When things are blatantly blatant and Society just can't deal with them, they cover their eyes and claim that they can't see them.

The lyrics to "I'm On Fire" by Springsteen are blatantly blatant:

Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone? Mhmm
I got a bad desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things I don't do? Oh no
I can take you higher
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire

"little girl"
"daddy"
"all alone"
"bad desire"
"can he do...things... I don't do"

Of course, you can read anything into it that you want. Sure. Just cover your eyes and claim you can't see it.

But that, my dear friends, is a blatant (bad???) desire for a little girl.

Little girl: quote, unquote.

The original video shows a rich woman bringing in a car for Springsteen to fix. This pushes the impression of a social acceptable meaning. "I'm on Fire" was first recorded in January 1982 during the first wave of Born in the U.S.A. sessions, but the album version and the single was cut on May 11, 1982 at The Power Station.

The music video for the song, on the other hand, was shot in March 1985 in Los Angeles three years later. Unlike the previous videos from the album, the video was NOT a performance clip, but rather a dramatic interpretation of the song's themes.

It had been very famous and, at the time, quietly debated. The video was created to... push the impression of a social acceptable meaning.

You do the math.
