More importantly, did he mention putting "his bone into her hair."

/somebody in Congress should investigate this.

How about The Who and Who Are You. They drops the f-bomb twice. It's been played on the radio a million times. But Alanis Morissette gets her f-bomb bleeped.

Why is that? Cause the The Who didn't include the word on the lyric sheet.

If you play the intro backwards you can hear "Dick Peterson is dead man, miss him miss him"

Once again I refer you to "The Ballad of the Kingsmen" by Todd Snider. That should explain it all!

thanks subby.

I always thought that was because the Who are awesome and Alanis Morissette is a dumb coont.

If you're really looking for an obscene performance of Louie Louie, I suggest you give a listen to the version on Iggy & The Stooges' live Metallic K.O. album.

I think we're missing the big picture here. If your name had two euphemisms for penis in it, you'd swear as often and as angrily as possible.

lajimi: Snopes (new window)

I'm usually good with Snopes' work, but this:

Sightings: John Belushi's 'Bluto' character (anachronistically, because the film is set in 1962) teaches the dirty "Louie Louie" lyrics to a group of fraternity pledges in 1978's Animal House

Belushi doesn't "teach" anybody anything. At the end of the toga party scene, a bunch of Deltas are drunkenly singing gibberish lyrics to "Louie, Louie" -- even more gibberishy than the song itself (which was the point of the gag in the first place). One would be hard pressed to discern any comprehensible word uttered by anyone in that scene, much less take the position that Belushi was "teaching" the pledges any lyrics, dirty or otherwise.

I noticed that my local classic rock station usually didn't bother censoring songs, especially late at night. I don't imagine they'd get many complaints. But of course, somebody had to an end to that over the past few years...

There are only lyrics to 'Louie Louie' if you're drunk enough to think there are lyrics, and not just some muffled rambling.

/we weren't allowed to sing it at summer camp because it had 'inappropriate lyrics'
//still haven't figured out how we were going to sing it without musical instruments of any type in the first place

dunno bout that one.

I'm kinda partial to the Ronnie Van Zant ad lib near the end of "Sweet Home Alabama"

"my donuts...godamn"

the word "shiat" gets dropped a few times by my local radio station


I noticed that "Smiling as the [shiat] comes down" was blanked out on Crowded House's recent Austin City Limits gig.

I remember reading (can't recall the source, unfortunately) that the engineer in the studio recorded the band with a single microphone, suspended about 8 feet in the air, directly above the band. So the only way the vocalist could be heard was to lean back and scream in the general direction of the mike, over the amplified din of the band. No wonder the lyrics aren't exactly clear.

Make up your own farkin' words...

and now...the news:
louie louie
oh baby i gotta go

i think about the meaning of my life again
and i have to sing louie louie again
louie louie
oh baby i gotta go
louie louie oh baby

let's give it to' em right now
oh man, i dunno like...health insurance

but. ..hey

it makes me wanna sing louie louie
louie louie
oh baby i gotta go

If you can't tell what he says, who gives a fark anyway?

artman:

Why thank you ;)

IggyE: "'artman:/iggyFTW'

Why thank you ;)"

You're welcome.

Electrified version.

He also did a nastier revision on Metallic KO. But you'd already know that. ;)

John says "Oh! fark it all!" in Hey Jude after screwing up the lyrics.

sure he did, as long as the "F" sound and the "CK" sound are not required to be present, it sounds just like that word.

Larry Mahnken: John says "Oh! fark it all!" in Hey Jude after screwing up the lyrics.

Where in the song?

/not challenging your statement.
//just want to hear it.

Dick Peterson

Hey Jude...

2:57 mark, right before the Nah Nah Nah Nah's.

John says, "Chord" then someone (word is Paul on a backing piano track slammed his fingers) says "farking Hell"

Plain as day. You can hear it EVERY time on the radio.

Tachikoma:
//still haven't figured out how we were going to sing it without musical instruments of any type in the first place

Voice.

He was saying "Fark!"

Ahead of his time!

troppo gonzo: the word "shiat" gets dropped a few times by my local radio station

Here's another one... "Outshined" by Soundgarden:

"The grass is always greener / Where the dogs are shiatting"

I've heard this one played on a bunch of rock stations across the country but never heard it blanked out by any of them (including the Clear Channel-owned ones).

/In other news, "Louie Louie" had lyrics

Why should I care? That video was a waste of time. I drop the F-bomb 30 times before I finish my breakfast.

