Yes, spanking is supposed to feel good, and the pain it leaves is called “tickle all day”… We are not in the Countess of Ségur and her descriptions of rather spectacular corporal punishments. We are in what we call children’s songs, and this record by Pierre Chêne dates from 2017. It shows us in particular how we can catch one of these very friendly spankings.
In the second episode of These songs that make the news, broadcast this weekend, you hear excerpts from:
Pierre Oak, I like spanking, 2017
