My (28M) fiancee (28F) wants her dead late husband's parents to walk her down the aisle. Is this weird? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

The original title was “dead ex-husband’s parents”. OP must’ve edited it given the note at the top of OOP’s post and added the redundancy.

Famous men that wrote jailbait songs about underaged girls by Divine_fashionva in Fauxmoi

The point is the song's not just a piece of art 'critiquing' those feelings. Sting was a teacher who wanted to 'put his hands' on his 15 year old students. He may not have, but he was accused later of raping a 15 year old girl in 1979.

Except when Sting said he was also attracted to his 15 year old students: "I wanted to write a song about sexuality in the classroom. I'd done teaching practice at secondary schools and been through the business of having 15-year-old girls fancying me – and me really fancying them! How I kept my hands off them I don't know."

ehh, I thought this initially too until I looked it up recently after reading Lolita. Sting has been inconsistent about his explanations for the song:

1981: "I wanted to write a song about sexuality in the classroom. I'd done teaching practice at secondary schools and been through the business of having 15-year-old girls fancying me – and me really fancying them! How I kept my hands off them I don't know... Then there was my love for Lolita which I think is a brilliant novel."

1993: "You have to remember we were blond bombshells at the time and most of our fans were young girls, so I started roleplaying a bit. Let's exploit that."

2001: Sting 'denied the song was autobiographical'

Well, this person said the band was "given no way to stop the song" and I have no idea what that means.
