Gwen Stefani – Edited

Today on the radio I hear this:

this my ta
this my ta

A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain’t no hollaback girl
I ain’t no hollaback girl

Ooooh ooooh
this my it
this my ta

Let me hear you say the ta is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
The sh is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Why? Just don’t play the song if you can’t really play it.

But we can listen to this and it’s ok?

O…that’s gonna be the sound
Girl when it’s goin’ down
Your body sayin’ O…
Don’t have to say my name
Girl I’m just glad you came
So you can say O…
In the morning O…
In the night
You sayin’ O…
Means I was hittin it right O…
You can’t be mad at me
I’m just aiming to please
Let me hear you scream O..

Dude. Even my 12 year old son knows what that song is talking about. But hearing the word ‘shit’ is more offensive?

While we’re at it, let’s just edit out every offensive part of every song. You Are My Sunshine, arguably one of the most frequently sung campfire and travel songs, talks about co-dependence, fanaticizing, veiled threats, food gluttony and the entire song is basically some type of schizophrenic episode. (Who is he pleading with to not take her away?) Yes, I’ve never liked the song just based on the tune and the repetition. But if we’re going to be editing, can’t we begin with songs that are annoying? Why Gwenny-Gwen-Gwen?
