Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

R to PG the funny way

I remember George Michael came out with I Want Your Sex. Boy did the radio channels catch flack for that and they had to reissue it packaged as "love". In consideration of that, friends and I thought of Guns and Roses putting out many songs with [EXPLICIT LYRICS] -- even before the label. Perhaps the funniest song with the dub over of "love" or "luv" would probably be It's So Easy. That being the case, there is the two versions of 2 Live Crew's As Nasty as They Wanna Be, Me So Horny. They released "... Appetite for love". That was even more comical than their intended candid rudeness in their original song.

I don't find lyrical works that try the shock-value card to be to my liking now. Eninem and others who can't manage to speak without guttural slurs flowing forth, make for a poor conversationalist as well as a poor character. Themes of rape, drugs, violence ... hmmm ... nothing else. If you have only hate ... then that's all you have.

Here's a great little idea ... replace the sick dialogue from South Park with a new, "clean" dialogue.
