Bop or flop - does Your Mutha No

[Suedehead]

Problematic I know

 

[Suedehead]

Personally I fink it’s awful

 

[Joseph]

problematic bop

 

[Suedehead]

To be honest I’ve always hated it

 

[lolly]

Releasing it as a single when you've got the rest of Voulez-Vous sitting right there. And then sticking Kisses Of Fire on the b-side...

For some reason I thought the lyric was "dirty little lady" so it's actually less problematic than I first thought. Therefore, bop till I drop I guess.

 

[Eddie]

Why is this considered problematic again please?

 

[Devil]

Well he’s singing about a child throwing themselves at him aren’t they? I don’t think it’s quite meant in that way though.

Meh, it’s not awful as it’s Abba, but it’s one of the least tracks I go back to.

 

[VoR]

Avoid icky feelings on the lyrics by exclusively listening to the Christine Baranski version.

I mean yes, if you take the lyrics that literally. I've always considered it just about an age gap that he's uncomfortable with - possibly someone in their late teens.

 

[Agneeta]

It's problematic adjacent.

 

[straightorbroken]

If only she'd worn something frumpy.

Which is still problematic

Take it easy.

It was the 70s. Of COURSE it was about a 15 year old!

Anyway it's a bop.

Lest we forget the dancing queen was clearly fair game and ONLY SEVENTEEN!
