I had to wait till they weren't home to play Part II of American Pie, 'cus it had the word "hell" in it! :o ;D ::)

"Heart of Glass" - it contained the word 'arse'  :o

American variant, of course...!

I never dared play Ivor Biggun's 'Winker's Song', or the 'Derek And Clive (Live)' LP in the company of my parents...thank heaven for headphones!

The Walll
"We dont' need no educaiton"....there was talk of not letting kids play that around our school.
They got over it, but we didn't want to play it so it wouldn't get taken away.

One day, my parents saw the cover to my News of the World album by Queen and started in. So, I played it for them so they could hear it for themselves. When the song "All Dead, All Dead" came on, my step-father said, "This isn't bad. 'All Day, All Day'. ;D  I didn't know whether to correct him or not. I think I did.

Nazareth's Greatist Hits, practically the whole album but particularly Hair Of The Dog.

I'm afraid to play most of my '80s music in front of my parents.

why? they've heard it already.

True.  I'm embarrased to admit to liking it.  :-[  ;D

That reminded me - the song "It's All Over Now" by the Stones contained the line: playing her halfassed games, but innocent that I was, I always thought he was singing playing her high fast games...so I played it in front of my mother all the time. She never said anything, so she probably didn't catch the real lyric either... ;D

I also got away with playing my 8 track of Sticky Fingers including the song "B*tch", because my brother told my mother that the song was about a dog! ;D

lol

For me it was "Death on two legs" from Queen's A night at the Opera album, because of the line "And now you can kiss, my good-by."

The album cover that got me into trouble was Golden Earring's album that had Radar Love on it.  The very first cover had a half naked girl lying on the hood of a car.  Mom threw away the entire album.  The record company not to much later changed the cover and now it is worth some money since it is hard to find.  :\'(

I played what ever I wanted and don't remember parents taking any interest in monitoring my music. I think I was left to my own devices from 8years old and on. I had no resistance to anything I did. I think I was more afraid of my mom's music than she was of mine.  ;D

I try not to play anything too vulgar in front of them. Just out of courtesy really. But yeah, I have nothing to hide from them, music wise. Hell, even some of the music I like they like.  ;D

This brings back a funny memory. I'm not sure exectly what year this was, but sometime back in the late '70s my older brothers, who were in their late teens, bought "Double Live Gonzo" by Ted Nugent. When the concert recorded for the album first started, and the 'Nuge is getting the crowd fired up, at one point he yells out, "ANY OF Y'ALL WANT TO GET MELLOW, YOU CAN JUST GET THE F*CK OUT OF HERE!" and the crowd roars. I remember one time my brothers had this album cranked up with our parents in the next room, and when the record got to that part they quickly turned the volume down.  ;D
