It’s only a song for fuck’s sake!
Jesus. There is a sizeable segment of this place that comes across as little more than an angry mob of yokels when their world view is queried. It’s just a discussion about song lyrics!
Chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them
Donald Trump needs kicking out of a helicopter
I'm personally responsible for all global warming
And in this case is very typical of the sort of ill-informed knee-jerk desperation to take offence that you so often - usually rightly - criticise others for...

No offence intended .

I think its fine you express yourself here but when a whole load of others cry what a load of crap they are not an angry mob they are just a consensus, who find it hard to believe a song from 1940's that is as much playing with cultural themes of good girl slightly naughty girl who has the 2nd martini when a good girl would of gone home. Has nothing to do with #MeToo movement.
The fact that you find it rapey means you have stopped thinking for yourself about what is right or wrong and gone for the sort of media-driven feminist emasculation brainwashing.
You could certainly make a very rapey version. Or you could make a very knowing, coquettish, flirty version (e.g. Tom and Cerys). Funnily all the ones I've heard fall into the latter category. In order to make it rapey you have to remove the recording context and just read it "cold", and also already have a certain set of presuppositions.
However, if it has you bothered, don't ever listen to "Little Red Riding Hood" (Sam Sham and the Pharohs/999) because that's just out and out predatory masculinity. As for "Pretty Tied Up" by GnR ...

Don't play the victim just because you've discovered your opinion to be unpopular, dude
POS
B-b-but 'banning' is such a harsh word that people might judge me on so lets just say I am not banning it outright, just on every platform I have control over which is deffo not the same thing - deffo.
This is because I believe that all relations between the sexes are intrinsically misoginist because of exhibit A: the patriarchy and because ALL men are potential rapists. Also people work on a level of monkey-see-monkey-do so we should only see what we want monkey to do. And when I say we I mean I should decide what is acceptable after I have ...er....seen it.
Alternatively, having to see people spout this kind of bollocks is a small price to pay for living in an open society and we should be free to say in reply, come back when you have a coherent argument because at the moment all you have is an opinion.
P.S. The real problem with the song is that it fails to stand up to slut-shaming
Good King Wenceslas - why is it that only male saints should be viewed as capable of providing a feast?
O Tannenbaum - encourages the genocide of conifer trees all over the world
Rockin Around The Christmas Tree - As above, plus people rocking around anything can cause slips, trips and falls
Driving Home For Christmas - encourages day-dreaming when there's a need to control what is basically a bomb on wheels
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day - puts huge financial pressure on struggling parents all over the world
Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer - encourages travelling in severe weather conditions with inadequate illumination
Away In A Manger - encourages child neglect. It is not acceptable to lay a baby's head on straw containing allergens and potential parasites that could cause conjunctivitis
The other reindeer laugh at Rudolph, call him names and won’t let him play with them - typical nasty child behaviour towards someone a bit different. It’s only because his differentness then makes him Santa’s favourite that they accept him - they’re never taught that their bullying was wrong.
