The song, not so much, but the video is kinda creepy. Especially the walking around all the pictures that are hanging down. It came across more stalker-ish than Lolita to me though.
But damn, if I didn't laugh out loud when I read your subject line. xD
There is just something about the infantilization of the women in the song that drives me up the wall. And I know that a woman always being 'daddy's little girl' is firmly rooted in our culture and sometimes it seems realistic, but in this song....
After I rewatched it and looked for it, I get what you're saying. There is something almost creepy in it. But then again, if you put a spin on anything, you can run with the creepy. Which is why half the stuff in our culture/television/music is cool.
And then you have those moments where you have a little voice in the back of your head going, "There is something wrong here!" (For me, it's the voice Robin Williams uses in Live On Broadway when he's talking about Charles Manson--I think, don't quote me on it--and he goes, "He has issues" in this really funny voice.)

Fair point. But sometimes, as you mention, the creepy just smacks you in the face.
