Probably a Ted Nugent song
I was just thinking the other day about how I went to a highschool with the panther as the mascot, and how disgusting it is that we used to play Cat Scratch Fever in band at football games...
Stranglehold is another one. Yep, just a casual song about murdering your ex.
A shame because I really like the effects on the guitar.
Ted Nugent's jailbait is probably the worst I've seen from him (in song form).
"Well, I don't care if you're just thirteen You look too good to be true I just know that you're probably clean There's one little think I got do to you"
could be led zeppelin too. jimmy page had a 12 year old girlfriend that he locked in his hotel room
I'd assume its a song about a father talking about how much he loves his young daughter. Perhaps I'm just an optimist.

See also Ted Nugents "jail bait".
Tyler claimed their relationship was consensual and that he had immunity because he was her legal guardian at the time.
In what world does that make any fucking sense? "It's okay for me to groom her because I only had absolute legal authority over her."
Super fun fact that isn’t fun at all:
In most states (possibly all) if a child under 18 is married to an adult over 18, their legal guardian changes from their parents to their now-spouse. So teeeeechnically, depending on the situation for the change of guardianship, that could actually be a totally legit loophole. In a very much should never be allowed to happen sort of way, naturally.
Before this gets weird, I only know that because I needed to know liquor laws, as my state allows minors to drink with their legal guardian who is over 21 which does include spouses. Nobody honors that at all (typically not even for parents because it’s really hard to prove legal guardianship), but technically that’s how it works.
"I love when my girl is naked"
Oh heck
Think About Things by Daði Freyr is that - a parental love song for a literal baby.
“Christine! Sixte- err . . Seven . . Eighteen!”
“When I saw you comin’ outta school that day - I mean, uh, out of . . your office complex . . . Where you’re a, uh, regional sales manager . . . I knew I got to have you!”
"My Sharona" by The Knack is literally this.
I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind
What. The. Fuck.
Not only was My Sharona explicitly inspired by a 17yo girl the guitarist was dating, the name of their second album was "...But the Little Girls Understand"
These guys were pretty on the nose about what they liked...
Only band that was even more on the nose was Oingo Boingo with the song "Little Girls", though I guess the singer said it was meant to be some kind of sick joke intended to offend.
Also a random coincidence, but apparently the parody song "My Bologna" was what kickstarted Al Yankovic's career.
god damn it but thanks for curing my ignorance of this
New drake song just dropped
He's never going to walk away from this beef and I love it. Certified lover boy, certified pedophile.
She was just seventeen, you know what I mean
When they released that song, Paul was 20, which means he probably wrote it at 19 or 18. Not too creepy.
Yes, however, Ringo recorded "You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful and You're Mine" when he was 34. Which... ew.
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Me dancing at a Mexican party when I stop and listen to the lyrics like why are we dancing to this and my wife says just don't listen too closely
Colegiala? Yeah, ew.
I am not trying to be edgy. Just a very recent revelation..I didn't know until that movie that Elvis was dating a 14 year old. So the only progress in this scenario we made as humanity from Mohammed to Elvis was one year. I guess that's progress?
But honestly, reading the lyrics of classic rock has really really hindered my ability to listen to some of my favorite bands.
Just a light example. The Animals. Love. Don't let me me misunderstood.... Comes off as domestic abuse apologist. Maybe I'm way off. I'll show myself out.
Nina Simone recorded it a year before The Animals. At the time, it was regarded as a metaphorical statement about the Civil Rights Movement.
So the only progress in this scenario we made as humanity from Mohammed to Elvis was one year.
Aisha was 6 when they married and 9 when "the marriage was consummated", so it's more than one year. Still not great but pedophiles won't ever completely vanish.
The worst one in that vein for me is Little Girls by Oingo Bingo. It feels like it's trying to be a parody, but never quite gets there and just comes across as super uncomfortable.
It's definitely a parody, but a parody of something so uncomfortable that making fun of it puts a bad taste in your mouth, because you can't really mock it without.. ya know.. remembering that the music industry was (and probably still is) full of pedos, and that such things used to be perfectly acceptable...
It's definitely a satire but also yes very dark. The music video really makes it, for anyone who wants to see one of the most unhinged pieces of media out there in its full glory
how has nobody mentioned "Girl... You'll Be A Woman Soon" ?
Into the Night by Benny Mardones wouldn't necessarily sound so bad, but then you see the video and hooooooo boy it is not okay, not okay at all.
There was a band that performed at Disneyland for just one summer in 1981 named Halyx that wrote the song "Jailbait" with lyrics like this:
I, I, I said hey little cutie, I caught that look in your eyes, yes I did
Ah, ah, ooh, you make me weak, ooh, you give me butterflies
I said hey little cutie, looking for somewhere to go
You know you make me feel wanted, but not like it's a honorable
Why don't you wait till you're older, yeah yeah, you'll understand
Interestingly, this was written by the female lead singer about the recent introduction of age of consent laws.
Little girl don't notice me
watching as she innocently plays.
She can't see me staring at her
Because I'm always wearing shades.
Art Lover by The Kinks
The cover by Lambchop gives it the perfect vibe.
The 1970s and 1980s in Europe were a terrible time in regards of pedophilia. In the aftermath of the sexual revolution and the decriminalization of homosexuality, some people thought everything goes and weren't really stopped. Take people like Volker Beck in Germany who openly demanded pedophilia to be decriminalized or Daniel Cohn-Bendit, who wrote a text about having sex with a 6 year old (he was working at a Kindergarten at the time). And they were by far not the only people who went way too far.
Volker Beck later became a member of the German parliament (for ~20 years), a leading figure of green politics and is currently serving as the president of the German–Israeli Society. Daniel Cohn-Bendit later became a member of the European parliament (for ~20 years)...
Gary Puckett & The Union Gap would like to have a word.... (Young Girl, 1968)
(Felt this post, so many songs I used to love, and with worse than questionable lyrics :( )
"You're so hot, teasing me So, you're blue, but I can't take a chance on a chick like you That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild Ah, but girl, you're only a child"
I guess ABBA singers did the right thing?
Mark Little had a good bit on this topic, and Van Morrison.

I don't know how to link to specific times, but the bit is around the 6 minute mark.
