I’d go with Terrence and Phillip’s “Shut Your Fucking Face UncleFucker.” ---

> [@Thudlow\_Boink](#): > > My vote goes to Warren Zevon, for [My Shit’s Fucked Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ig-RShZ6m4). > [@RealityChuck](#): > > Harry Nilsson’s “[You’re Breaking My Heart.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-kjUWcr7d4).” The cheery tune gives it impact. These are my two favorite invocations of this oh-so-special word in pop music. ---

One of my favorite Christmas songs is [The Vandals’ Gun For Christmas.](https://youtu.be/_JVyiBoKAcM) And RATM’s version of [Pistol Gri[Pumped](https://youtu.be/RRkvg_LuZvk), which I used to rock out with at my desk while working on claims and spreadsheets at the accounting firm at worked at for 15 years. Headphones were practically mandatory while grinding out the stuff and nobody every told me anything about my singing and headbanging. Maybe they were wary of the pistol grip on my lap. P.S., I did not have a gun on my lap. ---

The Who and Chrissie IMO. Mainly I’m posting to express my joy that other folk appreciate the Supersuckers and Eddie Spaghetti - simply The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World! 😃 And back to my formative years, I remember being impressed at David Peel and the Lower East Side’s “Up Against the Wall MF”! Yeah, smoking tiparillos and playing pool in my buddy’s basement, listening to music like THAT! Talk about “out there” in 8th grade! 😉 ---

Can I nominate the mythical “One, two, three, fuuuuuuck!” by Paul McCartney kicking off [“I Saw Her Standing There”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwAB3SECtc), on the first song of the Beatles’ first album. He _could_ be saying it. ---

I really like, from “Last of my kind” by Alice in Chains: "Trapped in the cold outside There ain’t no shelter And they want to force my hand Until I take what I wanted And break all the lies And defeat the fucking liars Smash all the temples And crawl through the rubble And cry to the fallen" Typical light and cheery stuff from AIC. ---

Ah, here’s one from John Lennon– _They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool Till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t follow their rules A working class hero is something to be_ ---

Wayne County and the Electric Chairs. [Fuck Off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FEH4dXjUkk) NSFW. Considering the thread I guess that goes without saying, doesn’t it? ---

[Magazine, “Permafrost”.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCzSeeiAFqQ) > [@](#): > > As the day stops dead > At the place where we’re lost > I will drug you and fuck you > On the permafrost The casually offhand way Howard Devoto says it just makes the lyric. Also John McGeoch is a guitar beast. ---
