Explicit lyrics
Explicit lyrics
Two tracks at the mo that got me thinking about this are Billionaire and Forget you (of which the original version is F*** you). In both of these tracks it really is just one word, and this word is changed for the radio edit so when you hear the original version afterwards it doesn't sound right anyway. And means you can't play these versions around kids and stuff, which is silly for mainstream music.
In the case of the cee-lo track it means a completely different track title so again just makes it so stupid - is it just that these guys are morons fundamentally and think that swearing somehow makes them and their music cooler?

What exactly is the point of explicit lyrics? I get it with some rap because it fits, but in the majority of cases there really is no point for it........

It is true that as we all get older swearing gets more and more annoying - even I stop and think kids nowadays have disgusting language, and mine is non to clean sometimes.......
"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"

It's just that the swearing should make sense and actually add something to the track - the two that I've mentioned work perfectly fine in their radio edit forms, the original explicit versions in comparison just sound really silly like they somehow wanted to fit a swear word in there somewhere.

Makes the songs sound weird IMHO when you hear the full version...
That "It's Not Fair" song by Lily Allen has a couple sections cut out on the radio that are on the CD - I didn't think they were actually all that explicit tbh for a song all about the word that got blocked in Phil's mention above...
