Cursing and music have existed since...well...cursing and music.

I am of the opinion that any word can be grating if used as a lazy crutch. Honestly, how many times have you heard 'Baby' in a song.

Say what you will about John Lennon, we can all agree he was a pretty good songwriter. When I first read this form I immediately thought about 'Working Class Hero', as a classic that drops the ol' F bomb.

I think lazy writing is just lazy writing, no matter the lyrics used to get there.

One thing to keep everything in scope. There are seven credited songwriters for Beyonce's - Run the World (Girls)

C-sharp when you cross the street… or you’re going to B-flat.
