Always loved this ... ( 1 month ago by jsbach15)

Always loved this beautiful song by Gilbert. He's more of an accomplished musician than people realize; check out his more serious works! Thanks for this posting. 10 stars!

This guy is ... ( 4 weeks ago by drmathewda)

This guy is seriously in need of psychotherapy. Innocent my ass. Pedophile. Seriously, this is about loving children a little too much...read the lyrics, listen to the song he's a babysitter Pedo. Period.

You complete ... ( 3 weeks ago by freefrench)

You complete fucking cretin.

very intelligent...you must 'love' children too...ohh wait, you're right - I'm way off base here. Thanks for your input...or not.

I've got a PhD in ... ( 3 weeks ago by freefrench)

I've got a PhD in psychotherapy, and I'm telling you that you're a cretin, and swearing is big and clever.
If you did happen to be a paedophile, one thing you probably WOULDN'T do is write a song about it, record it, send it to your record company, have it released, get it played on the fucking radio, watch it go to number 1 in the fucking charts and perform it on national TV.
I imagine that you think the thousands of people who bought the record are paedophiles, too, right? Jesus.

Your argument is ... ( 3 weeks ago by drmathewda)

Your argument is flawed. If I were a killer, the LAST thing I would do is kill and call the police to tell them; yup that's never happened; that'psychology' is taught in the core classes(no doctorate needed). Based on your extremely well backed hypothoses, I hope your patients seek second opinions; you 'big and clever' shrink.
Oh, and based on the law of averages, thousands of people who bought this 'record' are, or have, pedophile tendancies.
Did you pay att'n in your other classes?

OK, you win, ... ( 3 weeks ago by freefrench)

OK, you win, Columbo. Let's hunt the bastard down and string him up from a tree.

That wasn't the ... ( 3 weeks ago by drmathewda)

That wasn't the point of my original post...but ok...Seriously - you find nothing wrong at any level with this song? Perhaps I am overanalysing and over stating - but jeez.

If you really want ... ( 3 weeks ago by freefrench)

If you really want to be offended, check out the lyrics for "A Woman's Place Is In the Home" by the same guy :)
What can I say. It was 1972. People were allowed to expression affection for kids without having 2,000 people marching down their street with banners and knives. See also "Save All Your Kisses For Me" by Brotherhood of Man, "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder, etc etc. You've gotta see it in context, eh. It wasn't weird at the time, so look at it with nostalgia rather than hatred, eh.

Deal. ( 3 weeks ago by drmathewda)

Deal.

For what? The only ... ( 3 weeks ago by sgdp)

For what? The only thing remotely close is the marriage line. That is just something little girls do, by the way. Little girls want to marry EVERYONE. Lol! I think this song is adorable!

WOW... drmathewda ... ( 2 weeks ago by furpurr)

WOW... drmathewda has ISSUES... freefrench is right, this song is INNOCENT... She is a REALLY LITTLE GIRL for whom he is babysitting, such as maybe his neice?!? {& I dispute the line that most say is "...oh hurray"; I maintain that she says "...Uncle Ray".} WHY must people tend to look for the disgusting, the perverted, the just plain SICK... rather than seeing the sweet, the good, the innocent?!?

btw, DrMathewDA? ... ( 2 weeks ago by furpurr)

btw, DrMathewDA? The word is spelled "overanalyzing", & "overstating" is a compound word, not 2 words, & the other word is "hypothesis"; it is "hypotheses" in plural, but never is it "hypothoses"... since you wanted to mock FreeFrench's apparent & actual intellect. & I bet "shrink" just really hurt her feelings. *eye roll*

I can't believe the ... ( 2 weeks ago by arriesone)

I can't believe the hate in all these msgs. I was around when the song came out and freefrench of course yr right, times were very different then, we all loved the song about HIS NIECE, that's what she was, the word paedophile wasn't even invented, yes she does say uncle ray (it rhymes, uncle gilbert wouldn't)we all found it charming, just an uncle's besottedness for his niece...(ask her, she'll tell you)

He's babbysitting ... ( 1 week ago by evilwit)

He's babbysitting his managers Daughter, she called him uncle ray , jesus why does everybody have to read sick things into stuff, do you know how many kids call me uncle Andy loads, you a bunch of sicko's

Come on, it's creepy.

I'm sorry to all ... ( 3 days ago by Cooman456)

I'm sorry to all the naysayers out there, but this is one creepy song. To express affection for your niece is one thing, but to say how much it means to him when she says she wants to marry Uncle Ray? Could O'Sullivan just say he thought she was adorable. And instead of saying "more than a child" say "adorable child" it rhymes and works with the song, but it's A LOT less creepy. And couldn't he leave out the lyrics about giving her a drink? This song is catchy, but creepy.

Leave his haircut ... ( 1 day ago by viclagoon)

Leave his haircut alone and his alto high voice cause we men have them and when we get hits like him all of sudden we get hammered man ,common, he sings beautifully this song and brings memories for everyone and i dont think when one has a catchy melodic tune like this people are listening to the lyrics similar to Have You Never Been Mellow.,who cares the melodic tune was very catchy and did go to number one didnt it?

this was a more ... ( 1 day ago by soupniga)

this was a more innocent time in music , nothing more then that .

soupniga either ... ( 1 day ago by arriesone)

soupniga either you're having a laugh or you need to see a shrink. You're applying the suspicion of today to the innocence of yesterday. Different world mate.
