Inappropriate Lyrics:
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world.
Why They're Inappropriate: Sure, some boys take a beautiful girl, just like some boys take another cute boy and some girls take a beautiful girl and so on... but, um, Cyndi, isn't this sometimes concidered kidnapping?

Dirty Lyrics:
"She Bop"
The Dirty Lyrics: We-hell-I see them every night in tight blue jeans-- In the pages of a Blue Boy magazine
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more They say I better stop--or I'll go blind.. Why They're Dirty: OK so the entire song is about masturbation, we know that. What people seem to miss is that the second line of the song mentions Blue Boy magazine which is a prominent gay men's porn mag. So now we know what she is masturbating too (Go Cyndi). Later she mentions going south and the old myth about going blind. Further on she talks about not being able to stop (almost an addictive quality to it). Its a great song, not at all subtle - yet so many people missed it. I love it.

| "She Bop"
The Dirty Lyrics: She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop, I hope he will understand She bop--he bop--a--we bop I bop--you bop--a--they bop Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop, Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop Why They're Dirty: It's no wonder this song is at the bottom of the Parent's Music Rresource Center's Filthy Fifteen. It's pretty obivous that this song is about masturbation. The chorus makes it that obvious.

Real Places Mentioned in Songs:
"Hole In My Heart (All The Way To China)"
The Lyrics: This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
Why: A reference to the country of China, even though the notion of a "hole all the way to China" is a cliched hyperbole. It is an expression that I've often heard in the U.S. at least, where it seems to be used as if China represented the complete opposite side of the world from the U.S. It actually does not, by quite a long way. For most of the U.S. at least, the actual antipode (compete opposite side of the Earth) is somewhere in the Indian Ocean, closer to Australia than to China.
