Seriously though, I do find the title more offensive than the song. Just my background and culture.

As for the song itself, I find it tasteless, even though I use myself every single profanity in it - in context. No hypocrisy, CH is right in saying that words are just words and it is intent and context that gives them colour. Gratuitous profanity does little for me.

I would not sing it unless threatened by a very big guy with a machete at my throat.

In any case, the song is not traditional... Or a folk song (which folk club airs it?). Otherwise, I have a much better one to suggest - Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore's "Jump, you fucker, jump...". Now, THAT is funny!
