Songs they'd NEVER let contestants perform on American Idol

Anything from the RockyHorror Soundtrack:

Touch-a-touch-a-touch me - I want to feel dirty.
Make me a man
The TimeWarp (its just a jump to the left)

although the timewarp should be used on “So you think you can dance”…

I thought of Darlin Niki and Sexy MF.

I’d love to see Blake from last year do Sexy MF.

And a non-Prince nom from me-- Warren Zevon’s My Shit’s Fucked Up. I hope that never makes it since I’d hate to cry while watching Idol.

Rape Me - Nirvana
Heroin Girl - Everclear
Little Girls - Oingo Boingo
Diana - Three Pound Thrill
Squeeze Box - The Who
10 Inch Record - Aerosmith

“Boys Want Sex in the Morning” by Uncle Bonsai.

I’ve not watched AI in years, but I always used to hope when they’d make them pick a country song, that some young gentleman would croon the Reverend Horton Heat’s Interracial Cowboy Love.

That would be so awesome.

Harry Nilsson’s “You’re Breaking My Heart” Though it is the perfect American Idol song for someone who’s just been kicked off.

Similarly, the Woodstock version of “The Fish Cheer” is a good one.

“So What” by the Anti-Nowhere-League (also covered by Metallica)

I’m trying to come up with a song from The Wall that wouldn’t fit in this thread, and I’m having a hard time. Don’t Leave Me Now would be a great choice. The instrumental introduction alone would chew up most of the time the contestants are given. But I’d have to pick In the Flesh. Expressing a desire to have Jews, queers, and coons shot makes for great prime time viewing.

Jimmy Buffett’s The Asshole Song.

Or maybe The Rodeo Song

Along those lines:
Innagaddadavita
Light my Fire
Echoes

“Don’t Go Home with Your Hard-On”

and this one I was skeeved to hear on K-Rock, something about “if it weren’t for rape I’d never get laid”?? :eek: Perhaps it’s been mentioned; I don’t know the name.

Gates of Delirium, by Yes

Wilfred Owen - the poem being Dulce et Decorum Est.

My contribution would be Toby Keith - As Good as I Once Was. A first verse about a threesome with a pair of twins, followed by a verse about brawling in a bar. Probably wouldn’t pass the purity test.

Gigi , you’re thinking of Sublime’s “Date Rape”. Which reminds me that Sublime’s “April 24 1992” (about the Rodney King riots) would also be a great offend everyone choice.

Last Caress by the Misfits

I got somethign to say
I killed a baby today
and it doesn’t matter much to me
as long as it’s dead

next verse is about raping your mother. Good healthy Anarchy from the early 80’s

“Get Low” by Lil’ Jon, with the super ick factor line:
“to the sweat drip down my balls”

How about the one where he likes her on her knees with his hand around her neck, or something?

And from the same album that had Bobby Brown:

His scatological sense of humor aside, and the multitude of crappy guitar masturbation albums he put out, Zappa was a very gifted musician.

a guest judge appearance by Dr. Dirty, John Valby?
