There are some 80s songs that come off a little stalkery, paranoid, demented...
Are there any 80s songs that make you wonder wtf?
I like this one but....

Billy Idol what have you done with this poor girls face?
Love this song, but the lyrics are really WTF

Dance Hall Days - Wang Chung
Whoa! I know this song but I guess I never paid attention to the lyrics. I have many questions, but I don’t think I want the answers! Wtf indeed.
shareAnother one that weirds me out is Turning Japanese by the Vapors. I know it was on a Mini Pops record I had, and then hearing it in it's entirety as a teenager I was so confused. I know I've read that it was more about going crazy after the loss of a girlfriend, but I don't get that.

Before I even listen, people always told me this song was about masterbation?
Gonna check it out and see wtf with this one.
Apparently that isn't true according to the band....who knows though.
shareYeah that one got weird too. I’m not sure what turning Japanese has to do with anything, but this guy sounds very murdery to me.
He’s in a cell, wants a picture of a girls insides, and is avoided like a cyclone ranger? Wtf. He’s way into murder is my guess.
Yeah, stalkers, paranoid, not cool....but demented, that’s okay, especially when girls can do it too!
Posted it a bunch, but it never gets old for me once I found it...heard it back when it came out in the 80s and loved the spirit and energy!....I know you like punk so I doubt you’ll be offended froggy...a new fave of MC poster nyctc7, who’s declared it “the greatest song ever recorded” plenty of times:

Yes, the 80s get a lot of stick, but it was cool to grow up with shyt like this...good times!
See, you get me. I agree, demented is a positive thing. I’m not into my head ending up in a bucket in someone’s basement demented, but deranged humor can be quite fun.
😂Good song, definitely not offended. I wouldn’t call it a wtf song though, it seems pretty right on. I would think this is a very relatable song for any female, and for any man that’s ever been with a female.
Got ya...I always liked the line ”don’t even think about it tonight...of course I’d be wearing white!” ....classic!

🤣omg mojo, amazing! That was funny as fuck and I’m about to listen again. Straight shit talking. Hush puppy shoe wearing😆
Obviously this is wtf, nobody should speak to their lady this way, but dude did have some funny lines and was just going off!
He’s got some kick ass back ground singers too. 😀
shareGeorge Michael's Father Figure comes to mind. I assume it's suppose to be about a Dom/sub romantic fantasy, but the metaphor is just disturbing. The video doesn't help matters.
shareThis is my go to George Michael song, but yeah it’s sketch. I’ve had this same discussion with a friend. We were reading the lyrics (which I had completely wrong btw) and they were definitely a little creepy.
share“ This is my go to George Michael song“ 💯 love this song, and the video as well.
For the George Michael fans: here is a version of Freedom that was being played a lot in the early 90’s that I like a lot more than the original. It mixes in Soul II Soul - Back to Life.
