OK; I'll bite. Those are creepy lyrics. They were creepy then and they are creepy now. Beasties probably meant it as a joke as they, to my knowledge, don't have a rep as being otherwise creepy but I'm going to go out on a wild limb and say that if you don't think people talking about drugging people so they have sex with you isn't creepy you're not a woman and/or you don't really have much empathy with them either.
This doesn't mean there isn't potentially funny jokes to be made here, as comedy can go everywhere. Some of Sarah Silverman's stuff is super-dark and still funny. But this idea that people invented the notion of "getting all upset over rapey stuff circa 2017" is ridiculous - it's just more that recently people started listening occasionally to victims.
- malvosenior 8y agoI agree they're creepy. I disagree that not finding it creepy means you're not a woman or have no empathy for women. I know tons of women who love the Beastie Boys and I've never heard a single person complain about or even comment on Brass Monkey lyrics.
