In reply to the discussion: I did not think of it as a offensive oral sex joke, I read it "going down" jersey style "Sopranos" [View all]Riftaxe
(2,693 posts)15. Geesh, so now....
this song is about rampant sexual voyeurism?
Is it not more likely that a combination of hypersensitive people with dirty minds are reading more into christie's innane comment then is really there?
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

He is the pits, and I share your bewilderment about why people (Repukes) like him

All's fair, but if we push this angle it will show more about what's going down with US

I think Christie channels James Cagney a lot. He loves "tough talk", thinks he's cool. Crude

True...His..um.. "uninspiring" physique aside, I doubt he meant it in a sexual way.

I agree. And here's a typical example of it being used without any sexual connotations.

His use of the word "Sweetheart" made me think he was referring to oral sex.
