The Pill – Loretta Lynn
The iconic Loretta Lynn hit song “The Pill” was quite scandalous when it was first released, as its lyrics described the idea that women were now liberated by the contraceptive pill. Lyrics that were especially troubling to some at the time were: “the feelin’ good comes easy now / Since I got the pill.”
Relax – Frankie Goes To Hollywood
In 1984, when Frankie Goes To Hollywood released “Relax,” most people did not realize what the lyrics were about. Some lines were left off in ads, but the song will still taken off England’s Radio 1 before it even ended. It later went on to be a giant hit and was in the Top 75 list for 52 weeks!
