These lyrics are explicit.
They mean just what they say.
There is have no hidden baggage
They're plain and clear as day

They don't avoid the subject
They use four-letter words
They are not mean, or mealy-mouthed
For that would be absurd

To post explicit lyrics
Can seem somehow to vex
But these lyrics are explicit
And explicitly not about sex!

I see many thread titles that are just asking for a cheeky response but I don't want to trivialize the thread itself.
So if you see such a thread, post the title and your response here.

Examples...
Can I sing 'bloody' on American radio ? - YOUR singing is BLOODY all the time!
Anybody know a good harmonica site? - The trash can!
Sandy and Caroline Paton's Performance. - Am I the only one who wants to giggle at this?
Putting fiddle tunes into medleys - Why? They all sound the same anyway!

So now you can use your smart Alec remarks without offending the thread originator.

Go for it!

Bert.
