While in the 21st Century, we allow people like 50 cent to rap "I'll take you to the candy shop, I'll let you lick the lollipop" on top-40 radio

Sometimes I think that the pendulum might have swung too far in the wrong way.

yeah, what were the chances kids listening to music were ever going to take provocative lyrics too far?

shake your head, but then accept 50 cent like you wished your parents/grandparents would have accepted the music you listened to. its going to be ok... your kids really won't turn into gaping assholes because of their favorite music. you didn't (presumably). have some faith in them.

Link (biatches ain't shiat.) Don't think I can post the lyrics.

Krusty the Clown: Now, boys, the network has a problem with some of your lyrics. Do you mind changing them for the show?

Anthony Kiedis: Forget you, clown.

Chad Smith: Yeah, our lyrics are like our children, man. No way.

Krusty the Clown: Well, okay, but here where it says, "What I got you gotta get and put it in ya," how about just, "What I'd like is I'd like to hug and kiss ya."

Flea: Wow. That's much better.

Arik Marshall: Everyone can enjoy that.

Let's try this again:

Copy and paste, but delete the letter in bold.

"Let's Spend the Night Together" was allowed on Top 40 radio in 1969. For years, radio played Pink Floyd's "Money" without editing the "bullshiat" line.

I think the line "I know that You will satisfy Me" is more sexually provocative than Spend the Night Together. ..but it's all harmless to Me.

FAIL Subby, this is from 1967!

In Savannah in 1969, when they played The Beatles song "The Ballad Of John And Yoko", they beeped out the "Christ" from "Christ you know it ain't easy"

YEp, and mick the puppet bent over and changed the lyrics.

*THIS* guy wasnt bending over for your TV God:

Too Bad he couldn't have done Start Me Up especially that last line, "you you you you'd make a dead man cum..." Ed would have dropped dead.

Milton Berle, however, would have said O RLY and asked for a phone #
