If we restrict the words we're allowed to use in songs, then we restrict the range of emotions that songs can convey. As an Australian I think this thread's been fascinating. It's given me a lot of insight into language useage and how it differs in the US from my local experience. "Ass" is another word for donkey or mule here and to call someone a "silly ass" is almost an affectionate term! Ultimately, I agree with Steve Cooke and I confess I'm no fan of censorship. But you've all managed to answer some questions I've had about what to do with an upcoming cd and I know I'll be leaving a track off the US release - it's not appropriate to the market I'm targetting. If US punters want to hear me make the air blue they'll have to buy the AU/UK/EU release Thanks folks! Btw, I think "keister" is one of the most gorgeous words in the english language, always makes me think of the fellow in "24", what's his name???.... Oh yes, Keister Sutherland.
