I'm just glad Mercyful Fate was big enough to be included. Melissa is a fantastic album.
CyanideBreathMint
Been a while since I said this, but once again, Fuck. Tipper. Gore.

tyvm, you just saved me 10 minutes of doing this myself to share here :D

Surprised Billy Idol didn’t make it with “Dancing With Myself.”

I thought The Mentors made the list
ThatMangoAteMyBabyy
Tipper Gore. The wife of AL Gore.

That's the one from Madonna that they thought was about sex? For years I thought Like A Prayer was actually about praying.
Jewdakris
I feel like the entire list could have been Madonna but this is the worst offender?
bemibet
Whoa, "She Bop" is about masturbation?! That one was too subtle for me!
WindowStreetJournal
Other Madonna songs with sexual subtext: Erotica, Justify My Love, Where life begins, and the list goes on...
thereitis101
By the way, before shouting those damn conservatives! The leader was Tipper Gore. Al Gore’s wife.
jayhaJapeLord
That whole mercyful fate album can be classed as "occult" and well pretty well every song king diamond sings!
Tomigami
I love how the song titles get more and more overt. I expected the last one to be something like "After I'm Done Fuckin' I Fuck Some More" by the Hot Nut Busters (it was a real banger)
DefundIsraelTheGenocidalNation
The Cult. Rain. Sex (squirting)
rumandbass
Literally 95% of music is about sex
brassmule
Algore's wife was truly a national treasure.
HolyShitDudeCalmDown
Weird how censorship back then was ludicrous, but censorship nowadays is responsible.
MCTMCT
I never though I'd see Madonna and Cyndi Lauper on the same list with Venom and Mercyful fate.

Shout out to Judas Priest! Eat me alive is a dope song

Wait - "She Bop" is about masturbation? I still remember my sister and mom singing that on long car trips. Now that's become a disturbing memory.
Copperbrat
Your mom and your sister bop. Ain't no law against it yet.
chipjack
Whole point of the song was to express that everybody masturbates and it's weird to act like it's some kind of crime.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Well, I see 'em every night in tight blue jeans
In the pages of a Blueboy magazine
Hey, hey, I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up good vibrations
Oop, she bop, she bop
Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar?
Yeah, I wanna go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
Oop, she bop, she bop
Christoftaylor
“Stop or I’ll go blind” kinda removes all ambiguity
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
For reference, Blueboy was the gay men's answer to Playboy.
rbudrick
I thought that was Playgirl.
Spidey209
She Bop? WTF?
petpet3d
He stokes it, she bops it

If your in the game then stroke's the word.
Soboredwithlife
#1 What a sweet girl. Knew a girl named Nikki; I guess you could say she was a sex fiend; I met her in a hotel lobby; Masturbating with a magazine; She said, "How'd you like to waste some time?"; And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind
myfirstandlastpostever
I mean, was she getting off on the content of said magazine or did she have it rolled up? /s
Spidey209
All seems pretty platonic to me.

