Songs That Are Banned:
"Rape Me," Nirvana
MTV never aired the video because they thought the song was trying to slag them off. At the 1993 MTV Music Awards, Nirvana were down to perform "Rape Me", but the camera crew were told that if this happened, they would cut to a commercial. Kurt Cobain started to play the chords to "Rape Me", but when he realised what was happening played "Lithium". This is why most casual Nirvana fans who think they've heard "Rape Me" have actually not; they've heard "Lithium".

"In Utero," Nirvana
Wal-Mart refused to stock this album because it didn't approve of "Rape Me" or the faetus dolls on the back cover.

Super Short Pop Songs:
"Tourette's," Nirvana - Length: 1:35
Credit Crunch got you down? Can't afford to go to Alton Towers? Listen to the epic last song on In Utero. This is the ride of your life from start to finish. It's like going into labour, and then giving up halfway through. One listen will haunt you. TRY IT OUT!

Hidden Tracks:
"Summertime," Nirvana
From the album Nevermind. As Agrimorfee clearly pointed out, this is a load of guitar noise. Well, the second part is anyway. The first part is in fact a derivative of "Lithium", in which Kurt Cobain forgets his guitar parts, and goes into a song with a big verse and a quieter, more melodic chorus. The verses match Agrimorfee's description, apart from that Kurt screaming random words takes centre stage. The chorus is more melodic; typical, perhaps, of Bleach, the band's first album. During the chorus, Kurt groans rather than sings. About 2:30 in, Agrimorfee's description takes shape. Kurt has had enough as he smashes his guitar all over the studio for the rest of the recording. A drumming solo from Dave Grohl concludes one of the best bonus tracks of all time.

Hidden Messages:
"Beanie Baby Songs, Volume 1," The Beatles
In the fade-out of this song from "Magical Mystery Tour", the Beatles sing "Baby, you're a rich man, baby, you're a rich man, baby you're a rich man, too." However, at the very end of the song, if you listen carefully, it sounds like they're singing "Baby, you're a rich fag, baby you're a rich fag, baby you're a rich fag Jew." This would be a reference to their manager, Brian Epstein, who was gay and Jewish.

"Song 2," Bob Dylan
Right at the start of the song, you can hear Bob farting!

"The Seventh Son," Lady Gaga
At the start of both "Eh Eh (There's Nothing Else I Can Say)" and "I Like It Rough", Lady Gaga and a synchronised male voice respectively will say "Cherry cherry boom boom". What this means I don't know from Adam.

"Rock And Roll, Part 2," Guns N' Roses
"This album contains language which some listeners may find objectionable. They can F?!* OFF and buy something from the New Age section." Absolutely classic.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Don't Trust Me" by 3Oh!3
The Lyrics:
She's an actress, but she ain't got no meat
Why:
Double negative. ("ain't no") And to the person who 'corrected' me on the Rush entry: The grammatical error may have been intentional, but it's still bad grammar. The purpose of this section of the site is to point out such instances, whether they're done on purpose or not.
