What a revolting development!

A trio of interesting lists for you, starting with:

5 “Dirty” Things You Didn’t Know About The Beatles

Not to sound to brainy or anything (as if that’s possible!), but I always had a feeling -now confirmed!- about the first item on this list.  Way back in their very early years, The Beatles made a German version of the song “She Loves You” entitled “Sie Liebt Dich”, presented below…

Anyway, when I first heard the song I couldn’t help but notice how similar the main verse sounds like something…well…naughty and I wondered if The Beatles were slyly making a *ahem* joke with this song.  Based on what’s written in the link above, the lads deliberately mispronouncing those lyrics so that it sounds like…well, use your imagination.

27 of the Most Offensive Band Names Ever

There are some real funny ones there I had never heard of (John Cougar Concentration Camp?!) with two that are fairly well known, The Butthole Surfers, whose biggest hit was…

And a band with a decidedly out there name who made, IMHO, some great punk songs, The Dead Kennedys…

25 Movies That Were Originally Slapped with an NC-17 Rating

Not too surprising to find several of the ones listed.  They did forget one prominent one, though: the original 1987 Robocop was originally slapped, I believe, with an “X” rating (NC-17 didn’t exist then) and the makers of the film had to trim down some of the violence, particularly during the messy boardroom presentation of the ED 209 (where the robot kills a board member and, removed from the film for its theatrical release, continues firing at his dead body) and Officer Murphy’s (Peter Weller) death scene (it went on longer and was more graphic) to get an R rating.

I believe those scenes were re-inserted into the film since then and most video releases now have them.
