The "cool jerk" is a dance. In particular, it's a "cool" variation of the dance called "the jerk."

Probably the first song that illustrated to me at a young age the downsides of 'selling out.' I love Bob Seger, but I'll never be able to hear this song or appreciate its artistry without thinking of Chevy truck commercials.

Out of all the 'you've never actually listened to the lyrics have you' songs in the Rock pantheon, this is the one that still brings me the most (admittedly perverse) joy to spring on people.

Most songs from the 1960s. Youd be surprised how many of them are either about fucking underaged girls or really, really wanting to.

Just made me think elvis' song jail house rock he mentions a jailhouse cutie and how he wants to spend time with them. He doesn't mention man or woman and back in his day the likelihood of meeting a woman in jail was very slim.

Probably the opposite of not aging well since gay stuff is more acceptable now.

A lot of old gangsta rap classics have not aged well

even the super mainstream stuff like Doggystyle and The Chronic have some truly vile tracks

Jimmy Soul's "If You Wanna Be Happy."

The message is to marry an ugly woman instead of a pretty one because the ugly woman will be more servile and cook you meals "on time" without complaining.

When this was new, the vast majority of people listening to it would think it was about a cat. A handful would've gotten the joke.

Now? No. Not really. We all know what it's about. Almost nobody will think "cat".

I think their goal was to get the most offensive shit on the radio just to see if they could get away with it

I think because radio was so conservative back then, but yet they also were clueless to lyrical content if obvious swear words weren't used

You know it was a huge hit and played on classic rock radio for decades, right? Seems to have tapered off now, but only recently.

Oh yeah, the Stones were the original trolls of rock 'n roll. 'Under My Thumb' is another gem in this regard. And that's not even counting the songs that don't get radio play for obvious reasons, like 'Some Girls' and 'C*******er Blues.'

Lol, yeah, I kinda love Some Girls, both the song and the whole album

To me Id say pretty much none. I know there was 1 or 2 metal singers or members that did some pretty horrific stuff, if they mentioned that in a song Id say that wouldnt age well. But other than examples like that Id say none.

Under My Thumb is such a banger though. Brown Sugar always kinda sucked even if you didnt pay attention to the lyrics.

Yes and no, IMO. I know that word is a no no, but it was also clearly meant in a facetious way.

Great song, and I like the full 8 minute version that is longer than the radio/video version.

Hey now, they specifically said they 'used to.' give 'em a chance to redeem themselves! /s

Also, obligatory mention of 'Run For Your Life.' But then again it doesn't really qualify as 'aging poorly' because that one's always been creepy.

I mean, media in general where they use specific racist/homophobic language even in a satirical way hasnt aged well

like the message is good, but the message often goes over peoples heads or is hard to parse in a song, so all you hear is the hate speech
