Inappropriate Song Lyrics:

"A Company Of Cowards"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Remember George at Valley Forge made the British boys behave.
Why They're Inappropriate:
Valley Forge was the site of a training camp, where American Revolutionary War forces under General George Washington trained and weathered the harsh winter of 1777-1778. It was not a battleground. American forces had no encounters with the British forces there. The next battles in which they would engage with British troops occurred after they left Valley Forge in the warmer months of 1778. So it was only then (and not while at Valley Forge) that their opportunities to "make the British boys behave" came.

Song Lyrics That Name Check Celebrities:

"A Company Of Cowards"
The Lyrics:
Remember George at Valley Forge made the British boys behave.
Who They Mention:
Clearly a reference to George Washington, despite the historical inaccuracy of the line (Valley Forge was a training camp, not a battlefield. The American troops under Washington had no encounters there with British forces, hence no opportunity there to "make the British boys behave".).
