Lyrics from our favorite songs may have given poor love advice
You see, I've discovered the real reason why so many baby boomer marriages are in trouble. Are you ready for this? Our parents were right: it was our music.
Let me explain. I was listening to an oldies station the other day. A tune we all know came on — one I'd name it if I wasn't afraid of getting sued.
You'll recognize the story: a girl (the singer) throws a party and invites her boyfriend, Johnny. They're each off doing their own thing when, all of a sudden, she notices he is dancing with somebody named Judy. And what's even worse, Judy is wearing Johnny's class ring. (Now, all this is also documented in another song by the same group; it's a complicated story, so it takes two songs.)
Not to be outdone, our heroine grabs the nearest guy and plants a more-than-just-friendly kiss on his rather surprised lips. Of course, no sooner does this innocent bystander unpucker when Johnny rushes over and plants a fist right where the kiss had been.
Now, we don't know anything else about this guy, but we can assume he probably needed some major dental work. Judy, however, bursts into tears. Johnny takes his ring back and he and the singer are joyfully reunited.
Who wants to put money on the future marital bliss of this happy couple?
So, what did we learn about relationships from all this? Well, other than the fickleness of people named Judy and Johnny, we found out that commitment doesn't mean much; we shouldn't bother trying to talk things out; when we are hurt and angry, we should get even; violence is an acceptable way to settle an argument; and if a strange girl kisses you, duck.
This is just one example. Think of some of the other things we heard daily on the radio. What adolescent boy didn't dream of the girl he thought was "So Fine," or would proclaim to the world "I Will Follow Him."
How many girls decided such devotion was the key to romantic success or wished their guys returned the favor, perhaps sounding like the Everly Brothers singing "Devoted to You."
And we all wanted a bit of "Love Potion No. 9." As we grew older we heard that "Satisfaction" had mainly to do with getting some "action" — and we all knew what that meant.
Seems like all of a sudden we've gotten serious here. I guess that's because, all kidding aside, our music did reflect and influence our understanding of how men and women were supposed to get along. And some of this understanding hasn't proven to be all that useful. There's a lot more to relationships than teasing and flirting, instant infatuation, passionate romance or sex.

And for the small number of preteens that might not know, isn't puberty a fine time to learn? I realize that Kidz Bop is geared toward younger children but if we start censoring the words gay and lesbian out of mainstream use, then aren't we implying
And the band's songs reflect just that. Between the ages of 13 and 17, Martini wrote over 120 songs and that is all the band performs now, years later. Martini says you can tell some of the songs were written by a teenager but that's just fine with him
I'm fine with that because, as we've been saying all along, our goal was to provide resources and talk to people about their experiences. Our goal has never been to get anyone to stop playing their music. Chalk it up to children not knowing any better.
One attendee, who seemed to think George W. Bush had already defined the Right's foreign policy just fine, asked in anger: What “good” was America if we didn't “fight evil?” McCarthy asked where we might find “fighting evil” in the Constitution.
Meltones - It'll Be Just Fine Lyrics
You would talk and then, let go.
We would sit there on the grass, try to catch the flow
Of thoughts always coming to our minds
And it will be just fine
I would laugh and then get high
Try to make all the stars fall from the sky
Oh, all your sad smiles and troubles left behind
And it will be just fine
A price to pay for now it's been a hundred days
Inside, I feel there's a silent broken dream
That I need your smile to be having a nice time
But you never see why they all are looking at me
And I'll hide away to forget my love is dead
And I'll find, someday why you'll blow my heart instead
I would kiss you at that place
The very same one you filled with grace
You would tell me those words, and always make me shine
'Cause they will be just fine
But soon you'll cry, and slam the door
I'll be calling you, always wanting for more
Of you. I don't know, if what I did was right
When everything was fine
A price to pay for now it's been a thousand days
Inside, I'm sure that you miss me evenmore
And I'll burn my head (and) think of all those things I said
But I'll always care, afraid of every step you take
And I'll hide away to forget those tears I she'd
And I'll find, someday why you'll blow my heart instead
And I will rise, rise, and feel the inside out...
I'm generally fine with OF's lyrics. But if Tyler and them feign that it's just stupid people than they are stupid themselves.
I KNOW. I can't even understand the lyrics of what they record but they hear it JUST fine. Like what even.
