Subject: RE: Songs that escape the censors?
Desmond Decker and the Aces' "Israelites," a radio hit in the 60s, contained the line "My wife and my kids, they fuck off and leave me." Because of Desmond's Jamaican(?) accent it came out "My wife and my kids, they fahkafanda leave me" and nobody in radioland semeed to know what he was singing. (I'm not sure I spelled Desmond's last name correctly.)
