16
While we will not consider the subject in depth at this time, it
should be noted that occultic themes, primarily Satanism, is prevalent
among such bands as Slayer, Venom, and Merciful Fate, one of
whose albums is shown in this picture.
Let us move on to sexuality, a theme which has been part of rock
music since its beginning. Today's rock artists are describing
sexual activity and practice in terms more graphic than ever
before. Many of you are aware of Purple Rain, the multimillion
seller by Prince. Much has been said about the song "Darling
Nikki" from the album. "I met a girl named Nikki. I guess you
could say she was a sex fiend. I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating
with magazines."
Another album by Prince called "Dirty Mind" presents a positive
attitude toward the subject of incest.
These lyrics are from the song called "Sister." "I was only 16,
but I guess that is no excuse. My sister was 32, and kind of alone.
My sister never made love to anyone but me. Incest is everything
it's said to be."
This is the cover of the album "Stakk Attakk" by the band
Wrath Child. The back cover of this album, which is available to
young children in record stores, included this photo of a nude
woman on the back of the album. Songs include "Sweet Surrender."
"I lick my lips and make advances. You lay on down and let
me in. But you can't fight. You've got no choice. I will take you
down and rub my cream in."
Another song on an earlier album called "Cock Rock Shock" said
the words "We are going to fuck you" and "Oh, you fucking little
bitch."
This is Motley Crue's album, "Shout at the Devil," double platinum.
The song on the album we are concerned with here is "Ten
Seconds to Love." "Touch my gun, but don't pull my trigger. Shine
my pistol some more. Here I come. Reach down real low. Slide it in
real slow. You feel so good. Do you want some more? I have got one
more shot. My gun is still warm."
The band KISS, popular with young people, "At All Times,"
their brandnew [sic] album, was released just yesterday, includes songs
such as "Fits Like a Glove." "Ain't a cardinal sin, baby. Let me in.
Girl, I am going to treat you right. Well, goodness sakes, my
snake's alive, and it is ready to bite. Baby, let me in. It fits like a
glove. I think I am going to burst. When I go through her it is like
a hot knife through butter."
And the song, "Give Me More." "Hot blood, need your love. Hard
as rock, can't get enough. Want to feel you deep inside, pumping
through my veins. Fill you to the core, like a dog to the bone. Make
you sweat, make you moan. Come on, lick my candy cane."
This is Betsy. She is the lead singer of a band called Bitch. The
album is called "Be My Slave." It is available in record stores. One
of the songs is called "Give Me a Kiss." "The way you grab me
makes my knees shake. The way you pull my arms makes my body
quake. The way you yank my hair, it just makes me want to kill
you. I will take off my clothes. Kick me in the shins. Come on and
slap me in the face, and I will get down on my knees and move you
like this."
