Some songs don't age well. [View all]

Some songs don't age well. Meanings change and social opinions evolve. For instance, Ringo no longer sings "You're Sixteen (you're Beautiful And You're Mine)". It just doesn't play well these days.

Gary Puckett and The Union Gap were such pervs they would have gotten airplay on the Epstein jet:
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl

With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe you're old enough
To give me love
And now it hurts to know the truth

Another that may have been banned 40 years later is "Windy" by The Association. It was stuck in my head the other day and I started checking the lyrics. There are only two reasons a girl would get the nickname Windy these days. One is that she talks too much, but the lyrics imply it's something else:

"Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
Callin' a name that's lighter than air?
Who's bendin' down to give me a rainbow?
Everyone knows it's Windy"

And just what is a rainbow and why does she have to offer them under stairways?
