Offensive Rock and Roll Song Lyrics

Did you hear that Canada is banning a Dire Straits song from the radio because it contains the word "faggot"?

"Money for Nothing" came out 26 years ago and was a number one hit.  The word faggot was not used in a deragatory manner, it was used (imo) sarcastically to describe  Boy George or maybe a metal hair band (it was 1985).  You have to understand the song and the context it was used in.  Its a song about a working class guy  watching music videos and thinking, "these dudes have it made, I should have been a rock star..."

"See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup, Yeah buddy that’s his own hair. That little faggot got his own jet airplane. That little faggot he’s a millionaire."

I think its ridiculous to ban this song from the air.  If these lyrics are offensive what about all the other lyrics out there that are no longer politically correct in today's overly sensitive world?

Let's lists a list of all the "offensive" song lyrics we can think of.  (Please note - rock and roll type songs only, rap/hip hop doesn't count...which by the way they play on Canadian radio with the N word because that is not offensive.....?)

(I've heard Mark Knopfler was in an appliance store when he thought of this song, that's why the references to all the appliances, but I don't know if that's true).

Dire Straits

"Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk. If anything, the band was a direct outgrowth of the roots revivalism of pub rock, but where pub rock celebrated good times, Dire Straits were melancholy.

Led by guitarist/vocalist Mark Knopfler, the group built their sound upon the laid-back blues-rock of J.J. Cale, but they also had jazz and country inflections, occasionally dipping into the epic song structures of progressive rock. The band's music was offset by Knopfler's lyrics, which approximated the winding, stream-of-conscious narratives of Bob Dylan."
