But “Fuck Tha Police” is pro cop right?
Hey, don’t forget that he has plans for a new project, figuring out what “War Pigs” is all about. Maybe N.W.A. will be next.
See, that’s the problem with using “fuck” as a pejorative action term. Some police persons probably would be perfectly happy to be fucked.
I seem to remember that the writers Norman Whitfield and Barret Strong wanted to call the song “Fuck The War” to make the message clearer for people like acey, but Berry Gordy vetoed it.
To be fair, “absolutely nothing” leaves a lot of wiggle room for what war might be good for. That’s totally on them for not making it sufficiently clear.
“Partake with Law Enforcement in Consenusal and Mutually Enjoyable Sexual Activity” doesn’t scan.
Even moreso than the alleged pause in “one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind”, there seems to be an extra syllable in the first part of the line. “What i- i- is it good for?” The “absolutely nothing” is clear, but for awhile my brother interpreted the long syllable as saying “War? huh! But it is a good war”. But then he was confused by “absolutely nothing”. He thought it vaguely negated the phrase “but it is a good war”, so the gist of the song was still clear.
I personally had no idea either but I didn’t think about it too much.
