The PMRC was a stupid idea then, and completely ridiculous now. Luckily, Dee Snider, John Denver and Frank Zappa (quite the trio) put them in their place. All the advisory stickers did (do) is make kids want to check them out even more. It is as if they (Tipper Gore and co.) were never kids themselves, and did not understand this. Maybe they were just lashing out at the fact they were forbidden to do anything, so they wanted the kids of the 80s and 90s to be deprived like they were. The whole issue is stupid. If Tipper did not want her kid to listen to Prince, all she had to do was talk to her kid. This whole issue started because of bad parenting from a politician. Shocking.
The PMRC hearings were nothing but political theatre designed to drum up public support for the warning labels. Behind the scenes, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) were lobbying Congress for a tax on blank recording tapes, because recording and tape trading were cutting into their profits. Because politics is "quid pro quo", Congress agreed to create legislation for the tax in exchange for the RIAA to pressure the major record labels to put the warning stickers on albums and tapes containing "offensive" music. Or at least that's how I heard it told from interviews with some of the targeted artists. :)
Def Lepards Pryomania album cover was focused on by that group during a senate meeting. Crazy times.
I'll bet they were messing their pants when John Denver showed up to defend Dee Snider in the SCOTUS hearings.
So funny story about She Bop...I sang along with that song for a long time not paying enough attention to the lyrics to catch on...and also not singing the right lyrics...the funny part is that I finally caught on while singing along one day...but the lyrics that lit the lightbulb over my head weren't even in the song. If you pull up the lyrics there is a line that says 'I hope he will understand'...I thought she said 'I go even under hand'...gasp...you naughty girl! 🤣🤣🤣
Another line is, they say I better stop or I’d go blind
I sang along with that song since I was 8 years old and I didn't pick up on it until someone told me in (I think) college. It might have been late high school, but either way, it certainly wasn't subversive to little kids. And honestly, if you're trying to preach things like "purity" or abstinence, you probably should be telling kids that bopping alone is cool.
I remember watching those 2 Live Crew videos on The Box. Best and worst thing ever for a boy in the throes of puberty. Lol!
Some of the songs actually played and still do play on the radio including She Bop and Sugar Walls. I was 12 when Darling Nikki came out. I had the Purple Rain album and watched the movie. I didn’t really understand the song Darling Nikki until seeing it being explained on the news because of the PRMC. My mom then told me not to listen to it. I still did. Prince changed in his later years and didn’t sing certain songs or changed the lyrics.
A true child of the Eighties here. And we told them to kick rocks. We loved this music.😂😂😂
Darling Nikki is the bomb. I was so amused at the time that 'Darling Nikki' had out-perved Prince.
W.A.S.P. and Twisted Sister were at the top of the list. If the PMRC hated it we as high school kids wanted it more.
I got kicked out of Girl Scouts for listening to Darlin Nikki and I would do it again! 🤷🏽♀️😂😂💜
lol
Great topic today y'all. Mentioning Prince, I'm surprised that Tipper Gore didn't go really deep into his catalog at the time because on the Dirty Mind album, though there are number of songs that is suggestive but there's one called Sister which is...well, TMI. And the next album Controversy you had Do Me, Baby and Jack UO...keeping it clean on the comment but you get the picture...and on 1999, there's the part of Let's Pretend We're Married which he said that "I sincerely want to f' the taste out your mouth". His words not mine LOL!! But yeah Prince knew what he was doing around that period just to shock people.
Tell me about it. Anybody remember “Sister”? 🤯🤯
Steely Dan - "Kid Charlemagne" from the album "The Royal Scam" - and then the rest of the album.
Ok I need to look up that list again because if “last caress” and “so what” aren’t on there, the list is pointless. 😂😂
Ya'll need watch Dee Snider speak at the PMRC hearings and absolutely desecrate the whole thing!!
You're right that Prince didn't give a **** about having the parental warning sticker slapped on his albums. First, he thought letting parents know ahead of time about the content on an album was an understandable stance to take. And second, he never really gave a **** what the masses thought about his musical output...it wasn't gonna effect what he recorded or released, so he didn't care.
The funny thing is the PMRC wanted the warning stickers on albums, but it back fired because it helped album sells for the artists that the pmrc had an issue with.
I'm glad you mentioned Ice-T. The Ice-T Power album came out in 1988. It has a song considered so bad they couldn't print the title on the Album. (G.L.G.B.N.A.F). I can't listen to that anymore though, but I used to back in the BC days.
Megadeth hook in mouth =PMRC
I would absolutely love to see your reaction to Prince's "One Song." It's basically a socio-political monologue, and he talks a lot about desensitization.
This is tame compared to the filth that is out there now a days.
Anthrax did a song specifically for the P.M.R.C., it's called Startin' Up a Posse on their Attack of the Killer B's album 🤘 check it out 🤣 also, all the stickers did was tell kids which albums to buy 👍
All I gotta say is enjoy the music of the past because it ain’t getting better anytime soon…the music industry destroyed popular music.
23:00 - T & T agree to a point, only because when I comes to Prince, I still remember my bestfriend at 13 -14 years old playing Prince for the 1st time (1983-1984). She was a true die hard fan well into her 40's. Me, I like certain songs.
Little red corvette?
@@Just-Incredible420 -But of course! And Purple Rain (movie too). Raspberry Beret, Diamond & Pearls.
@@shantel7107 kiss
She bop not a bad songs and also prince it just amazing
It's funny that this happened after the creation of Mtv considering the majority of the artist listed got the start because of Mtv.
If you want an idea of what MLK would've thought you should check out the Boondocks episode Return of the King ( season 1 episode 9)
Good convo people - I do enjoy yawls channel. :)
LOL. She's So Unusual and Purple Rain were the first two albums (cassettes) that I ever bought. I was 8 and they did me no harm. My parents also did not object. Now, 80s movies were uncomfortable because there were bare boobs everywhere. And those were PG movies, because I wasn't allowed to see R movies.
Frank zappa got an advisory on his next record and it was an instrumental album. Just because he spoke out against censorship.
Warnings just made fans want it more.
The whole music industry wouldn't even b around if it wasn't for frank zappa full stop
If the PMRC had minded their own business and policed their own business it might have taken years to review and uphold the laws that protect free speech in music and entertainment. They only shot themselves in the foot.
Cindy was doing the deed by herself
I do have to wonder how many subpar groups managed to sell a lot more albums because they had the Parental Advisory stickers on them. Not to say it was a bad idea, just that... I don't know.
😂🤣☝️
The PMRC fell apart because censoring art is a direct violation of the first amendment.
Oh someone is a prude...lol
I'm sorry I don't know your names, To the lady: how much Prince have you listened to? His music is suggestive, but that hardly constitutes filth. Maybe his videos are risque,but again far from filthy. Darling Nicki is not among my favourite Prince songs, but I don't consider it filthy. Most of the bands on the list considered "occult" were there for the name of the band and not the music they produced. I am not up on current music so things may have escalated to a far worse situation with lyrics. I can't speak to that.But if parents did their jobs, the rest of us wouldn't have to collaborate in safe-guarding their children.
Yup, it’s all his fault 😳
He was my first sex Ed teacher😂😂😂
Three Prince songs on this list, draw your own conclusion..
And we wouldn’t have it any other way!
