Dirty Lyrics:

"Cum On Feel The Noize"

The Dirty Lyrics:

Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild!

Why They're Dirty:

These are the opening lyrics of one of the most memorable heavy metal songs of the 1980's. And the whole song is definitely 'dirty'! If people don't know what 'cum' is, they have no idea about the male body or even sex. Although, Quiet Riot popularized in the U.S. by taking the song to #5 (for several weeks) into the Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts in the winter of 1983 - 84 (near the end of December of 1983), the original version of the tune was by the Canadian hard rock band, Slade. This song was a pop hit when I was a junior in college at the University of South Florida, and it was difficult then NOT to know what it was about.
