So I’m not sure how many examples people can think of that fit this, but I thought it would be an interesting thread.
A few years back in an interview, Lady Gaga mentioned she was amused that only limited amount of radio stations realized what she was saying in the Poker Face post-chorus and censored it out. Despite what many people think, the post chorus actually goes “p-p-p-poker face-fuck-fuck-fuck her face,” which I never would have actually heard if Gaga herself didn’t point it out. I still hear the song being played uncensored all the time.
Another example is Adele’s Rolling in the Deep. When it came out some stations a line in the second chorus, believing it was “lay out your shit bare,” but many, including my stations, thought the word was “ship” and left it untouched. However, in the official liner notes, the line is written with “shit” (at least I believe so — if that’s not the case I’m pretty sure she confirmed the intent of the line at some other point).
What are some other examples of people sneaking swear words under the radar?
