elton john, island girl, prostitution, racism, sexism, youch
Seth and Marc look at a song that was described as "racist, sexist and fetishistic" all in one fell swoop; Island Girl by Elton John (and Bernie Taupin.) A song that is swinging for a Caribbean feel and ends up being tone deaf in more than one way.

anti-prostitution, catching feelings, police, prostitution, roxanne, the police, yikes
Seth and Marc round out Policepril with one of the band's most well known songs.... Roxanne; a song about a man's growing intensity to take a woman from being a prostitute whether she likes it or not and makes her aware that they are now together. Anti-sex worker AND scary. Quite a combo!
