What's your favourite example of foul language in Rock?

Great swearing in Rock, or indeed, Pop?


Adapted from another forum but it got me thinking and could be quite a good one to discuss here.

I've just added a new set list to my iphone today ready for a business trip and I noticed quite a few of them have quite select language...hope the guy next to me on the plane isn't easily offended cos this shit will be up loud:

"She fuckin' hates me"
Puddle of Mudd

And a favourite of mine which will soon be a new addition to our set:

"fuck this and fuck that, fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat..."
Sex Pistols - Bodies

Have you got any other examples of great swearing in Rock, or indeed, Pop?

Ian Fucking Dury!! The opening lines of Plaistow Patricia off New Boots and Panties take some beating, I'd have thought.

The Fish cheer which went before Country Joes 'Feel Like I'm Fixing to Die' half a million peopleat Woodstock joining in, even though the single version has him going F I S H (gimmee a F, gimmee a U, Gimmee C gimmee a K...whats that spell?'

Most effective was Lennon's in Working Class Hero, although when singers do it at an open mic, just doesn't sound the same

Pearl Jam 'Jeremy':

"I remember picking on the boy;
Seemed a harmless little fuck,
But we unleashed the lion;
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess ladies breast.
How could I forget?"

I always liked The Libertines - What A Waster

What a waster, what a fucking waster
You pissed it all up the wall
Round the corner where they chased her

There's tears coming out from everywhere
The city's hard, the city's fair
Get back inside you've got nothing on
No you mind yer bleedin own you two bob cunt

superb delivery.

Not particularly arsed about swearwords in lyrics tbh. If I notice them at all, it's part of a rhythmic thing, not a statement. It's never had the desired shock factor. Sometimes it comes across as amusingly childish though. I do chuckle at that context....

Im not trying to be flippant here,but if we all swore all the time,including vicars,policemen,politicians,nuns, perhaps it would stop these muso clowns,comedians,looking so sensational.
lets face it,even schoolkids are effing & blinding any chance they get...T
