uses the c word in one of his tracks, which I wasn't expecting.

okay... maybe not.

and thought: Ben Folds. The way he does it always seems completely out of place, not talking about the covers either.

So so weird, unexpected, and shit.

She came home for Christmas by Mew
The last line in the song is "Don't touch her there when he fucks her." I think it sounds even weirder because of the singers accent, those crazy Danes.
One of the more beautiful songs written about rape though.

Max Bemis does drop the f-bomb quite a bit but i think because the music is so poppy it always comes as a bit of a shock

Guy swears in his songs is a bit of a shock to me - maybe it's his soothing baritone eloquence luring you into a false sense of security and then BAM! "we pissed in their champange".

It might sounds stupid, but "Pissing in the Wind" by BDB has a bit of a shocker for an opening line...

RB

....suprised.

a girl in the crowd seemed very shocked that they swore, she gasped very loudly.

"Will you be my fucking boyfriend?"

... and sung in such dulcet tones, too.

especially on Life Pursuit. Really well placed.

But I also think on that new Linkin Park album caught me out too - I remember them saying years ago that they wouldn't swear on one of thier tracks...

A totally unwelcome surprise, it really really upset me.

She's so sweet and angelic then she lets rip with "Fuck you, No way!". One of the best moments in pop, ever!

Alanis Morisette

don't ask me how I know this has a swear-word in it

bored stiff. while the swearing is not unexpected, the manner of it certainly is.

where he completely unexpectedly says "The cunt sits at his bed"

You're like "What?!"

its a sweary album but "or should we kick its cunt in?" is still a bit surprising

any friends who are listening are completely shocked by the 'Don't Marry Her... Fuck me' chorus, since they're all so used to the radio version ('Have me'). My Dad used to play the album in the car all the time though, despite my then innocent age.

Also, same song - 'She'll grab your sweaty bollocks'. Anyone know what that becomes in the radio edit?

on Cock/10 by Aphex Twin, I'm always taken by surprise when someone screams "COME ON YOU CUNTS LETS HAVE SOME APHEX ACID".

Although, all things considered, it's probably the right thing to shout out, given the circumstances.

lovely finger picking and melancholy break up lyrics, then:
"we can mourn its passing then bury it in snow...or should we kick it's cunt in"

nick cave - green eyes

he gets through an entire album of quiet melancholy without swearing then double fucks it right at the end

snow patrol song, off the 'songs for polar bears' album. cant remember the song name.

by Vampire Weekend I don't think the word "fuck" has ever sounded so jolly.

and getting it on with the hangman's daughter
She needs release
She needs to feel at peace with her father, the fucking maniac

"Self help, self pain,
EST, psychics, fuck all"

Sounds like its trying to be subtle, but kind of sticks out.

by the lovely, late and very missed Matthew Jay.

"Three more inches of hair
is a whole fucking world
of rebellion..."

Beautiful song, too.

Who'd like to see me down on my fucking knees

Radiohead - Talk Show Host

"You want me? Fucking well come and find me"

*unexpected swearing in threads*

Perhaps not unexpected but probably the best swearing is when the male/female section repeats the line:

'Referee giving us fuck all'

the james blunt song got me too. heard the radio friendly version so many times, the first time i heard the original edit, i almost choked on my beer (pub juke box was playing it). He really pronounces it in the song too.

weird.

you ever think swearing is unexpected but cool sounding? i love the bit in mammoth by interpol where he swears. have no idea why.

also (although its not unexpected at all, what with being a cover) the bit wear Zack says bullshit in how i could just kill a man.

I'm no fucking buddhist, but this is enlightenment.

"You see that Jesus is a cunt and never helped you with a thing that you do, or you done"

Cheers Shaun....

The angels would look down, but you're too fucking tall.

now that it's over - everclear

the bit in the chalet lines where he sings

"I missed my time, I don't think I could stand
To take the test, I'm feeling sick
Fuck this, I've felt like this for a week
I'd put a knife right into his eyes"

a very sad song, mind :(

Beautiful song, then this comes out: "we were....we were gonna fuck each other one way or another"

Sam Beam said a swear! :D
