Ive got away with 'fart' several times. A Jake Thackray song about his
dog for example, and several 'buggers'. 'Another bugger from
Yorkshire', a Lancastrian song, and no end of 'bloodys'. In the context
of lyrics it's acceptable, but I wouldn't use any of that language
during presentation.
It now seems trendy to get the f*** word into lyrics, and the BBC
doesn't seem to mind playing 'em late at night. But any snog with an ef
word innit gets binned by me straight away. Not necessary.
