If you don't turn it down (I'm gonna call the cops)

I kissed a girl (and I vomited)

I'm gonna call the cops

If you're having trouble in class (ask for help)

Call your mom (if you're late)

Thanks for dinner, Mom and Dad

I know you want to (but I'm not ready)

If you know the answer (raise your hand)

I know you cheated ( and I'm tellin')

Well, Janet Jackson handled that with "Let's Wait Awhile", and then promptly took the other approach on her next album with "Someday is Tonight".

A great Austin band called the Wannabes have a song called "Girl (Let's Not Have Sex)" along the same lines.

Isn't "Let's Go to Bed" by the Cure along the same lines? A young couple with a bad case of nerves trying to talk each other out of the whole business? Or have I just been misinterpreting the song all these years?

Those sound like Louvin Bros song titles

That ho! Just kidding, Blas. I like Janet Jackson. Anyway, I'd like y'all to find some pro-cop songs.

"X-Offender" by Blondie is sort of pro-cop.

"cocksucker blues" by the rolling stones (where can i get my cock sucked?/where can i get my ass fucked?, etc.) and
"the screw" by the (oh so innocent) crystals

these songs were written. recorded, even. but you'll never hear them. at least not on the radio........

It's trivial to find Cocksucker Blues on YouTube, both the music and the Robert Frank documentary movie. Radio stations in more liberal communities could broadcast it between 10pm and 6am if they really wanted to...the FCC supposedly allows material considered indecent (but not obscene) to be aired when the kiddies are asleep. But I don't know why most radio stations would bother playing it. They'd be inviting nasty phone calls and letters from local prudes and risk their advertiser's wrath. And it really isn't all that great of a song.

By the way, the first time I heard Cocksucker Blues was when I heard it late at night on the radio.

I think a case could be made for obscenity on that one--therefore, no one would go near it, even outside the safe harbor. And then it would only take about 6 years, absurd debates, and a significant amount of tax dollars for it to work its way through the courts (if prior cases have shown us anything). In the meantime, sluggish oligopolies are maiming our popular culture while the FCC sits on its hands.
