Yuh have artists and yuh have artists...

[Assasin]

My point is artists from time to time very controversial songs in some quarters but they are able to rise above it. Boom Bye Bye is only one such song.

[Assasin]

Again it is not about Me. I have no problem with the songs. People from different culture and with their own agenda however do and it create a controversy.

What does that have to do with me and my brain?

[Muadib]

LOL @ first line..

[Muadib]

It is a rhetorical question..

Meant to stimulate thought process in a clearly fixated and blinkered state of mind.

Methinks I might be too optimistic.

[Mosiah]

I'm sorry I asked!

In any case, how does this song compare with a Boom Bye Bye? And did you miss the part in the the Sherriff song where Bob claims it was self-defence?

[Muadib]

(5)Big Dipper is a song by Elton John with lyrics by Gary Osborne. It is the fourth track off his 1978 album, "A Single Man". It gained notice for not being included on the Russian release of the album due to the meaning of the song.
[edit] Musical structure

The music is not reminiscent of anything else that John has ever done. The main part of the song is a jaunting piano joined by a New Orleans-inspired jazz horn section. The drum and pass pattern also follows this, making it sound like something that could easily be ragtime. The backing vocals on this song is John's then-owned football team, Watford F.C.. This is one out of their two appearances on this album.
The last verse is adapted from an old classic, "Makin' Whoopee".
[edit] Lyrical meaning

It was banned when released in the Soviet Union along with another song, Part-Time Love. The song could tell about a man looking for love with a sailor, using "Big Dipper" (Which in the British slang is a rollercoaster, and an asterism in the American language) as a substitute for a penis. The sailor says he can't handle anymore, so the man "filled him up with all kinds of stuff to relax him". This could symbolize that a drug rape was taking action. The third verse opens with "He hadn't been to keen at the start - now he seems to have a change of heart", indicating that the sailor finds out about his homosexuality, and therefore continues his relationship. The song ends fading out with the line: "Another ride, another tune, another crazy afternoon, another reason for squeezin' your big dipper".
It is highly a controversial issue to put in a song at that time, but since the album nor the song gained any notice, it didn't gain controversy.

"In studying the virulence and tenacity of anti-gay feelings, psychologists are finding clues to the deeper sources of homophobia. The new findings confirm the theory that some men use hostility and violence to homosexuals to reassure themselves about their own sexuality. But the greatest portion of anti-homosexual bias, psychologists now say, arises from a combination of fear and self-righteousness in which homosexuals are perceived as contemptible threats to the moral universe."
