If Money For Nothing, Then Here Are Others

Above is what one person saw in Saudi Arabia as the album cover to Mariah Carey's hits compilation (hits being a relative term). The one on the left shows her own legs, the one on the right shows her with some galatical sheen pants which not only glow in the dark, but would make great skidoo pants too.

Anyway, if the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council decide to root out the f word as they did with Dire Straits, here are some 24 other tunes which should immediately be removed from the airwaves.

1. Scissor Sisters -- Step Aside For The Man (f word in the lyrics)
2. Lilly Allen -- f word Hag
3. Pogues -- Fairytale Of New York (you scumbag you maggot you cheap lousy f word)
4. Korn -- f word
5. Dire Straits -- Money For Nothing (oops, that one was done already, wasn't it?)
6. Mindless Self Indulgence -- f word
7. Me'shell Ndegeocello -- Leviticus f word
8. Amy Ray (Indigo Girls) -- Rural f word
9. Gil Scott-Heron -- The Subject Was f word
10. Brian Jonestown Massacre -- Automatic f word For The People
11. Jewel -- Pieces Of You (f word in the lyrics)
12. Eminem -- Quitter (f word in the lyrics)
13. Orgy -- f word
14. Marilyn Manson -- Better Of Two Evils (f word in the lyrics)
15. Pansy Division -- c word sucking f word
16. Broken Social Scene -- I'm Still Your f word
17. Leon Russell -- Don't You Wish You Had A f word
18. Tori Amos -- Taxi Ride (f word in the lyrics)
19. Steppenwolf -- f word
20. Placebo -- Slackerbitch (f word in the lyrics)
21. Crystal Castles -- Black f word
22. Xiu Xiu -- f word Patrol
23. Belle And Sebastian -- Rhoda (f word in the lyrics)
24. Patty Griffin -- Tony (f word in the lyrics)

This does not include many hip-hop or rap songs, in which case I would need a lot more bandwith and perhaps two or three typists to assist me. As it stands now, Dire Straits is not alone in using the word, but they just happen to be the ones being selected as the poster boys for it.

Which makes one wonder, Dire Straits also has a song called Les Boys, the lyrics being: "Les boys do cabaret/Les boys are glad to be gay...." Surely this has to be the next song on the list to be censored, doesn't it?
