I just read through this laughing my butt off! I don't know if some of the original posters are still around, but oh my god! I think that the thread got completely for and against, and that was just plain silly. I think it was a redundant, petty argument top just say 'turn the radio off'. DUH! Tell me something I don't know.
Anyways, I don't know if this song is in the states...since I live in Germany we have one 'American' station, and they play ten songs OVER and OVER. So, anyway, I've had it on this German station lately. There is this STUPID song that plays repeatedly, and I now turn it off everytime it comes on. For the faint of heart, don't read the lyrics...most German stations don't censor language: The chorus is basically this "The things I said, they don't mean shit now....Fuck you, you ho, I don't want you back" This is probably the DUMBEST song, I've ever heard, and the guy can't even sing!
For the record, public radio means available to everyone. I would NOT want my children at young ages to hear the 'messages' provided by these songs. While shopping at some stores, I've heard similar songs blasted on the radio, and I HAVE asked them to change the station. I was with my 10 and 6 year old cousins, and 'How many Licks?' was on.
I admit some of it is fun, but I don't buy it. Just my opinion...
