sorry lex yr letting yr (somewhat justified) bigotry abt oasis get in the way of yr brains here: "just a bit of fun" is exactly what slade WEREN'T saying* -- they were saying** "there's no such thing as just a bit of fun"
*even in the xmas song, tho its context has shifted towards the "lovable" ever since "politics in pop" shifted into something you had to declare you were doing, rather than something unfolded in the sound or the act*** **"saying" as a mode of performance (see above); acting out the threat behind the smile -- making it visible as something you could discuss and critique and refuse (or play with, as something you were complicit in)**** ***you know this perfectly well when yr discussin eg R&B so it's not like this is a stretch for you! ****complicity that also applies to "just a bit of sexy" or "just a bit of thrilling" or whatever you want to use as the five-word redux for what it is you like in what YOU like!
