RE: Another walk through musical history: Waltzing Matilda

If we really look into it, there’s so much material people unknowingly follow. It’s just like today’s hits that are packed with sexual innuendos; it’s ironic to see the elders acting proud or thinking it’s cute to see their grandkids dancing to them.

I probably sound like a grumpy old man, but to me, music composition mostly ended after the 1990s (with some exceptions, of course). Instead, as I get older, I have started listening more and more to music from earlier decades, and even earlier centuries.

Yeah, when @cmp2020 was in highschool, I was stunned that his classmates' parents would let their daughters participate on the school's 'dance' team.

If that's the case, I’ve been a grumpy old soul since I was a kid. While other children were buying toys, I was spending my pocket money on oldies tapes.

It seems like there's no filter on what people or their children consume these days. Some genres have become experts at using innocent-looking themes to hide suggestive dances, bypassing most parents' radars.

It’s so different from when I was babysitting in the 90s; back then, one little girl sang a song about kissing, I’d have another mother at my door the next day complaining that her child was repeating those inappropriate lyrics at home.
