In a world where Beyonce dominates the music scene singing about her sex skills, Lady Gaga singing about riding a disco stick or rapper T-Pain expressing his interest in his girl having a girlfriend, you would think singer Bruno Mars and his love anthems wouldn*t seem so out of place.
For one high school in Lancaster County, Pa., their decision to not have any Top 40 songs performed during a marching band performances made headlines. Penn Live reports Garden Spot High School*s take on the matter as follows:
在这个Beyonce歌唱中展现她sex技巧，Ladygaga ￥#%￥##%（懒得翻译了，类似的）的世界，你不应该觉得Bruno Mars的歌曲太过出位。
（真是说到我心坎里去了，有理解错误的欢迎指正）

A Lancaster County school board this week stood behind an administrative decision to remove two Top 40 hits from its high school marching band*s upcoming repertoire because of suggestive lyrics.
Garden Spot High School*s marching band had been practicing instrumental versions of Bruno Mars* "Locked Out of Heaven" and Fall Out Boy*s "Thnks for the Memories" for some time before administration decided to nix the songs as they contained inappropriate wording, according to school board members.
乐队彩排了一段时间被告知这两首歌不能表演 了！
The Eastern Lancaster County School District School Board voted Monday 6-3 to uphold that administrative decision.
Board Member Heidi L. Zimmerman, who was among the majority vote, said parents in favor of the songs argued that spectators would only hear the music, not the lyrics, during a marching band performance.
But, since the tunes are popular music, people easily know the words.
Those lyrics, Zimmerman said, were "trashy" and "inappropriate" for high school students投票的头头说，喜欢这歌的家长认为人们在看乐队表演的时候主要是侧重听音乐，而不是歌词（心坎啊！）。.但既然这是热门歌曲，人们很容易就知道歌词了。（汗）

Zimmerman said board members felt badly about the timing of the decision as band camp is just around the corner, but she believed the band still had enough time to learn new songs and routines - though she said the latter would be harder.
人乐队都彩排差不多了，你跟人家说暂停，头头表示很抱歉。
Wentzel, who voted in favor of keeping the songs, said the band director could have used more scrutiny regarding the songs, but he didn*t think the school board should be getting itself involved in "every little item that comes up like this."
Wentzel，终于来个支持保留歌曲的好人了。觉得这学校当局略夸张。（这句上下文都是）
Wentzel said students voted in the songs. Irvin agreed that*s what board members were told, but, after hearing comments from a student Monday, he questioned whether one of the songs had been chosen beforehand.
Personally, Wentzel didn*t have much issue with the songs as instrumental music.
"I look back when I was growing up, the songs," Wentzel said, referring to rock bands from the late 1960s and early 1970s. "I think we*re putting too much credence into the words that a song has and what it makes our children do."

Board members who spoke with PennLive on Wednesday evening didn*t report a major backlash to the decision.
Hartz said the reaction has been "mixed." Irvin also said he had heard from people on both sides.
"I*ve had people email me and ask me to go back and reconsider again and change our position," Irvin said. "I*ve had people walk up to me on the street and say thank you for doing what you did and upholding what is right."
前面那个叫Ivrin的人说之后收到了双面的反馈，有些人会发邮件求他重新考虑一下，而另一些则见到他以后感激涕零认为他做的决定是对的。
Wentzel said the decision was emotional for some students - "for them, this was pulling the plug on something they were getting attached to."
A veteran board member of nearly 20 years, Wentzel said the issue wasn*t controversial - especially compared to others in the past. He said he doesn*t expect to hear more on this issue, though it could influence policy in the district.
上面那个支持保留者Wentzel，这是个20年丰富经验的老手了，他觉得这实在是太扫乐队的兴了。这个根本没什么好争议的，尤其是你和以前的那些来比较。
Accroding to TGJ, Mars is being subjected to the same type of controversy that singer Robin Thicke went through after "Blurred Lines" was banned in the UK at Edinburgh University, citing that the lyrics were in complete opposition and violation of their *End Rape Culture and Lad Banter on Campus* program.
Its purpose is to protect the female body from the exposure of sexual violence.
最后对比了一下有着类似经历骚宾的blurred lines。

最后，我想说。虽然家长们保护孩子心切也情有可原，但这些反对的人估计是没怎么听音乐的吧。要是真正听音乐的人怎么会冲着歌词去。有些东西怎么都会接触到吧。
最后的最后，说一句：萝卜青菜各有所爱，每个人都有不同的喜好。懂的人自然懂。

真正听音乐的不就了解的更齐全。一首歌怎么会忽视歌词

刚发完贴，窗外就响起了洪亮的LOOH！（今天我住的片区貌似有户外活动，就是老美做了一堆吃的搬出来，然后住户们去蹭吃这样。不过我看了朋友圈别人发的图才知道。。然后就听到了Yeah you make me feel like~~I*ve been locked out of heaven~~~for too long oooo~~~太high啦！开心

有时候路过耳机店也会听到LOOH，所以其实怎么样都会接触到的吧~
再说了，人家乐队都彩排一段时间了，突然要人家换歌。应该还有更好的解决方法吧，比如改改歌词什么的。

美国家长也太天真了吧 人家美国高中生早就什么都懂了 禁播黄歌也没用

为楼主点个赞
