Parental Advisory! Another Look at the PMRC's "Dirty 15"

Page 3 of 3

Black Sabbath, "Trashed" Yes, this maybe a song about getting wasted, but how many other rock songs (and even country) talk about getting wasted but aren't on this list? Plenty.

W.A.S.P., "Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)": "Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)" is about masturbation with a little sadomasochism thrown in. I can totally see why the PMRC would want to ban this one.

Def Leppard, "High N Dry (Saturday Night)": Def Leppard's ode to getting high. But you know what other song is about drugs? "Light My Fire" by the Doors, "Gold Dust Woman" by Fleetwood Mac and countless others. But all those songs were released before the PMRC decided to combat music indecency.
