I love this song SOOOO much but the drunk driving lyric brings pangs of guilt.

Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel


What other songs with questionably unethical lyrics do you obsess over?

I thought about posting some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers stuff, but there would be so many of their songs that qualify--i also am not comfortable with songs about things like child sexual abuse.

So here's something tamer:

@Setanta,
Sorry, those were the first two that popped into my head...

@boomerang,
What? I didn't complain about what you posted.

EDIT: To be clear, when i thought about RHCP, the first song that came to mind is the one about a father fondling his daughter. I certainly was not criticizing you.

I was always bothered, even as a girl, by Me and Mrs Jones

Great song, but all versions unsavory.

@Setanta,
Both of the songs I posted deal with child sex abuse so I thought your comment was directed at me.

I had actually thought about whether or not to post them based on that.

At the risk of starting a hare better left unstarted, i'll post this Police song. It's lyrics, like "Janie Got a Gun," are not explicit. Like the RHCP song, though, there's a strong element of blaming the victim. It has a creepy, troglodyte sort of ethic going on.
