There is one spot on the CalPOP album “best record in the world” part 1 where Lynn Tracy says “If you pull a knife on a mother#ucker you better be prepared to use it” on the track “TAKE IT LIKE A MAN” when he is talking to the Devil – this is the only bad word on the record. It’s actually hard to find that version…and I agree that CalPOP album really doesn’t have explicit lyrics – but weird lyrics — and the whole thing is similar to THE WALL by Pink Floyd..

Am I the only one in the world that likes the CalPOP album?
It was marked explicit but I don’t hear anything bad on it..it’s just crazy.

The weird thing is that I cannot find any curse words in “The Sweet Escape.” I thought maybe it was labelled Explicit due to other songs on the album, but iTunes also offers a Clean version of the song. I have listened to the Explicit version and checked the lyrics online but I can’t find any objectionable words… Why would they offer a “clean” version of a song with no curses?

Hey the only reasons so many songs are “EXPLICIT” is because most of those songs are Rap. Who ever heard of a rap song without any curses. And relax, music is music. You listen to Led Zeppelin and Guns and Roses and let the teenagers have their fun listening to their music.

Very interesting post. No idea how you found this stuff out, but I’m impressed…with the post, certainly not the Top 10 list! ;o)

what about over-censorship, so fairly innocent songs end up marked with the explicit tag..?

Can’t agree with you more on this issue. Whatever happened to the great inuendos that AC/DC and others perfected so well? It takes a lot more talent to come up with a clever inuendo.
