agree 100% that James Brown, and even FREAKY Rick James don't belong in the same category as the fools mentioned earlier, BUT THIS:

is simply because you don't HAVE a little girl yet...but if I hear my little girl singing "Sex Machine" or "Superfreak" (as tame as these songs are by today's standards), I'm going CRAZY. The biggest argument my wife and I have had this year was a few months ago when that new Mariah Carey came out, and I heard my 2 and a half year-old girl singing the lyrics to that first single...the line that goes something like "you wan't this, and you know it..."

I. WENT. TOTALLY. OFF.
