The original first verse of Cole Porter’s “Let’s Do It”: _Chinks do it, Japs do it Upper Lapland little Lapps do it Let’s do it, let’s fall in love_ Later changed to “Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it…” ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Has [Big Bad Bruce](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH6GaZzNX8U) been mentioned? It was a parody of _Big Bad John_, but, you know, gay. In a similar vein, “[C. B. Savage](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rod+hart/cb+savage_20848923.html),” which came out shortly after “Convoy” topped the charts and featured a gay trucker. Also Weird Al’s “[Truck Drivin’ Song](https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/weirdalyankovic/truckdrivinsong.html).” ---

> [@Enright3](#): > > Heh… I came in here to add “Just about any song from David Allen Coe.” Yep, that’s what I thought of, too. When I was in high school somebody gave me an _n_th generation cassette of [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_Album). (Or at least it was claimed to be the underground album. It may have been [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Sacred_(David_Allan_Coe_album)) one instead, because the only song I remember from it is the [_Three Biggest Lies_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLggFs8i8Eg). Could have been both albums on one tape.) ---

> [@C.Montgomery\_Burns](#): > > “All Coons Look Alike To Me” That one caught my eye a few months back via seeing [the artwork](https://www.google.com/search?q=All+Coons+Look+Alike+To+Me&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiCvqu89rfaAhWG6YMKHexJB_4Q_AUICigB&biw=1056&bih=509) for it in an unrelated Google Images search. Found [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl5Xc8_zySg) wax cylinder recording on YouTube. ---

> [@control-z](#): > > A joke song, but “Stuart” by The Dead Milkmen: Yeah, it’s not PC but, as you stated, it’s a joke song performed from the perspective of a bigoted conspiracy-monger so it deserves a pass. ---

When I was a kid, a friend of mine’s old Norwegian grandfather had a gold mine in Alaska. We used to go up there and goof around. Grandpa had an old Edison Victrola that played cylinders. One of them was a song called “Hey Wop!” Some lyrics: “Hey Wop! Get up, get up, it’s seven o’clock! Hey Wop! Get up and go down to the barber shop!” ---

Thats inaccurate. Its more about going out with a girl thats way too young for you. And yes im aware of the video ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > I’d say that “Rock and Roll Part 2” has become non-PC since Gary Glitter’s child-sex conviction. Not because of it’s content (it’s an instrumental, after all). But since Glitter’s conviction, the NFL has requested that teams no longer play it in the stadiums and other professional teams and some college teams no longer play it. Penn State definitely still plays it. (I’ll be here all week.) On a more pertinent note, back in the bad old days before I had Sirius, I used to hear the Dire Straits’ _Money For Nothing_ on terrestrial radio with the line about “the little faggot with the earring and the makeup” bleeped out. Not literally bleeped, I don’t think that’s actually a thing with songs, only spoken dialog - more like a dead space of silence where the word is supposed to be.
