		<description>Great post, a real eye-opener - I&#039;m listening to &quot;Baby It&#039;s Cold Outside&quot; with a different perception now - damn, it&#039;s so creepy!

Check out &quot;Stranded in your love&quot; by Sharon Jones &amp; the Dap Kings, a duet with Lee Fields. It isn&#039;t too different to &quot;Baby It&#039;s Cold Outside&quot; in theme, but it doesn&#039;t cross the line into creepiness, particularly due to Jones&#039; strong personality. And it&#039;s an utterly brilliant song.</description>

		<description>What about Tequilla Makes Her Clothes Fall Off? That&#039;s got date rape right in the title, and then proceeds to be even more offensive by pretending to be about losing scarves and boots and shit. We all know what you&#039;re alluding to in the chorus, rapey country guy.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think that particular Sublime song is really in the appropriate category. Thinking the song is &quot;meh&quot; musically is obviously objective, but to link it with the other three songs is unfair as it has entirely different lyrics, theme, and meaning.

Also, there aren&#039;t date rape undertones to the Sublime song, it&#039;s clearly about a guy that rapes a girl and when she fights back legally he goes to prison. Other than the song then apologizing for male on male prison rape in the end, it&#039;s a pretty positive song about a woman speaking out and getting her abuser jailed, which I think is awesome. The other three are different in that they are from the singers perspective and insinuate that they will have sex when they want, and in their songs girls are just accessories or trophies, their rights being totally disrespected. 

Sublime has some questionable lines in some other songs, &quot;Wrong Way&quot; and &quot;Caress Me Down&quot; as examples, but &quot;Date Rape&quot; is much more positive than most of the songs on this chart and in my mind lyrically better than a Tribe Called Quest since it manages to not stereotype women in the process. 

Additionally, Sublime was huge while I was in high school, and I remember this song opening up lots of discussions between males and females in a progressive way that many other mainstream artists have yet to accomplish. If you don&#039;t like Sublime, I&#039;d at least argue for  &quot;Meh, Positive Jams,&quot; and &quot;Meh, Negative Jams&quot; categories. This way the song and late frontman of Sublime could at least be given more credit than 50 Cent or Asher Roth.</description>

		<description>Will, I decided to give Roth a 5---neutral---because even though he condemns date rape in his chorus, the warning is pretty much the least you can do when you&#039;re pushing drunk girls off couches and getting girls drunk and naked. (He explicitly says he &quot;had this one girl completely naked,&quot; insinuating that he&#039;s the one who got her that way). I&#039;m not sure he deserves any award for this song. But it&#039;s definitely not pro-date rape. And you&#039;re right about the condoms---dear god, don&#039;t use two. Don&#039;t ever use two.</description>

		<description>I have to defend young Mr. Roth here. The evidence that his song is about date rape--a Village Voice commenter, and a girl on a couch--can&#039;t stand up to the fact that he explicitly condemns having sex with a girl who is too drunk. If anything, it is an anti-date rape, pro-consensual sex anthem.

But his advice on condoms. Terrible, terrible. There will be at least 2 kids this year who owe their existence to Roth, I expect.</description>

		<description>I would love to hold a contest for the best date-rape song chart (mostly because I would like to see mdesus&#039; rankings). Or perhaps an original sweet-and-positive-date-rape-song contest!? And also a contest where somebody shows me how to dramatically rip a blog post off the Internet.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would love to hold a contest for the best date-rape song chart (mostly because I would like to see mdesus' rankings). Or perhaps an original sweet-and-positive-date-rape-song contest!? And also a contest where somebody shows me how to dramatically rip a blog post off the Internet.</p>

		<description>I am reminded of that scene in Dead Poets Society where Robin Williams mockingly lectures from a book and draws a chart - similar to the one pictured above - to map the &quot;greatness&quot; of poems. But then he orders his students to rip out the pages of the poetry anthology&#039;s suffocating introduction and free their minds from the confines of some old dead guy&#039;s aesthetics!!!1!1

You&#039;ve drawn the chart, Amanda, but where is the dramatic gesture of ripping out the page? Are we forever obliged to honor the so-called &quot;classics&quot; of the date rape canon? WHO WILL LEAD US TO THE NEW FRONTIER OF DATE RAPE JAMS?</description>
