Profanity snuck into popular songs played on the radio

"Who Are You?" - The Who (...who the frick are you...)

"Start Me Up!" - The Rolling Stones (...you make a dead man cum...)

"Life in the Fast Lane" - The Eagles (...we've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a Goddamned thing)


All played without censored lyrics on mainstream FM radio in the 1980s. I heart it.

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing "that little figot with the earring and the makeup"

Pink Floyd - Money says bullshite

That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shite goin' down in the city

"And I wish I was special
You're so frickin' special"

I know it's usually the so "very" special recorded for radio version that's usually heard, but I heard a version of Creep on 92.3 here in New Orleans yesterday had the original and so barely blurred it out that I swore they said it.

The "shove my nose in shite" line from Man in the Box. I've heard both the censored and uncensored versions.

It did in Iraq.


"That shite is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s."

My son and his wife swear they know how to spell bananas because of that song.

I did raise some pretty good millenials (relatively speaking, of course.)

Pearl Jam - Jeremy


Seemed a harmless little frick

'Well I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand,
They know they getting it from me.'

Catch Scratch Fever---Ted Nugent

*I guess technically he could be talking about petting a cat, but it's Nugent, we know what he means.
