Alfonso Ribeiro: "Not Too Young (To Fall In Love)"
This week's TMNS have been brought to you by singles by '80s pin-up boys.
As you might have noticed, there was QUITE THE TREND of '80s pin-up boys who released singles that were NiceGuyTM anthems at best, and, at worst, straight-up rape culture tropes set to music.
It always disturbs the hell out of me when I listen to the music of my youth and think about how these gross lyrics were put into/coming out of the mouths of the boys over whom (lots of) girls were swooning. And, of course, nothing has changed.
