Do any of you remember the famous ROLLING STONE BOOK OF LISTS?

 

It had some very clever and enlightening lists in it...

 

I think my favorite was "Songs we can't believe made it past the censors".

 

I can't recall what these songs were. Do you remember?

 

Another list I thought was funny is "List of the most boring acts of the rock era".

 

Remember those, too?

Not sure about Rolling Stone - but I do remember an old interview with Steven Tyler talking about how some censorship group listed Aerosmith as having lyrics that were inoffensive. Tyler said "I guess they didn't know what the line 'you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on the muffin' meant..."

I had that song on 45 in '77. I was 10 years old. I remember the lyrics -or at least those that I could understand- but I never caught any of their meaning. It was just a bunch of stuff you say in a song to make it sound cool. It didn't have any meaning.

What about Grease? The song Greased Lightning has the lyrics:

 

You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning

 

and

 

With new pistons, plugs, and shocks I can get off my rocks

You know that I ain't bragging she's a real {censored} wagon

Grease lightning

 

My wife remembers singing it in grade school or middle school chorus and it did get some airplay though other songs from the soundtrack were more prevalent. :D
