From "Come On Eileen" to "Baby, It's Cold Outside," the world is full of problematic songs.

Hello, there! My name is Kayla Yandoli and I'm a huge fan of a lot of things, one of them being music.

I absolutely love listening to albums, curating playlists, playing piano and guitar, and having deep conversations with folks about songs!

But while on these fun music adventures, sometimes I listen to a song and discover that it's unfortunately...pretty problematic.

For example, I used to dance along to "Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners a whole lot because it's such a fun and upbeat song, until I looked up the lyrics and realized it's actually about a man convincing a young woman to have sex with him.

Community user hallamichellem even agreed and said: "It's basically about a guy trying to talk a woman into sleeping with him by saying creepy things thinly veiled by nice words. Maybe even an older dude trying to trick a newly legal woman."

And have you ever listened to "Ur So Gay" by Katy Perry? It was released as one of her first singles when she was breaking out into the music business in the late 2000s. If you listen closely, the song is pretty anti-gay and full of problematic lyrics.

And "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell is just an ultimate example of problematic music, with its very intense lyrics about nonconsensual sex and the disregard for women's boundaries.

I don't know why they still play this song at weddings... I just don't!

Whatever it is, we want to know. Tell us the most problematic song you've ever heard of (and why it's so bad) in the comments below.