NightOwl2255: How about The Who and Who Are You. They drops the f-bomb twice. It's been played on the radio a million times. But Alanis Morissette gets her f-bomb bleeped.

That !

If looee looee said F it was about 20 feet from the mic.
Ah Who the F are you !

Regardless, song still sucks. hardcore.

Dick Peterson couldn't have dropped it in this song, considering he wasn't singing.

GLove88mph:

"Louie, Louie"? Your license to rock is hereby revoked. Permanently.

My favorite...

Oh were so pretty oh so pretty vay-c[u]nt
But now and we don't care

Steve Miller--Jet Airliner
Pink Floyd--Money

Our classic rock station plays the version where Steve Miller says "Funky "kicks" going down in the city" instead of "Funky shiat going down in the city."

I also think they consider "Bullshiat" to be a different word than "shiat" and less offensive, so they don't censor it in Money.

Third_Uncle_Eno: thanks subby.
I've always wanted to know the real lyrics to this song... and now i do thanks to you and youtube.
those videos of the lyrics and song on youtube are rather nice and convenient and informative.... just like this Link (new window) one is.


[p.s. i never knew the vocalist was the vocalist AND the drummer.... thanks for the info...]

I almost did not click on your link, I thought it might be a rickroll. That was absolutely hysterical! Thanks for posting that.

mwahahaha. that was my intended effect... to make the other farkers wary of clicking it, but those who did got a pleasent and funny surprise.

I remember that vid being an "source" for a fark thread a little while back... and it occasionally pops up in lyric related threads. FYI.

Glad you enjoyed it. :-) you're very welcome.

/ make me fries.

TSG had the fbi report on this from the 50's and the kingsmen said the song has no lyrics

Hey, Third_Uncle_Eno! Did you see that David Byrne and Brian Eno are recording together again... and may actually TOUR??? I didn't think Brian would ever tour. I'll believe it when I (hopefully) see it, and even then I may not believe it!

I always hear the "a harmless little fark" line from Pearl Jam - 'Jeremy' on the radio stations around here

OrangeDuster: DaWormyPimpsta: dunno bout that one.

I'm kinda partial to the Ronnie Van Zant ad lib near the end of "Sweet Home Alabama"

"my donuts...godamn"

Is that what he says? I always thought it was something about a goldfish.

yep, the story goes that Van Zant had a serious jones for donuts and as he was recording the vocals he looked through the window and saw the rest of the band scarfing down his donuts with big shiat-eating grins on their faces.

That's the story, anyway...

No, no he didn't.

he made an almost completely inaudible noise. Why do we immediately assume it was the fark word?

redstarr01: Dick Peterson
heheheheheheheheh. His name is slightly redundant...

/unintelligible at any speed...

I have a buddy and we'll still sing 'Make me fries' to each other and laugh like idiots. I love that video.

It sure sounds like whoever is muttering in Hey Jude is saying "let it out," which is of course a lyric to the song. I've heard that all my life and never questioned that it. Listening again I sure don't hear any farking.

Here's some help in finding extras in Beatles songs.

Link (new window)

Oddly enough, I just found this site 2 days ago, and I've listened to a lot of the anomalies that are listed. Use headphones, and you'll hear a lot of them also. Very interesting to hear these things for the first time after hearing the songs themselves for 30 years now (for me).

According to the sound engineer Geoff Emerick, (quoting Lennon) "Paul hit a clunker on the piano and said a naughty word, but I insisted we leave it in, buried just low enough so that it can barely be heard. Most people won't ever spot it... but we'll know it's there."

So there ya have it.

No Frickin' way!!!! Are you for realz?!
I did not know that. Thank you for the info!!
Would this be [if it happends] the first time they recorded something together since Remain In Light / My Life in the Bush of Ghosts?
Even just an album would be awesome.... but a TOUR would be in-frickin-credible.
Yeah... i didn't think that Brian would ever tour either... especially since he declined the invitation to join roxy music on their reunion tour a few years ago...
[speaking of them, it seems like him and Bryan are still ok / on good ground... I think Eno collaborated on with Bryan Ferry on a track or two on Bryan's last album]
speaking of eno collaborations, have you listened to the Cale/Eno cd "wrong way up"? is it good?

/ speaking of Eno collaborations, I have a double record set of a France Fripp and Eno 1975 concert. It's ok/good. The last half of the last side is almost like a drone of "metal machine music" proportions... i'm still not sure if it was worth $50 on ebay, tho... lolz
