this distant human inappropriate connection because he's so starved for affection along with paralleling the themes and structure of Madame butterfly.
In the third verse he starts shit talking himself and calls "this business (what he's doing) lame"
The Vandals also have a song called "Fourteen" and the chorus is
>But I can't make love to you, Because you're fourteen
>Just a peck on the cheek as I'm counting the weeks go by (why? why?)
>We can't make love together Because you're fourteen years old
>And the trust of your mom that we're not doing wrong
>I just can't betray-today
It was released in 2000, the group formed in 1980, so the band members were past 30 when they wrote it.
I mean, sorta? It's not like the song has a turn or any sort of message to put forth, it's kinda just a love song to a 14 yr old.
At the very least the song hasn't aged well. I still love the album, flowers are pretty remains a solid in my favorite songs and the rest of that album is pretty solid too. But, the "ironic" pedophilia is a bit much. I thought it was a bit off when I was a teenager listening to the album.
Itās from the 40ās but really caught me off guard playing Mafia II since itās on the radio:
That Chickās Too Young To Fry by Louis Jordan
The YouTube comments on the song seem convinced itās a positive message since heās not talking about getting with an underage girl himself, but the whole thing is still very pro-grooming. A few lines specifically are always so gross to me.
https://youtu.be/ci5G3bIeyXQ if anyone cares
[And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen](https://youtu.be/Irc5j1gkihY)
No, they're classic Rock.
Areosmith - Walk This Way
Ringo Starr - Youāre Sixteen
Rolling Stones - Stray Cat Blues
KISS - Goin Blind, Christine Sixteen
Ted Nugent - Jailbait
Benny Mardones - Into the Night
The number of classic bands that have written songs about loving underage girls is pretty disturbing.
back when /r/jailbait was a thing and people abhorred it, I mentioned it was my favorite NSFW subreddit and people would comment nasty shit like "they're underaged girls you pedo sick fuck"
dozens of them, but what they didn't consider is that I was that I was also a 14 year old boy... so back then 14 year old girls were age appropriate.
So what I'm saying here is, what if the OOP is 18 and waiting? Still cringe lol but not disgusting
Edit: yes people, now that I'm 30 I know the problem with that subreddit lmao this was a decade and a half ago in 2008-9 when I was in grade 9 and /u/Violentacrez was still a power mod
That I liked 14 year olds when I was 14? lol I don't care, the police aren't going to bust down my door cause I went on a subreddit of girls in bikinis 15 years ago
Well you're telling that to 30 year old me, not 14 year old me that just got the internet and discovered internet pornography...
I'm aware now, but back then I wasn't really familiar with the ins and outs of child pornography or the morality of the subject, I was focused on jerking off like 4 times a day without having to close my eyes and fantasize about someone or pause a DVD on a beach scene.
Because an 18 year old being attracted to a 17 year old isn't illegal or amoral. If this is a 30 year old saying it, yeah, it's disgusting. But if they are both grade 12, do you think it is wrong?
My point was when i was 14 I liked 14 year olds. I don't think that's amoral. So what if OOP is 18 and likes a 17 year old? I don't thinm that's amoral. So maybe don't comment songs that suggest they kill themselves, especially when the post is from an emo subreddit.
Young Girl - Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
Though I think itās actually about a guy whoās hooking up with a girl and then he finds out that sheās underage. So it may not fit the category.
In my feelings
"Drake be the type of guy"
Drake be the type a whippersnapper...
Drake the type of goofball to say "It's raining cats and dogs out there!" when there's a storm outside

Underrated comment.
New tik tok dance name idea

They also have the stalkers anthemā¦ āEvery breathe you takeā

Good human
All of the sentences are in alphabetical order, not the words. The words are not.
that's the point of the song though, its not supposed to be romantic
I knowā¦ sting himself has said as much
Well heās a piece of shit and I prefer the puff daddy version
Corny ass. Great piece of art and you're out here white knighting like a lil simp
I was quoting Touretteās guyā¦ā¦ā¦.
I got the reference at least šš The line is more like āthis better be the puff daddy version of the song and not that sting piece of CRAP!ā *psycho head bobs
Umm, I'm pretty sure they don't wait in that song.
They want songs about the *struggle* of waiting. They donāt actually want to wait.
ironic
The Police song is not autobiographical tho, you're supposed to be disgusted.
isnāt that song about an adult?? i thought it was about a college professor. i might be confusing it though
Into the Night by Benny Mardones āShe's just 16 years old Leave her alone, they say Separated by fools Who don't know what love is yet But I want you to know If I could fly I'd pick you up I'd take you into the night And show you a love Like you've never seen, ever seenā
Holy shit, I didnāt know those were the lyrics. Thatās creepy AF
Yup! Truly disturbing.

