I’d like to see them try and play Tim Minchin’s Pope song on the radio.
It’s a classic example of the swearing actually making a point despite it starting out as obviously crude.
The point is that some songs have a justified reason for the language whilst others just use it as a place filler or to cause outrage.
I do get annoyed though when films with swearing in have it edited out just to be able to show it on TV before the watershed. Just keep it unedited and run it after 9, grrr |

"If a song has swearing in but the words are edited out for radio ect.
Does that make the song less ?"
yes i dislike it when they edit out swearing.
I also have never had anyone adequately explain why certain words are swear words but others are fine.
For example why is Shit a swear word, but excrement is not. yet the latter is a far more horrible sounding word.
answers on a postcard...

"Depends how its edited out.
I’d rather they used a comedy horn to bleep words than use the audio jumbler so it sounds like its playing backwards!  "
You would love Monty Python’s “I bet you they won’t play this song on the radio” then…..

"Yes but some use their head and change the explicit for one that can be used on radio so it's not a void or weird sound replacing it"
I’m on the fence as to whether that’s better or worse for me.
If the artist is happy for the swear word to be removed/replaced to enable to it to be commercialised then does that make them a sellout for altering the artistic vision that required a swear word or wear they just originally placing swear words for impact/outrage?
I think I’d respect the artist more if they insisted it was needed and didn’t agree to swapping out for tamer lyrics 
Just a thought and like I say, I’m on the fence on that one |

Majority of the artists won't get a say in if it can be changed or not. Even in the cases they do have the final say, it will be heavily pushed upon them by marketing that it needs to be modified to allow for universal radio use. |

Yeah, I can imagine that actually. Didn’t think of it that way |

Not for me it doesn't no, as my 4 year old seems to have a great knack for knowing and singing the missing explicit words to the edited radio versions in my car!!  |

Most of "Bloody Well Right" by supertramp would have been censored. It was the B side of a single they released in the 70s. In the US, it was the side the listeners preferred (to the A side "Dreamer"). |

Wherever I lay my hat |
It drives me mad.... Everyone knows what the word(s) should be so if anything it is just drawing more attention to it by bleeping it out.
There are a couple of snogs that I would love to hear on the radio and bleeped to buggery.... I would pay to hear Super Furry Animals' The Man Don't Give a Fuck played at breakfast time! |

As teenagers, it was the song of choice on the pub juke box. |
