Offensive Lyrics in Popular Radio Songs.

The great Leonard Cohen song “The Future” has these lines:

Give me crack, anal sex,
Take the only tree that’s left,
Stuff it up the hole in your culture

When Cohen performed on the PBS show “Austin City Limits”, he changed the line to “careless sex”. Of course, it’s still a profoundly disturbing song.

Yeah, Biffy has it.

‘Paint it Black’ means paint that object black.

‘Paint it, Black’ means ‘you there with the extra melanin! Paint that object!’

Oops.

What if a song is offensively stupid, like the “Fever for the Flavor of the Coochie” song that I hear far, far too much of?
