and presumably when it was played at every kid's party, the line "girls
rock your boys" was sung at full voice, with an obvious change to the wording?
Incidentally what were the other 14 songs on that list? I think I might try and collate them all onto one CD
Let me think back to the great days of 83-84 and the obvious ones. It's actually pretty easy to remember a few of them too, which is scary.
Come said the boy - Mondo Rock. (Admittedly none of us believed at the time that a girl would actually grab a bloke's hand and say, please take me to the beach and bonk me senseless, I've waited too long.We knew that song was totally made up)
She Bop - Cyndi Lauper. (It wasn't until I was about 20 that I actually believed this song was about a young lady spending quality time with herself, but the one nun we had at the school had this one banned)
Am I Ever - The Angels. (While it wasn't officially banned, we had lost our spirit and didn't even put it up).
Little Red Corvette - Prince (Prince had very different teen years to myself, judging by a lot of his songs).
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC (Priests not big fans of Angus, sadly)
Roxanne - Police (No songs about prostitutes should be sung loudly by 16 year old Catholic girls on the dance floor because boys try and feel them up)
This could end up being a separate post -- Why I didn't have anything to do with my school for nearly two decades, because I had a lot of unresolved issues.
