When I was a kid and the song "Date Rape" by Sublime came on the radio my dad would turn it off immediately. I didn't get why, so I asked my dad what it was about, and he just vaguely said "Someone doing inappropriate things on dates" (I guess he didn't want me to know what rape was since I was only like 8 at the time.) Anyway, because his description was so vague, I just thought it was about a guy with bad manners, and didn't get why he was so worried about me hearing it.
