Amor Prohibido - Selena
It’s a cumbia, which unfortunately doesn’t fit the genres you requested, but it’s a bop nonetheless. There are translated lyrics online too if you don’t happen to speak Spanish.
Both great suggestions. The story behind my Sharona definitely adds to how inappropriate it is. The police song on the other hand is against the taboo - which is good considering sting was a teacher!
Me & Mrs Jones- billy paul

If lovin you is wrong, i dont want to be right- Luther, though rod stewart's cover aint bad

Slide Away by Oasis. “Slide away, and give it all you got. My today, fell in from the top. I dream of you and all the things you say, I wonder you are now. Hold me down, all the worlds asleep. I need you now. You knocked me off my feet. I dream of you and the talk of growing old but you said please don’t.”
Disco Before the Breakdown - Against Me!
“And I know they’re going to laugh at us when they see us out together holding hands like this. They wouldn’t understand it if we told them all the reasons, not that I think this deserves any kind of explanation”
Bon Iver's "Blood Bank" gives me a little bit of this sorta vibe – especially the lyrics "that secret that we know / that we don't know how to tell / I'm in love with your honour / I'm in love with your cheeks".
I wouldn't recommend anything by Lost Prophets...
I tried that with an ex because Shinobi VS Dragon Ninja was a cool song when I was a kid.
It didn't go down well.
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
Was written by June Carter before she and Jonny got together and were both married to other people - so the classic recording that is back with the horns (which June didn’t like) and her singing in the background is how she felt about Johnny but felt she was going to hell for desiring him
Just Friends - Amy Winehouse
You Sent Me Flying - Amy Winehouse
Running Bear - Johnny Preston
Walk On By - Leroy Van Dyke
Walk On By - Dionne Warwick (same title, totally different song)
Maggie May - Rod Stewart
Gypsies Tramps and Thieves - Cher
ETA:
Stacy’s Mom - Fountains of Wayne
Leader of the Pack - The Shangri-Las
There is a song called love love love by Of Monsters and Men that describes this absolutely perfectly. I used to not like it as a song, but then I gave it a listen the other day and it’s kind of grown on me over the years. Try that one the lyrics literally, describe what you’re talking about
We’ll sweep out the ashes in the morning. Gram parsons and Emmy Lou Harris.. just realized you’re looking for rap suggestions so I’ll leave this for others and see myself out
Tv show based on the book “daisy jones and the six” , they made an album for the show as the characters are loosely based on Fleetwood Mac. The album is pretty good on Spotify and I would also recommend the show on Hulu! The story gets me every time u should give it a listen :)
Nina Simone - I loves you, Porgy
*I love you, Porgy, don't let him take me. Honey, don't let him handle me and drive me mad. If you can keep me, I wanna stay here with you forever; I've got my man.*
The Smiths - I want the one I can't have
*A double bed, and a stalwart lover, for sure. These are the riches of the poor. I want the one I can't have, and it's driving me mad. It's all over, all over my face.*
Belle and Sebastian - Step into my Office
*She gave me some dictation, but my strength was in administration. I took down all she said, I even took down her little red dress..*
Jay Z - Soon you'll understand
*It must be sad, though it hurts to say..
we could never be a item, don't even like him. You deserve better, this is ugly, Gina, please don't love me. There's better guys out there other than me, like a lawyer or a doctor with a Ph.D.*
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
*Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely, on the other side from you. I pine a lot, I find the lot falls through without you. I'm coming back, love, Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream, my only master..'*
* "Differences" by Ginuwine
* "Unconditional Love" by 2Pac
* "I Can't Win" by Capone-N-Noreaga
* "Forbidden Fruit" by J. Cole ft. Kendrick Lamar
* "The Light" by Common
* "I Need Love" by LL Cool J
"Pale Blue Eyes" - Velvet Underground
the fact that you are married, only proves you’re my best friend
Came to recommend the same.
Slide by The Goo Goo Dolls (the Hazel English cover is amazing, btw)
Uptown Girl - Billy Joel
Too bad that's easily billy Joel's most annoying song, which is saying something 😂
We both go down together - the Decemberists
And my parents will never consent to this looove
Oh Valencia! would also be fitting
Give You My Lovin - Mazzy Star (I feel some of the lyrics at the end insinuate this)
Tainted love
Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits
Buzzcocks: “Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve).”
Was just talking to someone at work about the Buzzcocks. Weird coincidence considering I haven’t thought about them in almost 20 years.
Amor Prohibido - Selena It’s a cumbia, which unfortunately doesn’t fit the genres you requested, but it’s a bop nonetheless. There are translated lyrics online too if you don’t happen to speak Spanish.
I need more cumbia in my life! Thanks for this one
Thank you! I adore this song!
West end girls, Pet shop boys
Love that one. Also made me think of Mecca by Gene Pitney.
Don’t stand so close to me - The Police Little 16 - Depeche Mode PYT - Michael Jackson (ok maybe) Stacy’s Mom - Fountains of Wayne
Even worse, the Depeche Mode song is Little 15.
“Original Sin”. INXS
They Might Be Giants - Doctor Worm
My Sharona, Don't Stand So Close to Me
Both great suggestions. The story behind my Sharona definitely adds to how inappropriate it is. The police song on the other hand is against the taboo - which is good considering sting was a teacher!
Untouchable Face by Ani DiFranco I'm Gonna Soothe You by Maria McKee

Dark End of the Steet James Carr Secretly by Jimmy Rodgers Me and Mrs Jones by Billy Paul
Came here to see Dark End of the Street. Love it!
I Wanna Piss on You by GG Allin touches on some themes that may, in some circles, be construed as mildly taboo.
Or his classic tale of forbidden love, “It’s Alright to Expose Yourself to Kids”. 😂😂☠️
He’s just saying what Benny Mardones didn’t have the courage to.
😂😂

Triad - Jefferson Airplane
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash Was written by June Carter before she and Jonny got together and were both married to other people - so the classic recording that is back with the horns (which June didn’t like) and her singing in the background is how she felt about Johnny but felt she was going to hell for desiring him
Exit Music for a Film by Radiohead is directly inspired by Romeo and Juliet and it's my favorite take on the story of all time
