Who is most *&#$@%
A friend burned a Ween CD for me (lyrics from "Baby Bitch").
I just bought NWA Straight Outta Compton (lyrics from FTP) again, I have no idea where the last one went.
Who swears the most? And who gets the most effect for their swearing dollar/shekel/zloty?
Lyrics NSFW, but you knew that.

I don't know about most effect, but the song "I'd Rather Fuck You", ALSO (according to this) by NWA (see, I always thought it was just Eazy-E. Live and learn, yes?) occupies a peculiar spot in my mind. Someone put it on a mix tape for me a few years back and it is just appalling, much more so than the lyrics on paper would seem. It is just a nasty, slimy piece of garbage with NO redeeming qualities whatsoever, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT IS A VERY GOOD SONG. Honest. Hear it once, sing it forever, feel deeply conflicted and grossed out. Infect others with it and then sing it together on car trips or at parties. Or maybe that is just me. Still, when that one comes up on ye olde walkman when I am on the subway I always giggle and hope that the bleedthrough is not loud enough for anyone else to hear.

My favorite silly swearing is in Jeru The Damaja's The Bullshit.
-
But if you want to count just plain dirty, you can't go wrong with Momus (4th song down the page).
-
I used to love it when they played Eminem's "Stan" on MTV, because the censors must have cut out a good third of the song. And my favourite swearing song will always be Dennis Leary's "Asshole".
-
Ha ha, I had forgotten about "I'm an asshole". God, I must have heard that a thousand times up and down the dorm hallways in college.
-
And my favourite swearing song will always be Dennis Leary's "Asshole". That's up there, and for variety's sake, I would add Pansy Division's "Bunnies" and King Missle's "Detachable Penis"--the latter which isn't so much full of bad language as to be completely, wonderfully bizarre and subversively profane.
