Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma

Oh my god. Talk about giving me a big-time flashback. In elementary school, a friend of mine and me came up with our own version of this called "Look What They've Done to My Parrot, Ma". We actually sang this in chorus once. Heh. Good times.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hey now! I just said I'd consider it.

Hee! Sorry babe.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What is even happening?

I flashed back when I ran across the title too, Frank, because it's one of the songs I learned when I was taking guitar lessons, as a kid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How did THAT get on the radio?

First video banned by MTV?

Ann, that's a ferret.

You can go back quite a way with double entendre lyrics.

Well, he walked up to me and asked me if I wanted to dance
He looked kinda nice and so I said I might take a chance
When we danced he held me tight
Then he walked me home that night
All the stars were shining bright
And then he kissed me.

...

He kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before
He kissed me in a way that I wanna be kissed forevermore.

And by the end of the '60s, there was a Top 10 hit about a bisexual love triangle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

First video banned by MTV?

I was trying to work out if the video was banned in Britain. Since I can't remember it, it might have. I Want Your Sex was banned too (but it's about monogamy! insists George), but I remember that video very very clearly.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

First video banned by MTV?

Couldn't have been. It was MTV all the time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before

Oooh, THAT way.

Everytime the Who's "Who are You" plays, and that line "Who the fuck are you!" plays, Hubby and I just shake our heads. I've never heard it bleeped, and I'm wondering if the censors have all gone deaf or zoned out by the time that part plays.
