Lesley Gore's, "Judy's Turn to Cry"
The Insincere Lyrics:
Judy kissed some other guy;
He [Judy's date] turned around and he hit him
To show he's a real lovin' guy!
He [Judy's date] turned around and he hit him
To show he's a real lovin' guy!
Why They're Insincere:
The 'rime riche'' ('guy' rhyming with 'guy') is not the issue. The girl Judy tests her boyfriend by kissing some other guy! So what does her date do? He hits the other guy rather than reprimanding Judy for flirting! this is loving?

Lesley Gore's, "You Don't Own Me"
The Insincere Lyrics:
Just let me be myself.
That's all I ask of you.
That's all I ask of you.
Why They're Insincere:
Yeah, sure. The whole song is a sullen litany of one demand after another. Yet the singer still has the gall to afffix to the last demand, 'That's all I ask of you.'!
