No "we" haven't become this sensitive. Ok so its the radio station's choice but I believe that trying to sterilize the entire world in pursuit of things like #metoo just devalues the message. It's a bit nuts and people should stop searching for stuff that offends them/has a sinister meaning etc.

And I love the Tom Jones Cerys Matthew's version of this and i shant stop playing it.

Riccardo should have 'slapped his *** up'. He might have got away with that.

A pretty good debunking of the rapey theory here.

The song is deconstructed, and the lyrics analysed, and I fully agree with the conclusion of the author.

I love the Louis Jordan/Ella Fitzgerald version, and the rape interpretation is ridiculous.

This version has revised lyrics and was released a couple years ago

sp1814 - // No different to when Hole appear on The Word. //

Do you mean L7 - when singer Donita Sparks dropped her jeans and revealed her 'commando' status to the audience and viewers?
