Not that we're the sort of site that likes to dwell on crap like this... (oh, who are we kidding, sure we do.)

When Ass is A**

theajaysharma — Tue, 23 Nov 1999 18:00:00 +0000

Groove Armada are being forced to re-record their single, I See You Baby for America because they use the word "ass". The lyrics are along these lines:

I see you baby /
shakin' that ass /
shakin' that ass /
now don't touch me

They are replacing the offensive word with "thing" but I don't expect it to have the same effect.

This track is a favorite for Fatboy Slim as it was used regularly in his live DJ set.

The two want to settle down to a "normal family life." This from a man who used to snort cocaine off the train tracks behind his house. Hrrrrm...
