Sorry Sir Badger. Does that mean i have to wait even longer to have sex with you again now...?

[DevilsDuck]

Sir...? No way!

[a-moron]

Sir badgealot, that'll do for me. Took Brucie decades to get his title. Best wait for the bruises to heal 1st Stinton or else the wife will start asking questions.

Have you not found her bruises yet...?

[a-moron]

Wife jokes now Ben, next you'll be on the mum jokes. It was you who stole the Bob Monkhouse joke dossier wasn't it.
To be fair the amount of bruises that women has from drunken headers in high heels I'd be shocked if even the great Peter Falk would be able to pick out the injuries you inflicted upon her.

No. Your mum is lovely. Why would I want to joke about her?

[Wykey]

i think some of the words in the songs R1 play are farr worse

how 'the lazy song' gets no editing is beyond me...

Like the current number one for example, which apart from being a massive pile of unpleasantness, is about lap dancers, getting women drunk and taking advantage of them and oral sex.

The Pitbull one? Yeah, that song is very odd. When they kept saying he was creepy on the radio I didn't fully appreciate what they meant til I saw the video - he looks a bit like a sex pest.

I went in Tesco yesterday and they had one of the regional commercial stations playing over the tannoy and The Lazy Song was on. Turns out they literally just chop out all of the first half of the second verse - the "really nice sex" part. I was vaguely aware that the rhythm of the song felt wrong, and then I realised why - half a verse was missing. How they dealt with the "hand in my pants" and "frickin' king" bits I dunno...

[McGuinness-89]

I think the Black Eyed Peas song on the playlist at the moment has the line "Get up off my genitals". How that got through I'll never know.

[R94N]

Yeah it does. After hearing it the first time that's all I hear now.

[Nicola_Red]

Well, 'genitals' isn't a swear word, it's a medical term, and probably considered acceptable for kids to use. That said, it's still a weird line for a song, and it kinda makes me cringe every time I hear it.

[Travis Bickle]

But it isnt about the word though is it? The context is all wrong as is the wording of The Lazy Song. With the feel of The Lazy Song I can think that young kids would listen to that as a happy tune, then before you know it he is talking about great sex and his hand down his pants. There is no way that should be on daytime Radio 1.

[Nicola_Red]

I dunno. This is the same argument we had after the Sunshine Sheilas debate - whether it's about the word or the context. I always think with young kids it's the fear that they will just blindly start repeating a word or phrase without really understanding its meaning, and put adults in a difficult position trying to explain what it means and why they shouldn't use it. But I'm not sure what the right answer is.

I take your point, but with The Lazy Song it just seems blindingly obvious that that song should not be on the Radio 1 playlist un-edited. There is a song by Lily Allen which talks about a wet patch in the bed and giving head, and that is rightly edited, yet Bruno Mars can talk about great sex and his hands down his pants and that doesnt get censored.

Radio 1 needs to be consistent.

[Wykey]

Nicola - it's Jason Derulo I think - I remember hearing something about girl passing out and then him saying he's about to get blown.

It's not the worst thing in the world, it's just as Travis says, the context's sounds all wrong. It's weird, and a bit creepy.

I usually cringe when I see them. With all their genitaliness and what not. Genitals. Sounds like a sports brand after a while, got me a pair of them new genital max trainers. They're the dogs genitals.

I'm not sure why that is always seen as a difficult position to put adults into. That's the damn job for goodness sake! Of course it might not be comfortable, but its totally a reasonable thing to expect parents to do.

Regarding the daytime BBC Radio 1 playlist parents shouldnt be forced into that job. Of course it is the parents job to deal with it, but that doesn't justify Radio 1 unnecessarily putting them in that position.

Yudster, what do you think the editorial giudlines should be when playlisting tracks? Anything goes, and let the parents explain? There has to be a cut off point somewhere between what is acceptable for daytime listening and what isnt.

[Yudster]

Radio 1 has a target audience which starts at age 13. If I let my under 13 year old kids listen, yes, I think it is entirely my responsibility to make sure they don't respond badly to it.

I'm sure you are right about a cut off point for what is reasonable in the daytime, but realistically Radio 1 are catering for an audience which is pretty informed and worldly. And also, if even at that age you feel, as a parent, that the lyrics and content of records isn't what you want your kids hearing, then don't let them listen. Which of course is impossible, so personally I would try to give them a decent grounding before they get there, so that by the time they reach their teenage years they have enough sense to listen and hear without coming to the conclusion that the radio is telling them what to do...

[bmstinton93]

The Lazy Song pisses me off cause its a really good, happy songs and the bits about having really good sex aren't really needed so it puts a bit of a dampener on an otherwise brilliant song

Unfortunately I don't have the unedited show to hand at present but on one of the 2002 shows they played Dr Dre featuring Knoc-Turn'al's "Bad Intentions", if you've ever heard that song you'll know how filth laden that was, Radio 1 censored the words by blanking them out but with the music still playing, although the song no longer made any sense when I finally heard the proper version it'd didn't sound right oddly enough

If you repeat a word over and over again, it'll lose context and you'll eventually hear the sound without the brain being able to make sense of it.

It's quite a strange phenomenon.

[Wykey]

I wondered why I didn't notice anything about that Pitbull thing I usually stick radio 2 on or press snooze when this comes on

I must be just finding more things annoying than I used to, when that Kellis woman had a song entirely based around how much better than everyone else she was at giving tit wanks I think I thought it was funny.

You just typing that, I find amusing, never mind a whole song based on froothy boobies. I must be more immature than I thought.

I think it could be because back then that type of song was more of a novelty, now most songs have a sexual content, not that it bothers me much it's just the music that's gone down the shitter than puts me off, back when listening to the 2000-2002 shows when editing them the music was much more varied on Radio 1, now it seems to consists of a very limited playlist
