Thread Name: Song on a taboo subject?
Subject: RE: Song on a taboo subject?
At least make an effort to dig up some traditional songs close to the topic, maybe songs that are older than 1900. Really good candidates are probably pretty rare, given the tendency not to write such songs down. PILLS TO PURGE MELACHOLY is a rare anthology which does provide an example or two but mainly provides conventional bawdy songs collected in the 17th century.
