Re: Albums that have been edited to be more sensitive
31I get it but wasn't "Killing an Arab" a literary reference?
We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.
Yes, the entire song was literally written and sung in the character from The Stranger by Albert Camus.
I largely agree, but I can also see not wanting to sing that word, not wanting to hear the crowd singing along with it, and *really* not wanting to hear the elements that sing that one word as loudly as possible.zorg wrote: Mon Jul 01, 2024 10:42 amThat's a bit daft...that line was so obviously spoken in character as a ignorant dockworker type. I'm always surprised that the Stones managed to grandfather in Brown Sugar. That's such a crude piss take. Can't deny the groove though.Wood Goblin wrote: Mon Jul 01, 2024 8:50 am Not sure how it appears on the record, but Dire Straits dropped the homophobic slur in “Money for Nothing” from live performances pretty early on. It doesn’t appear in the version you hear on the radio, though it definitely did in the 80s.

the song's popularity has often overshadowed its provocative lyrics, which explore a number of controversial subjects, including slavery, interracial sex, cunnilingus, and drug use.
Drug use? Like "brown"...no I think they're confusing it with Mr. Brownstone. If there was ever a song devoid of subtext, Brown Sugar would be it. Tongue in cheek, and self-aware yes, but no need to read between the lines here.kokorodoko wrote: Mon Jul 01, 2024 1:31 pmYeah but also, oddest wikipedia description:enframed wrote: Mon Jul 01, 2024 11:08 amCompletely fucked.Wood Goblin wrote: Mon Jul 01, 2024 10:58 am The lyrics of “Brown Sugar” are really shocking, just totally fucked.

I missed this, but knew what the word would be since it catches so many US artists out (see also Lizzo recently): in the UK 'sp*z' is an offensive term for people with cerebral palsy, so if you want a global audience take care.zorg wrote: Mon Jul 01, 2024 6:06 am I think a recent example is Beyonce saying retarded or something, and they changed that.
That's a shame, I love the word spaz. Last time I heard anyone use it, besides my wife calling me one, is the A.R.E Weapons track "Don't be Scared."pldms wrote: Mon Jul 01, 2024 2:48 pmI missed this, but knew what the word would be since it catches so many US artists out (see also Lizzo recently): in the UK 'sp*z' is an offensive term for people with cerebral palsy, so if you want a global audience take care.zorg wrote: Mon Jul 01, 2024 6:06 am I think a recent example is Beyonce saying retarded or something, and they changed that.
