For Adults Only (Compilation, Fireball Records)

Rating: 4/5

Review:
Very amusing and some good music, too

This is very funny, and in places rather good musically.  It's what it says it is: a load of filth in various styles from Doo-Wop to Soul to Surf… you name it, really.  Much of the humour comes from the contrast between the apparent innocence of the style and the frankly outrageous language and subject matter of the lyrics.  I'm afraid it just makes me smile to hear explicit sexual acts described in a song which sounds like one of those completely innocent Inkspots numbers, for example.  And Think Twice by Jackie Wilson is a first-rate soul record, to – albeit with language which is not for the faint hearted.

Not all of this is all that good and it's not something I listen too regularly, but just a few favourites now and again always lift my mood.  Pretty obviously, if you're offended by explicit sexual references and bad (well, appalling, really) language, then this isn't for you, but personally I think it's an enjoyable hoot.
