The underground vernacular was already alive and well back then.

As for faggot, my music students roll hysterically on the floor when it comes to instruments of the orchestra, as that is what bassoon is in German. Are they going to outlaw bassoons now? (I could imagine some thinking that wouldn't be half bad...)

I don't remember hearing the full song on commercial radio (in NZ) anyway.

The whole "See that little faggot" verse is gone completely.

Damn Canadians. Maple Sucking Puck Slappers, the lot of them, eh?

I heard a standup comedian on the radio around Xmas time, doing a track called "PC Xmas". In it he mentioned that Santa said, "Lady of the Night, Lady of the Night, Lady of the Night."
