Sir Stewart Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I heard Public Enemy's "Welcome To The Terrordome" the other day and was reminded how much of a stink these lines caused:"Crucifixion ain't no fiction/So-called chosen, frozen/Apology made to whoever pleases/Still they got me like Jesus." More info here What are some other lyrics that infamously made the news? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Sir Jagger has penned some memorable ones... Who else would write a song about having sex in slave-trade era New Orleans? What about the last lines in Start Me Up? "You make a dead man come!" Mmmmm. Necrophilia. Broadcast at every major sporting event in the USA. Between that line and hearing Rock N Roll Part II...

yermom Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Patti Smith - Rock n Roll Nigger Baby was a black sheep. Baby was a whore.Baby got big and baby get bigger.Baby get something. Baby get more.Baby, baby, baby was a rock-and-roll nigger.Oh, look around you, all around you,riding on a copper wave.Do you like the world around you?Are you ready to behave? Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.Outside of society, that's where I want to be. (Lenny!) Baby was a black sheep. Baby was a whore.You know she got big. Well, she's gonna get bigger.Baby got a hand; got a finger on the trigger.Baby, baby, baby is a rock-and-roll nigger. Outside of society, that's where I want to be.Outside of society, they're waitin' for me. (those who have suffered, understand suffering,and thereby extend their handthe storm that brings harmalso makes fertileblessed is the grassand herb and the true thorn and light) I was lost in a valley of pleasure.I was lost in the infinite sea.I was lost, and measure for measure, love spewed from the heart of me.I was lost, and the cost, and the cost didn't matter to me.I was lost, and the costwas to be outside society. Jimi Hendrix was a nigger.Jesus Christ and Grandma, too.Jackson Pollock was a nigger.Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger,nigger, nigger, nigger. Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.Outside of society, if you're looking,that's where you'll find me.Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.Outside of society.

It may actually have been called that."Better By You, Better Than Me" was the song - which actually was a cover, I think. edit: the LP the song was on, Stained Class, is a REALLY heavy record. It also has one of my favorite JP tunes - "Beyond The Realms Of Death". What a great title for a song! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 That one by Judas Priest that made that kid redecorate his palate with a bullet. Dunno what it was called but (seemingly) contained the words, "Do it!" It may actually have been called that. "Better By You, Better Than Me" is a song by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The song was originally performed by the band Spooky Tooth and written by its keyboardist Gary Wright. The song was the subject of the famous 1990 "subliminal message trial" in which Judas Priest was involved in a civil action that alleged they were responsible for the suicide attempts of two young men in Reno, Nevada. The mens' parents and their legal team, headed by Nevada attorney Ken McKenna, alleged that a subliminal message of "do it" had been included in the song. They alleged the command in the song triggered the suicide attempt. The suit was eventually dismissed. One of the defense witnesses, Dr Timothy E. Moore, wrote an article for Skeptical Inquirer chronicling the trial. Which makes me think of this: "Suicide Solution" is a song by Ozzy Osbourne. It is track five on the album Blizzard of Ozz released in 1980. Guitarist Randy Rhoads wrote the riff to the song (he had previously used the riff on the Quiet Riot track "Force of Habit"), and Bob Daisley wrote the lyrics. Ozzy Osbourne supposedly released this track as a tribute to Bon Scott of AC/DC who died of alcohol abuse. The song was very controversial following its release. On January 13, 1986, Osbourne was taken to court by the parents of John McCollum, a teenager who shot himself in the head while listening to this song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