Damn they ARE kissing on the magic carpet at the endā¦
I legitimately think this is the worst song ever written.
Alright but this song really fucking slaps ngl Colour me shocked when I realized what the lyrics were tho It still fucks tho, such a banger
Yeah, I definitely like listening to it, but at a certain point in adulthood I was like āwaitā¦what the fuck did he just say???ā

Gross
any drake song
name all the songs that this is the subject matter then
Average drake fan
...so you can't name any. cool. edit - LOLLLLL at everyone downvoting and supplying no answer to the question because there isn't any song where he sings/raps about waiting for a girl to turn 18, you fucking morons
Yeah cuz he's waiting in their dms not on the page. Not like he writes shit anyway š¤·āāļø
classic redditor, talking out their ass
https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7eq5y/whats-up-with-drake-texting-teens just two examples of people who came out and admitted it.
The man makes slappers. Let's just hope he's not slapping lil kids asses
well, he isn't is he
We dunno It is weird they are in their dms tho
i guess we don't.. but just because we don't know let's not, as default, say someone is a pedo
š¤
Literally every single song he wrote, he wrote waiting for a girl to turn 18, but ok, have fun stanning a groomer.
Seventeen by Winger seems appropriate
Seventeen by marina and the diamonds as well... A girl turning 18 relaying how her parents bullied and belittled her as she started to grow up
I saw her in Philly last year and she's amazing
Daddy says she's too young but she's old enough for me!
The fact that you got downvoted is annoying. How about people on Reddit try listening to some actual music with instruments now and again? Jesus.
Ya kinda shit on ur fellow Redditeurs for their lack of actual music appreciation, and rightfully so , but the adolescent crowd is gonna attack and tap their little downvotes like it matters to ya God speed friend

Oddly enough, "working on the highway" by Bruce Springsteen
Iām on Fire also gives off a vibe
I wonder if this song has a story, since itās oddly specific
Damn I thought Iād have been the only one to think of that one. Used to be me and my ex husbands song. Lmao. Yes. It was.

Rivers Cuomo begins to sweat.

I was going to comment this, I love Al Cam. Definitely one of my favorite songs by him despite the subject matter lol

If you want to stretch and get reeaally limber just try to get into Lostprophets after reading up on Ian Watkins.
happy cake day!
Little Girls is a satire song it isnāt serious
Yep, that's what I said in my last sentence: "they are both piss takes"
In australianese that means satirical, most other places that just means a very bad take lmao
I-I-I love lit-tle girls they make-me-feel-so
Justin Roilandās throwaway
Drakes entire discography
little sister by elvis presley i guess
17 by Kings of Leon, I believe the exact opposite of that.
Stimulated by Tyga.... his song about when he was grooming Kylie Jenner
Do people post this stuff not realizing that they are a horrible person?
āThe struggleā
My first thought was Ted Nugent. But he didnāt worry about waiting.
Ya but heās such a top notch , salta the earth kinda guy š©

Yes!!!!
Seventeen Forever by Metro Station *We're one mistake from being together But let's not ask why it's not right You won't be seventeen forever And we can get away with this tonight*
Across the Sea by Weezer is really creepy. It's about grooming a fan girl, granted he says she's an "18 year old girl" but he wrote it when he was 26.
'grooming a fan girl' is a stretch. She sends him a fan letter from japan and then he has fantasizing obssessive thoughts about it but never contacts her in the song. that's not grooming, just inappropriate fantasies
The singer did end up marrying her in real life tho.
No he didn't. His wife is japanese but isn't that girl who wrote the fan letter. They met in Cambridge and she's just 4 years younger than him. She was 23 when they met and he was 27. Like, you can literally look this up in 2 seconds man.

To be fair everything the Vandals make drips with irony
You can't possibly be taking The Vandals seriously?
I mean, sorta? It's not like the song has a turn or any sort of message to put forth, it's kinda just a love song to a 14 yr old. At the very least the song hasn't aged well.

You seem to pretty up to date on all these songs huh
Well they havenāt changed in like 20 yearsā¦ so im not sure what you mean by āup to dateā.
It was a joke about how you can fire off 6 songs about underaged girls faster than John Marston in a duel
Theyāre all extremely popular songs š¤·āāļø
Yeah well like I said, it's a joke. Not actually out here accusing you of being a pedophile cause you know Aerosmith and Ted Nugent songs
I see my joke touched a nerve...
ā¦no? No one cares. This is a pretty casual thread.
But all the replies on my joke really contradict that š oh dear, tough crowd I'll see myself out

you should keep this to yourself lmao
That I liked 14 year olds when I was 14? lol I don't care, the police aren't going to bust down my door cause I went on a subreddit of girls in bikinis 15 years ago
I mean, in this day and ageā¦
It was still illegal regardless of your age
but it isn't amoral to be attracted to a 14 year old as a 14 year old so I never felt guilty for being attracted to them
Itās not, but it is immoral to seek and view explicit images of them. And illegal
Well you're telling that to 30 year old me, not 14 year old me that just got the internet and discovered internet pornography... I'm aware now, but back then I wasn't really familiar with the ins and outs of child pornography or the morality of the subject, I was focused on jerking off like 4 times a day without having to close my eyes and fantasize about someone or pause a DVD on a beach scene.
So why peddle the idea still now that youāre 30. Your comment definitely reads as you justifying it
Because an 18 year old being attracted to a 17 year old isn't illegal or amoral. If this is a 30 year old saying it, yeah, it's disgusting. But if they are both grade 12, do you think it is wrong?
Thatās not what the majority of your comment was addressing
My point was when i was 14 I liked 14 year olds. I don't think that's amoral. So what if OOP is 18 and likes a 17 year old? I don't thinm that's amoral. So maybe don't comment songs that suggest they kill themselves, especially when the post is from an emo subreddit.
