base talk Who gave us the best "Gypsy" song? Which one has the most/least offensive lyrics?

[SoldierofLove]

Though still frequently encountered in English, use of the term Gypsy to refer to Roma people or their language is increasingly regarded as offensive because of negative stereotypes associated with that term. Although Gypsy is sometimes used as a neutral or positive self-descriptor, it is recommended that those for whom it is not a self-descriptor use Roma or Romani/Romany instead. Other uses of gypsy are also increasingly understood as offensive, including the general "wanderer" meaning of the noun and the related meaning of the verb gypsy, as well as compound terms, such as gypsy moth and gypsy cab. The word gyp, which probably originated as a shortened form of Gypsy, has noun and verb meanings relating to cheating and swindling that are widely considered offensive.

Taking the above into consideration, who gave us the best "Gypsy" song?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are Shakira's lyrics the most offensive?

 

'Cause I'm a gypsy, are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me

 

Or is it Hilary's lyrics?

 

That's how she works, her sick and twisted gypsy curse
She can swallow knives, she can swallow lives

 

[Burn]

Fleetwood Mac > Cher > the rest

[Afterglow]

 

Hilarys Gypsy Woman clears, the intro to the beat drop alone. And at 19 years old! Ahead of her time. 

[TedLasso]

Fleetwood Mac > Lee Quinzel > the rest

[PerfectCure]

Hilary has the best one, Gaga has the most emotional one

Not gonna lie I love all these songs.

[DiabeticGrandpa]

I dont care. Gypsy woman by hilary is an very underrated pop song. It should have been given to someone more famous

This song deserved so much more. I wish it had been a single with real promo/push.

Fleetwood, and it's not close. Shakira's is cute, but Gaga's would eat if she had released the acoustic live version as final  haven't heard the others

I was with you until that last part sis.

 

Is Hilary Duff not famous enough?  

[Katygato]

Y va liviano

Mi corazón gitano

Que solo entiende de latir a contramano

No intentes amarrarme

Ni dominarme

Yo soy quien elige cómo equivocarme

Aprovéchame, que si llegué ayer

Me puedo ir mañana

Que soy gitana

 

[Tusk]

Finally some taste on atrl. 
 

Fleetwood Mac's "Gypsy" is pop rock perfection. 
 

 

[The7thStranger]

Fleetwood Mac's is the best.

Hilary's is the most offensive. If you changed out "gypsy" to another word, it would be a perfect pop song.

[Gladiator]

how are any of these offensive

[romas_ld]

gypsy was the first BAD song from Shakira  she never recovered after

Dont mis understand me. I love my baby Hilary but the song should have been given to an even bigger artist back then for the song to shine at its fullest.

My girl obviously gets my vote
