I'll see your date-rapey, and raise you statutory-rapey

Back at Christmastime, we had a nice discourse on Baby it's Cold Outside.  Is it a relic of a simpler/ more terrifying time?  A playful date that just sounds weird when Zooey Deschanel sings about it?

The video cleared it up for me

"Oh", you think upon seeing the video, "this isn't date rapey, this is just a sweet saucy little couple!"  Or maybe you think, "Lindsey, we know you <3 equality, stop pushing your gay agenda on us!"  Either way, I think we can all agree it seems consensual at the very least :-)

After a thorough (disturbing) listening to Young Girl, I was hoping for a similar video revelation.  Maybe it's not so bad, I told myself.  Maybe he means she's young at heart...or maybe immature... or maybe some other thing so I won't feel guilty listening to this song that I totally love?

 (tip: don't type 'young girl video' into your search engine)  

No real answers, just ever so many more questions. Such as:

• What facial expression is he going for?  Seductive?  Remorseful?  
• Does he realize it's neither of those things?
• WHY IS THAT BABY DOLL COMING AT ME?!?
• Where did the band find a barber who specialized in sexual predator facial hair?
• NOW THERE ARE BEARS, TOO?!?  
• Why have I not turned this video off yet?
• Am I going to continue loving this song despite all evidence?
• Almost certainly (sigh)

And now, lastly but certainly not least-ly, a mash-up!  A mash up of songs... of themes from this post... of Mr. Shuester's amazing talent/ abysmal judgement.

I know, I'll compose a number/ do a private performance for a dramatic, underage student!  This definitely won't go horribly wrong.