Three songs written by Prince, he must have been proud
OuchYoureonmyhair
I guess you could, in some convoluted way, think that those lyrics might be sexual.
Exyr
My partners favorite song. Its how I knew she was a keeper
MorningAmbedo
My parents were big Prince fans and didn't think too much about listening to him around me, but I was sent home on the first day of kindergarten for singing this song a capella on the playground during a spontaneous recess talent show. My partner heard that story and thought it was hilarious, called me a keeper too :)
acuteavocado7
why would u masturbate with a magazine? i would not want a paper cut in there
SithElephant
I thought on first decade listening to it that it referred to the firearm accessory.
GuysJustWannaFish
Although that is the first image that comes to mind, she probably had a magazine in one hand to look at, and the other hand was doing the work
Hevach
Before internet speeds advanced enough to allow photograph quality images pornography was primarily distributed in print form, often accompanied by extensive articles on many subjects to provide plausible deniability that nobody would ever believe.
acuteavocado7
i guess that was a dumb joke then
Mountaineer30680
We just thought you were about 20 y/o
zinif
I'm not totally sure why, but seeing Cyndi Lauper on this list is pretty funny.
JaromirAzarov
And next to Venom to boot...
torokunai
that particular song was a fair cop tho . . .
JohnWickdidnothingwrong
Right after Venom, no less, that's quite a jump in tone.
dbox
I most certainly did giggle snort seeing her name
crashmat
I had no idea of the meaning of this song until now and I was around at the time
teardropivyyearofthetiger
It’s hilarious
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Huh, girls just want to have fun
DukeDarkwood
That's all they really want!
LanceTex
Nine Inch Nails should have been near the top of that list - "I'm gonna F-you like an animal"
MrHappyDude
That list was for 1985
LanceTex
Right - I'm about 10yrs early for that one.
janeQdoe
When have outraged conservatives ever been on the right side of history? If you don't like it, don't listen, but stop telling others what they can and can't do. Moral police, stay in your homes
BayazTheBenevolent
You're off the mark there, this was an org headed by Al Gores wife. If you don't remember, he was Clinton' VP. Democrats. Center right, not far right. :)
janeQdoe
Being conservative isn't the same as being in the conservative party of a 2 party system, nor does being liberal mean democrat.
Bunhyung
The PMRC weren't necessarily "outraged conservatives."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipper_Gore?wprov=sfti1
janeQdoe
She wasn't in the conservative party of our 2 party system, but she is/was conservative in her views
Hadestown24
It was more of an old white lady organization than a conservative one. Even liberals were railing against rap music in the 80s and 90s
janeQdoe
Not actual liberals. Just the more liberal of the 2 parties in our 2 party system.
brassmule
Algore, as you may recall, was Bill Clinton's VP and ran for Pres in 2000 (arguably he won in 2000). His wife *was* the PMRC.
janeQdoe
Conservative doesn't mean conservative party. It means conservative thinking. The democrats don't espouse all that is liberal, after all.
brassmule
Algore's father also participated in a rather famous Senate filibuster, as I recall. Some oddball bill from 1964 that he also voted against. The Civil Rights Act of 1964. Probably not an important bill...
LateNightBunnyParty
What a...creative spelling of Al Gore's name.
PastureofMuppets
Al Gore is not his father or his wife. He is the strongest early politician advocate calling for action against climate change
DrewThe3DPrinterGuy
We’re Not Gonna Take It seems really tame compared so some of those other ones.
CritterMazes
It could cause an uprising against the system. So the system got worried
teardropivyyearofthetiger
She bop was not that controversial
Slashenaar
A lot of emotionally immature parents couldn't handle the healthy teenage 'developing an independent sense of self' that is really the fed-up heart of the song to many- so it made a buncha insecure white men scared
DFTM06
But the dad's acting was intense.
nation543
That's just to get everything going. Or it could be used as a safe song.
cgt9803
In my House isn't explicit either. It's typical innuendos about getting busy like a hundred other songs.
WisconsinPlatt
But the group's name...
Mary Jane Girls....
What in the name of D.A.R.E were they thinking
And being connected to Rick James likely didn't help
hiddendragon
PRMC seems to have gotten the song confused with the video, even though the violence in the video is similar to Looney Tunes hijinks.
testzero
But it encouraged talking back to your parents, or something.
Ghlargh
Oh, they tried to get Looney Tunes banned for graphic violence too.
nodscene
Frontman Dee Snider spoke out on PMRC. Maybe that's why they made the list...
AlmostClever
He also testified on Capitol Hill alongside John Denver and Frank Zappa against it! His exchange with Al Gore is phenomenal.
tzahtman
I thought it was Tipper Gore?
AnimusRex
Tipper is Al's wife, she wasn't in attendance I don't think. But he eviscerated her remarks to al
L1ttl3J1m
And the repubs only invited John Denver because they thought he would be on their side.
SergeyPrkl
Not just spoke, but murdered them on spot.
Vergenbuurg
...and then John Freaking Denver unexpectedly torched the remains even further.
SergeyPrkl
Yeah. Wasn't Frank Zappa there too?
ElbowDeepInAllTheThings
Violence? What the fuck?
ProbablyOnlyOnce
The music video came under some attack by these groups because there was some very tame Looney Tunes violence in it with a kid blasting his dad out a window with a guitar riff.
DidaChikDumaChum
Guitar riff violence is a real menace. Just yesterday someone mugged an old lady with cowboys from hell riff in my neighborhood
JayEnfield
Well it specifically says "We'll fight the powers that be", which is obviously a threat to the powers that be, such as the PMRC (aka Al Gore's wife).
Bobbobbobobbananafanafobob
The lyrics are actually "we'll fight what powers that bee" - it's an anti pollen power anthem
MechaNinja
You see Dee Snider really hates the band WASP, and this was an attempt at stocastic terrorism directed at them. Referencing bees instead of anything specific about wasps gives him plausible deniability.
MCpeepantz
Youre just twisting it, sister!
