Thanks Joybell and Hildebrand!

I guess I don't need to ask how old {Somebody So & So} became a racially stereotyped baldheaded man.

However, one of my points in my original post was children don't always get the racial {sexual etc.} overtones of these types of songs.

I'm glad that this thread includes memories of parents and teachers forbidding songs for other reasons.

Reading posts like these can help people realize that we actually do have alot in common.
