Well, actually she does have a few "dirty" words in some of her songs (as someone on this list learned when playing these songs around little kids!), but it's just kinda funny to hear her sing "motherfucker" - it's also in that Heatmiser song, cause it sounds so mean coming from someone as sweet as Mary Lou. rachel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Well, actually she does have a few >"dirty" words in some of her songs And it's unfortunately for this reason that I can no longer play my favorite song, Some Jingle Jangle Morning on my show anymore. Figuring it must be "clean for airplay" since they released it as a single, I got a quite irate program director calling me on the air chastising me about playing songs with lyrics that violate FCC broadcasting rules!
