Songs That Might Not Pass The Woke Test

[naomi24]

I was just listening to the inimitable Roy Orison's 'Crying' - and singing along of course - but then a thought occurred to me. One of the funniest episodes Del Boy, Rodney & co ever filmed but one that might today be frowned upon for mocking the afflicted - Raquel and Tony's version of the song. Just for a bit of fun, what songs from the past do you think might have problems passing the 'Woke' test today?

Enjoy!

Young Girl by the Union Gap was a bit risqué for its time

Nothing wrong with Young Girl. He was telling an underage girl that was flirting with him to sling her hook, not seducing a child
