When I saw Winger some years back, they changed the lyrics to "she's only 43"... The soccer mom's, loved it.

[Tkivo]

I recently just watched korn's live with fred durst. all in the family was so edgy and cool when I was a kid. it just shows that everyone's childhood is just a series of cringe events and behaviour no matter what generation you belong.

[proevofan]

Obviously not a rock song but I've never seen a song age so quickly in real time as Blurred Lines. Went from number 1 to problematic to destroying Robin Thicke's career in like a week.

[beezysbeatz]

Hearing this dude describe rock band behavior as "problematic" is enough for me. There is NOTHING wrong with the lyrics to "Dude Looks Like a Lady"! Lighten up snowflakes, nobody cares how you live which means there's room for jokes at your expense without condemnation.

[CableB_]

Winger: she’s only seventeen
Chris Hanson: Take a seat

[someguy]

I don’t think of “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)” as offensive so much as extremely cheesy.

[SavoxYT]

I suppose "Rock 'n Roll N***er" by Patti Smith would count were it not for the fact that with the exception of Jimi Hendrix, everyone she name drops in that song was either white or whatever the hell Jesus was. As far as I know, she still performs the song today.

[Axetwin]

I can respect Jon's take on All in the family.

So, it's been a super long time since I last heard One in a Million, and decided to look up the lyrics. Holy hell, I guess that's the big difference between knowing a song when you're 16 and knowing it again when you're 42.

I knew Winger would be on here, I'm surprised Warrent isn't on this list. I guess that's for a second video on the topic? You could fill up a playlist of songs that haven't aged well by popular bands.

[wesleybush]

Fun fact: Aerosmith and Motorhead also had songs named "Jailbait." Very common theme going back many decades. Not defending, just saying.

[GoldenGateNum]

*"Just because I don't say it, doesn't mean I ain't
Thinkin' it." - Dave Mustaine - Megadeth*

[jedite]

Beavis and Butthead buried the band Winger in the 1990s. After B&B, Winger become the butt of the jokes. Due to the character Stuart, the nerdy kid.

[jenjenlouise]

Poison’s “I Want Action.” He literally says “If I can’t have her, I’ll take her and make her.”

[Metal-Theory-Reacts]

My Mom once told me " Songs from the 80s were all about stalking people and j#cking off"...

[fortisch]

8:50 Mark Knopfler wrote what the dude said, to tell in the song about this point of view. That is just how reality was and you cannot censor art that tries to show a real happening or story.

[wstine]

Every song Fred Durst makes ages faster than a bad guy drinking from the Holy Grail.

[Jesse_Sutton]

I disagree that Dude Looks Like a Lady has aged badly. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, HE STILL GOES HOME WITH THE DUDE. Dude Looks Like a Lady, like Lola (the Kinks), appears to be about a fella that hooks up with a drag queen, and FOLLOWS THROUGH. What's more progressive than that?

[cessxiii]

For "Dude Looks Like a Lady", Desmond Child, who co-wrote it, said that this wasn't REALLY the full or accurate story about the song. The truth, according to him, is that Steven's initial chorus for the instrumental demo, was "Cruisin' For The Ladies", but Desmond thought it was too basic, so it got reworked to "Dude Looks Like a Lady". The Vince Neil situation happened after the record was already written etc., but had yet to be released. \m/

[JCaylor]

That Ted Nugent song didn't age poorly because that implies that it was ok when it was released

[ImYourOverlord]

The Dire Straits song doesn't deserve as much bashing as it gets
