lyrics offensiveness

Everything below the cut is a query about how offensive some song lyrics are. Click or no, it's up to you.

EDIT: Want context? Check my initial comment.

A friend found this modern re-enactment of the third song on youtube. It's notable for being an actual family of men, and for a slavish devotion to the original blocking and camera angles. Also, Cheryl explained the story context for it better than I did.

... this leads me to hunt youtube versions of the other songs: It Depends on What You Pay, A Difficult Transition

Great Big Stuff!

(fooled some of you with that title, didn't I?)

I'm listening to "Great Big Stuff" from the musical of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" on the radio ( www.wers.org ). It always gives me the giggles when broadcasts bleep this song, because the lyric "the fashion plate I date'll give me hummers in my Hummer" always becomes "... ******s in my Hummer".

... *gasp* They didn't bleep it! They bleeped "shit" in the next verse instead. ZOMG!
