Thread Name: banned songs
Subject: RE: banned songs
We were talking about the worst 'hit' record of all time and everyone came up with a different one although occasionally someone or other would say that they quite liked that certain song/tune etc.

Self censorship is the thing...not trying to offend someone either their moral code or beliefs.

Now here's the paradox..I like swearing, strong industrial language yet I am usually offended when I hear it in a song!!

I would never swear in front of someone if I thought it would offend them and I have never blasphemed (church going grandmothers influence)

And yet..words like redundant and cancer are a lot worse to both the heart and to the ear than any swear word I can think of.

Thanks to the good Dr. you've exorcised my need to hear "Give Ireland back..." by Mr.Mac....now I'll have to look out for "Waltzing with Bears"

love and ******* happiness
