Money: "Don't give me that do goody good bullsh*t."

Not Now John: "F**k all that we got to get on with this...."

Pigs (three different ones): "You f**ed up old hag. Ha ha charade you are..."

Maybe others too but that's all I can think of.

I can't really think of much swearing in prog other than those and the Spock's Beard example that you already mentioned. 

(swearing or just the words?)

And we left behind Frank Zappa?

Back in the day, when Guy Guden was on the air, in Santa Barbara, the FCC apparently had planted old folks to listen to the station and find as many 4 letter words as they could to fine the station and all that ... it was amusing, but to my knowledge it didn't make any difference, and the cops (etc etc etc) decided to go after the nudies in one beach! 

4 letter words? Didn't last ... but the rap think sure has kept it alive!

I suggest Jethro Tull's "Hunting Girl." 

Marillion: She Chameleon (Fugazi).. when it came out, I used to skip that track when my parents were in the vicinity; a difficult thing to do with a cassette...

Hi,

Radio Kaos has many of those kinda .... hidden. The robot, issues a few of them.

As I Am: 

"Still

Running uphill

Swimming against the current

I wish I weren't so f**ked"

Honor Thy Father:

"How can you ever sleep a wink at night

pretending that everything is alright

and have the balls to blame this sh*t on me;

Never in my life have I seen someone

so f**king blind to the damage he has done

you're the rotted root in the family tree"

Thanks for the reminder!  What a hilarious song!  

Someone mentioned an IQ song, is it Stay Down?

..and other parts of Scarsick 

Yep. That's usually the first song to come to mind for me also. Then there's also the line "don't do that do goody good bullsh*t" from "Money." I remember being somewhat taken aback when I first heard that as a 12 year old in 1982 or so(maybe 81- I don't remember). Anyway, that was before they bleeped swear words in songs and so it was the first time I ever heard a swear word in a song before. I was mostly listening to pop and top 40 before that.

Hi,

And not mention Irene Pappas having some fun? Has no words necessarily, but is there any doubt?

Hi,

The bleeping of the swear words had started around 1974 or 1975, when the FCC decided to go after the FM stations playing anything, and in some cases, many of these stations went for the words just to give the FCC a hard time. There were stories, around Santa Barbara that the FCC had hired old ladies to listen to a couple of stations and report any 4 letter words ... as I wrote before, that did not last long, and the next day the authorities in Santa Barbara went after the folks in the nudie beach in Summerland!

I think it was more obvious than anything that it was just a very stupid move by some "federal" authorities/groups, to try and maintain some kind of control ... didn't happen very well for a few more years until the Great America Radio Rape at the end of the 70's when all FM stations were bought out from their independent owners and turned into "classic rock" stations, which many of them still are today! This is the "moment" that folks think "progressive music" died, since it lost its very strong and far out ability to showcase so many new artists ... but, at least, for most of us, the music had already grown enough to be able to tell the FM radio to take a hike. Later the Internet, took over and told the FCC to get lost and then some!

...Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any f**king time, any f**king day
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay...

...f**k L. Ron Hubbard and
f**k all his clones
f**k all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes....

...f**k retro anything
f**k your tattoos
f**k all you junkies and
f**k your short memories...

...Yeah, f**k smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas
f**k these dysfunctional
Insecure actresses...

And then there's Swans - Sunf**ker

I noticed Nine Inch Nails are in Crossover Prog

In the songs Wish and Closer Trent sings about f**king (with the fist, or like an animal) with the lyrical depth of a 14 year old edgelord.

I finally bought SFAJT again and am listening to it now. This one stood out for me. He says "f***ing" at one point in this song. I don't remember any swearing in Fugazi but I suppose it's in there somewhere.
