hits with questionable lyrics that routinely get past the censors

Pink Floyd's "Money" never gets censored, and isn't there a Steve Miller hit song that says fuck or shit in it?

"Cameltoe," anyone? "OPP?"

Nate, I don't where you get "miscarriage" out of that, but "the rabbit died" used to be a euphemism for someone being pregnant.

Yeah, and they don't bleep "skeet so much, they call her Billy Ocean"

We do, indeed...so apparently Rod decided that it's better to give than to receive! ;) (That's a joke, and a pretty darn good one if I say so myself! Hope somebody gets it...)

Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side" famously features the phrase "giving head".

And I'll never forget Xgau's hilarious assertion that Toni Basil was "the only woman ever to offer to take it up the ass on top 40 radio (close your eyes and really concentrate on "Mickey" if you don't believe me.)"

In case you don't know, the lyric Bob's referring to is "Anyway you wanna do it / I’ll take it like a man"

That quote was nicked from Robert Johnson...

Wannabe (Spice Girls) has this bit...
So here's a story from A to Z, you wanna get with me
you gotta listen carefully,
We got Em in the place who likes it in your face,
we got G like MC who likes it on an
Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady,
and as for me you'll see,
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around

So, that's bucacce, and shagging on extersie, not bad for a first single where they hadn;t quite worked out who their core audience were...

It's at the very end of the song, plain as day. I can't remember ever hearing it edited out on the radio.

"just wanta make you cumma"

That version of Anarchy in the UK by whavever heavy metal band that got "and other cuntlike tendencies"..

Squeeze - Cool For Cats

" Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode
Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode

There's a guy in the place
He's got a bittersweet face
And he goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode
His friends call him Eezer and he is the main geezer
And he'll vibe about the place like no other man could
He's refined, he's sublime, he makes you feel fine
Though very much maligned and misunderstood
But if you know Eezer he's a real crowd pleaser
He's ever so good, he's Ebeneezer Goode
You can see that he's mischievious, mysterious and devious
When he circulates amongst the people in the place
But once you know he's fun and something of a genius
He gives a grin that goes around from face to face to face
Backwards and then forwards, forwards and then backwards
Eezer is the geezer who loves to muscle in
That's about the time the crowd all shout the name of Eezer
As he's kotcheled in the corner, laughing by the bass bin
Ebeneezer Goode, leading light of the scene
Know what I mean, see
He created the vibe
He takes you for a ride and as if by design
The party ignites like he's comin alive
He takes you to the top, shakes you all around
Then back down, you know as he gets mellow
Then as smooth as the groove that is making you move
He glides into your mind with a sunny Hello
A gentleman of leisure, he's there for your pleasure
But go easy on old Eezer he's the love you could lose
Extraordinary fellow, like Mr. Punchinello
He's the kind of geezer who must never be abused
When you're in town and Ebeneezer is around
You can sense a presence in the sound of the crowd
He gets them all at it, the party starts rocking
The people get excited it's time to shout loud "

and so on...

The whole of the last segment of lyrics on 'how many more times' by Zep seams to be about incestual pederasty, but Imay be wrong.

come on you cant beat that.

Radio 1 had/has a policy, swearing is ok in some situations 'on-record', but not by the DJs.

Thesedays, any 'more sweary' records have a 'warning' statement read by the DJ. (This will be for Zane Lo, Man Westwood, John Peel and co, so they can play stuff thats relevant to their area..)

...but now I come to think of it, I'm also the person who always thought the chorus went, "Can't stand in no sunlight/Living in a gangsta's paradise" so I might just be being a fucknut again.

"I'm the man in the box, shove my nose in shit"

Also, somebody whispers "fuck" at the start of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain". I've never read anything about why or how this got on the recording. (it's extremely quiet, turn the volume way up if you want to hear it)

They beeped out "187" during Snoop's performance on the Chappelle show tonight.
-- Chris H. (chrisherber...), March 25th, 2004.

and yet, amazingly, the disease-ridden penis of the Snoop-voiced puppet was completely uncensored.

"I got a taste of the real world/ When I went down on you, girl"

(While the background vocals are "Don't waste a drop of it")

The band seems to be in denial about this, however.

But not quite as strange as reading the phrase "getting past the censors" in the U.S.

That's saying "everybody's got one."

Drums beating, cold english blood runs hot,
Lady of the house wond’rin where it’s gonna stop.
House boy knows that he’s doin’ alright.
You should a heard him just around midnight.
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a black girl should
A-huh.

I bet your mama was a tent show queen, and all her boy
Friends were sweet sixteen.
I’m no schoolboy but I know what I like,
You should have heard me just around midnight.

Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like a, just like a black girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like, just like a black girl should.

I have always been convinced that it repeats "Everybody Smoke Pot! Everybody Smoke Pot!"

Still wondering about this one!

"I wanna Love you Forever" - Jessica Simpson

COME ON

...it's gonna be ugly?

"Fireworks" by Tragically Hip seemed to get "you said you didn't give a fuck about hockey" by the censors, but probably because it's a song about Bobby Orr.

I have never once heart the "We aaaaarrre/ The coolest motherfuckers on the planet" part edited out.

I remember as a wee lad being amazed that a Smashie and Nicey-era, pre-Bannister Radio 1 had no qualms about playing "Just Who Is the Five O'Clock Hero" by the Jam ("covered in shit and aches and pains"). I'm sure the Jam had other big hits that usd piss, shit etc, but I'm (deleted) if I can think of which ones.

in cosmo vitelli's song called "dance with me" (i think) there're words that seem to me to be:

"the way i wanna love you, well, could be against the law..."

can you pretty please explain to me what exactly does he mean?
thank you very much.

Probably written before the Supreme Court struck down the Texas sodomy statute.

thank you mark for such a romantic suggestion anywayse :heart:

I still can't believe that record was massive...

I thought this was settled years ago, but didn't they say it was "Oompah joompah, everybody's got one"?

I always thought it was "Oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper". People did used to say this.

I heard that the other day too - it was just about school run time and I'm sure the parents wouldn't approve.

Choir - six boys singing "Oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper", six girls singing "Everybody's got one"

I'm packed and I'm holding,
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and
she lives for me, ahe says she lives for me
ovation, her own motivation
she comes round and she goes down on me
and I make her smile like a drug for you
do ever what you wanna do
comin' over you
keep on smiling what we go through
one stop to the rhythm that divides you
and I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
chop another line like a coda with a curse
comin' like a freak show takes the stage
we give them the games we play, she said
I want something else
to get me through this
semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
good-bye

the sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
and I wish I could get back there
smiling in the pictures you would take
doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break
I won't stop
I won't come down, I keep stock
with a ticktock rhythm and a bump for the drop
and then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
and then I bumped again
and then I bumped again
how do I get back there to
the place where I fell asleep inside you
how do I get myself back to
the place where you said
I want something else
to get me through this
semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
good-bye

I believe in the sand beneath my toes
the beach gives a feeling
an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
and the four right chords can make me cry
when I'm with you I feel like
I could die and that would be alright
all right
when the plane came in
she said she was crashing
the velvet it rips
in the city we tripped
on the urge to feel alive
but now I'm struggling to survive
the days you were wearing
that velvet dress
you're the priestess
must confess
those little red panties
they pass the test
slide up around the belly
face down on the mattress
one
now you hold me
and we're broken
still it's all that I want to do
feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down
and I won't run for my life
she's got her jaws just locked now in smile
but nothing is alright
all right
I want something else
to get me through this
semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
good-bye
good-bye
good-bye
good-bye

Prince never really did too much of the 'shit fuck cunt' etc. but every time he comes on the radio it feels filthy. "Your face is jammin' / Your body's heck-a-slammin' / If love is good / Let's get to rammin'."

Ray Parker Jr. for all time

Just got my haircut and that perennial uncensored favourite The Fairytale Of New York was playing on Heart FM.

Aw, skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet.

I can't think of any other examples of anything so filthy slipping by unwitting censors. "Oh, they must be promoting skeet shooting. A wonderful, wholesome pasttime. I say, good show, Little Jon."

"Look for the purple banana 'til they throw us in the truck." Prince - Let's Go Crazy

The term skeet may refer to:

* A clay target
* Skeet shooting
* The Olympic Skeet event
* Skeet Ulrich, an American actor
* Skeet surfing
* CBU-97 Sensor Fuzed Weapon ammunition
* Term used in Newfoundland English to describe a low class, disruptive person
* Term used in Manx English or Anglo Manx to describe news or gossip
* A non-standard poker hand consisting of a deuce, five, nine and a card in between 2-5 and 5-9
* Slang for "trouble maker" / "low class ne'erdowell / sneaky person
* Slang for coitus interruptus
* Slang term for semen
* Name of characters first name "Skeeter Valentine", from Doug

Hmmmmmmmmm...

I wonder if record company people go around adding never-used meanings of words to slang dictionaries, so they can later use them when arguing with radio authorities. "No, no, he's saying, repeatedly, that East Side Boyz are a bunch of trouble makers - low class ne'er-do-wells!"
