Pedo lyrics wouldn't go over today!


From I Kissed a Gal: "She said my kisses were from heaven, then I learned she was eleven". Lol, can you imagine this in a film today?

Didn't they say she was from Mississippi? Maybe not that unusual there at the time.

I am a very decisive person, I think.

They're not "pedo" lyrics. The singer is not a pedophile; the only time he is romantically involved with the female is BEFORE learning her true age. Once the singer learns that she is underage, he becomes disinterested (note the horrified expression on the singer's face at this point in the song).

Now, if he'd given a sly wink to the camera, expressing pleasure, you might have a point.
