it's the first time - it's been bleeped every other time i've heard it on 
radio 2 in the daytime.
or maybe they are being adult - but that's daft of me as ofcom require 
everything in the daytime to be kiddy friendly regardless of target 
audience.

Well quite - the sanitised version is the one in the system, for obvious 
reasons, so maybe it was coming off CD or something.

Having said that, we've all heard that song so many thousands of times I'm 
amazed anyone noticed. If I heard it, I didn't,

Ditto. I hadn't realised that there was anything in that required bleeping.

I can never understand the point of artists putting expletives into tracks 
that they are intending to be singles. They know full well that they're 
going to have to be edited for airplay and it just ruins the flow of the 
song and lyric. In which case, why use expletives in them at all? Another 
recent case in point was one of Lily Allen's singles, completely ruined in 
single format by the bleeping.

Is it just me or is it kids these days just trying (and failing miserably) 
to be "shocking"? In which case they just come across as prats (ooh - a 
naughty word, how big of them!).

Until the 1990s very little material contained "explicit lyrics" and was 
none the worse for it. When it was used it was generally used to very good 
effect (e.g. John Lennon - Working Class Hero) and was far more biting and 
relevant. Then again, anyone under about 35 these days only knows one swear 
word and they tend to use it as a noun, verb, adverb and everything else. I 
guess the days of effective swearing, using a range of curses of different 
strength, have gone - perhaps that's why the only expression of complete 
frustration these days seems to be to assault someone or smash something?

I'll take you word for it. I didn't follow transvestites as closely as
you obviously did. :-)

I was trying to remember the first rude word I ever heard in a song
and I think it would have to be Time by David Bowie. My best mate had
saved his pocket money to buy Aladdin Sane and on the bus home we
devoured the double gate sleeve and avidly read the lyrics on the
inner sleeve. As mere 12 year olds we thought the use of the word
wanking in a song was a decadent as decadent could be.

Well, I recall seeing it in NME or something similar, and the song title was
after all kinda memorable!  And, I think you'll find that Wayne County wasn't
just a transvestite, he/she is a transsexual and now goes by the name of
Jayne County. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_County>

Probably the same for me.  Good album, that Aladdin Sane was, though when I
bought it my dad was somewhat outraged by the cover.

Yes, I saw her perform as Jayne some years back at a punk retro
festival in Blackpool, She was terrible!:-)

By what? The make up?
And what 'was' the stuff on his collar bone?

What was that you were saying about "I didn't follow transvestites as closely
as you obviously did"???   :-)

He was just outraged by the effeminate look (I must admit I wasn't too
comfortable with it either, to be honest).  I'm glad he never saw the inside
of the gatefold sleeve, though - he would probably have gone ballistic.  He
liked to shout "soap and scissors!" at scruffy hippy types as he passed them
in the car, in an attempt to frighten them.   He gave me a bit of a hard time
too, after I'd grown my hair to near shoulder length after leaving school.

> And what 'was' the stuff on his collar bone? 

I just assumed it was just a bit of photographic FX.

LOl, takes me back. BY 75/76 me and my mates were all growing our hair
and there used to be constant fights in our house at the end of every
school holiday as my mother would want me to have my haircut before
going back to school. I resisted vociferously obviously,  My dad, and
the dads of most of my mates were all prison officers and many ex army
and one mates dad even promised him he would buy him a moped if he got
it cut.

Of course, by early 77 punk was breaking big time and we suddenly
found ourselves with bands we were reading about in the music papers
and hearing on Peel;s show  were playing in our nearby town and the
inevitable happened. 10 of us cast off our flares, went into town one
Saturday and returned home with very short spiky haircuts, After 2
years of moaning about my hair, the first words out of my father's
mouth was: 'What the bloody hell have you done to your hair?'

Over the next few months, the various colours, the mohicans, the
earings and eyeliner nearly saw the lot of them in the coronary wards.

A sixth former tried to tell me and my mate that it was ejeculate.
Hey, I was 12, what did I know? :-)

Sadly, the nearest to punkdom I ever got was a T-shirt with the words "Oral
sex: a taste of things to come" written on it.  Oh yes, and I did once wear a
rather crumpled orange linen jacket with safety pins all through the lapels,
and even that was enough to get me thrown out of a pub in Brighton. 
Corblimey, I could 'ardly Adam and Eve it.
