Apparently,, Handel’ Messiah, most likely by accident, got slapped with the Tucker Parental Advisory label by Apple’s iTunes.
Maybe it was for “But who may abide the day of his coming?”
Or “He shall break them” can be interpreted as an S&M gospel song. I don’t know.
Maybe they thought it was too hot to -
OW! OW! Put those rocks down! OW!
They asked Georg if he could write the “Messiah” in only one week. He replied:
“I think I can Handel it.”
I think it had something to do with “And he shall feed his flock like a shepherd.” It’s not actually that particular piece, but who knows what was going on with that flock between arias. Wicked.
“For we like sheep”
That must be it, av8r: For wee[ing] like sheep.
