Similarly, at the very end of Van Halen’s Everybody Wants Some!!, a fading Dave says “Look, I’ll pay you for them, I mean, what the fuck?” DJs usually start talking or start the next song just before the last word, although it got through enough times that in high school we’d always pause to hear what would happen.
I assume radio stations get previously bleeped versions of songs? Now I’m wondering, because there’s a new alternative/metal station here who can bleep just the “u” from fuck. It’s kind of impressive.
Steppenwolf’s version of Hoyt Axton “The Pusher,” has the lyric “God damn the pusher.” It’s not easy to miss, since it’s part of the chorus.
When it first came out, someone I worked with wouldn’t listen to the song because of that.
