Why do artists have to go and ruin songs by swearing?

[Richie]

Hey guys,
I think it is realy dumb the way artists bring out a great song, but then go and ruin it by swearing, also its not just because that might fit in to the lyrics because nearly every song that comes out if it has swears theres always a clean version with the swear word changed too something else!

Why do they have to put swears in there songs i dont get it!?! its soo pointless why do they have to bring out a dirty version then a clean version, if they had any brains would they not just make a clean version so they wont have too waste there time!


I hope everyone see's my point and understands were im coming from!



So what are your thoughts on this? do you think its ridiculous and idiotic of the too make two versions when they only have too make one clean version

(I know they dont have to sing the whole song again, they just have to sing the part were it swears they have too sing but if they had a brain they would use it and decide to just make the clean version)


Post what you think


Thanks,
Richie.

How would the song F.U.R.B by Frankee sound in a clean version? Or the original by Eamon, **** It (I Dont Want You Back) sound??

Or some Eminem songs? Have you heard Stan (the original)? It sounds a lot better then the live one

Some songs do need swearing as it suits what they are singing about.

I disagree songs like *REMOVED* you right back should not be aloud to be released also im not talking about that i mean like in some songs theres swears that could easily be changed to a clean word but they dont bother and sing the clean and dirty version whats the point?

You could easily change Stan to a 'clean' version but it sounds crap thats why they swear.

I dont think that is true

Yeah, artists should totally censor themselves just so the radio version sounds better and so you don't have to hear a couple naughty words. -.-

in some songs, swearing can intensify the meaning of the song, and allow the listener some insight into what the artist was feeling while writing the song.
the only band that i dont like swearing are linkin park, they used to be able to encapsulate anger and whatnot without swearing, and then one mash up album with jay-z and their next album is full of it "/

Some songs NEED to swear to get their point across, an angry song needs angry lyrics for example.
