We all love swearing right? Profanity in music has always been controversial, leading to bans on radio and television, which continue to this day. Remember those ludicrous parental advisory stickers in 80's America? On todays episode we choose 5 great tracks, going back as far as the 1930's to unpack this fascinating topic.
To gain full enjoyment of the show, make sure you check out the expletive riddled playlist, containing all the tracks and a whole lot more.
Oh yeah, go Fuck yourselves!
