...I admit to being uncomfortable about 12 year old boys rapping a reference to a pimp.

... where they canceled a band just as they were going to the stage because they were going to do "Sunshine of Your life" because "Happy" Jack our bonehead Principal thought it referred to Sunshine Acid.

In Jr High, I saw something that made an amazing impression (kids can make music!) on me at the talent show: a band of 14 year olds (the Lime) played "Eight Days a Week". You know the song, with the refrain :

Hold me, love me
Hold me, love me
I ain't got nothin' but love babe
Eight days a week

I wonder if it caused me to lose my virginity a year or so later when the hold me/love went over the top with my first girlfriend?

Ever read the lyrics to "Please Please Me"?

Van Halen - Hot for Teacher

Or "Grave Digger" by NY Rock Ensemble?

Timothy - The Bouys

All the folk songs that have to do with a murder?

...but there is ambiguity in the examples you gave.
There is nothing ambiguous about Mac Daddy & they are, in fact, 12 year old boys.

... my brother sister and I were always the Germans, and we've never sieg heiled in our entire lives. Nothing too ambiguous about necrephilia or canabalism. Kris Kross never amplifies on what a pimp is or does.

Sooooooo .... how about them Cubbies?
