John Lennon, Kiddie Fiddler?

[absolutedestiny]

It's rare that I listen to early Beatles albums (it may have been revolutionary pop but it hasn't aged well). Today, however, I listened to Meet the Beatles and actually paid attention, for the first time, to the song Little Child.

Have a listen for yourself.

Read the lyrics.

I am suddenly reminded of the Brasseye Pedophile Special sketch and the brit glam rock parody song "Playground Bangaround". Did nobody think this song was in the least bit dubious? ;)
