Thread Name: Offensive lyrics- edit?
Subject: RE: Offensive lyrics- edit?
Sing what you want, but please don't post "PCd" lyrics here. One problem is that what's politically correct changes with the times. When I was a bit younger, you couldn't sing anything by Stephen Foster or Rudyard Kipling; anything sexual was a no-no and things like Wee Cooper o' Fife were jes' fine. Today, you can screw your wife in a song as long as you don't beat her.
    God only knows what will be politically offensine a decade from now. If we edit songs to fit each changing breeze, there won't be anything left.
