Creepy song, creepy host....
I saw this on TCM tonight, and just about fell on the floor when, after Robert Osborne had mentioned during the intro that the movie's host (more of a VJ, really) Jimmy Savile, had been uncovered after his death as a serial child molester (one of the worst in British history), that the first song up was Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas hit, "Little Children", which contains these charming lyrics:
"Little children, you better not tell on me I'm tellin' you
Little children, you better not tell what you see And if you're good
I'll give you candy and a quarter
If you're quiet like you oughta be
And keep a secret with me".
Good Lord! Is that the official pedophilia anthem?
Possibly the creepiest song I've ever heard, and surprised that Savile didn't have them perform an encore of it .....
