Cursing
Before I came over to America one of the big things that I was worried about was cursing. After all I curse a lot. Especially when I am in a social situation. I figured (correctly) that Mormons wouldn’t curse.
Instead of Damn they say Dang. And I think that’s the worst I heard coming out of a Mormon. Imagine my surprise when I heard that two of my mormon friends where fans of Sublime. The thing about sublime is that they aren’t exactly the most wholesome band going. They liberally use bad language in their songs and well… here’s the lyrics to the first verse of Wrong Way.
annie's 12 years old in two more she'll be a whore, nobody ever told her it's the wrong way. don't be afraid with the quickness you get laid for your family gets paid it's the wrong way.
What’s a bad language hating, good music loving Mormon to do. Why remove the bad language of course. And that’s exactly what one of them did. He also reorganized the album so that all the songs that had objectionable content like the above were removed from the album Sublime.
Apparently this was so well done you couldn’t tell the difference. It wasn’t. See for yourself. here are two mp3’s. The first is What I Got (The Mormon Remix), the second is What I Got (original).
Listen to the first one and tell me if you can see where the bad language has been removed. If you can post it in the comments.
