Yes, he hit me / And it felt like a kiss / He hit me / And I knew I loved him. He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss) (1962) They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! (1966)Īnd they're coming to take me away ha-haaa / They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa / To the funny farm / Where life is beautiful all the time. The first time that I got it / I was just 10 years old / I got it from some kitty next door / I went and see the doctor and he gave me the cure / I think I got it some more.ģ7. Why are you so weird, boy? / Johnny are you queer, boy? / When I make a play / You're pushing me away / Johnny are you queer? Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind / I always get it up, for the touch of the younger kind, Young girl, get out of my mind / My love for you is way out of line / Better run, girl / You're much too young, girl / With all the charms of a woman / You've kept the secret of your youth / You led me to believe you're old enough / To give me love / And now it hurts to know the truth. That's all I wanted / But sometimes love can be mistaken / For a crime. You're pullin' me close I just say 'no' / I say I don't like it / But you know I'm a liar / 'Cause when we kiss/ Ooooh, fire.
It burned like a ball of fire / When the rebel took a little child bride / To tease yeah, so go easy yeah. Smokin' in the boys room / Teacher don't you fill me up with your rules / Everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school. Well I left home just a week before / And I'd never ever kissed a woman before / But Lola smiled and took me by the hand / And said, 'Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man.' I belong to somebody else and I must be true. Rather than taking personal responsibility-because he is the freaking adult in the situation-he tells her to leave because she's too hard to resist: It's about a man who is in a committed relationship, but he is very attracted to a younger (we'll say) woman. Unique for making the Billboard Top 20 three times by different artists, this 1971 pop tune no doubt creates different reactions in a modern world. Behavior like this now would land him on the 6 o'clock news in handcuffs. He tells his student not to stand so close to him so as not to arouse further suspicion and his desires. There is longing, frustration, temptation, and confrontation by superiors. A schoolgirl and teacher twice her age cross a dangerous line by having an illegal and inappropriate affair.
It's songs like this 1980 pop hit that Gen X parents have playing in the back of their minds when they send their kids off to high school. "Don't Stand So Close to Me" by The Police
