The Crystals - He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss) mp3 download

This song is so haunting and twisted yet so god damn catchy

This song is unbelievably creepy. No wonder domestic violence victims kept going back to their abusers. "He hit me and i knew he loved me." What was Carole King thinking when she wrote this? Today they would be calling out the censor squad and convening Congress to outlaw it.

Hole brought me here and it didn’t sound so messed up when Courtney Love sang it. Now I’m like WTF ...

What in the Universe

Weird song about people who still stay with their partners after being beaten. How some of them believe the abuse means their spouses love them.

Black dudes have been knocking around their broads since time immemorial.. this is tradition, except it. lol

the sad thing is this song was supposed to be ironic but the record company made them sing it so cheerfully

you know, some songs leave a little to the imagination but not this one. a 7 year old can understand what this song is about. hopefully the Crystals were only trying to bring attention to domestic violence. i HOPE they arent allowing their boyfriends and husbands to beat them because its the only way they can feel love. that would be sad. i dont know how things were back in the 60s for young girls but i hope they didnt take this song seriously. if a man hits you, its not because he loves you. its because he is a psychopath. a narcissist. and he needs help. women who stay with men who hit them also need help....they dont need to be writing influential songs about it where little girls might think its ok and maybe even start wanting their boyfriends to hit them because of a song they heard on the radio

What year was this recorded?

the way this song intensifies honestly sends shivers down my spine

Courtney Loves version is amazing.

this creeps me out ok?
