Discussion: Profanity in Music

[Drumhead]

Not too sure, but I do not recall hearing the word "dingleberry" in any song. George has a fairly good reason why... which might be why it stays on 5th grade buses.

And in the spirit of the thread, those who are offended by so-called bad/nasty language, you may want to avoid this clip.

Profanity, and I assume we mean repeated profanity, in lyrics IMO just shows a lack of creativity.

Why can't I hear words on the radio that 5th graders use on the school bus?

Because you're not on the right bus.

btw, knowing what I know of Mozart, I 'spect he mighta subtitled some of his works (at least under his breath) "Here's another one for the assholes who sponsor me... with the pittance they bother to give me... **** 'em and the horse they rode in on"...

**** Mozart!

Bach is where it's at!

He was the Jack Bruce of his time.

I 'spect it's prolly 'cause of FCC rules...

btw... on a sorta related note, I gotta thank Bill Clinton... for having, by his actions nearly twenty years ago, brought the subject of blow jobs to national attention..

I well remember how much I dearly wanted to on the other side of the world when I had to try to explain to my second-daughter, with much hemming and hawing, exactly what this was all about...

best I could do was to tell her it was something to do with grownups... and not something that she needed to know about right now...
