Wall of Mouths

Yes, all parents are advised to buy Therapy? albums, just like their kids.

I think the US SP-YF one did have a sticker, haven’t got the case here so I can’t check.

It’s a good thing for me!

Sometimes, HMV don’t sell me CDs with PA on it :(

Wasn’t it Nancy Reagan or some other presidents wife that founded a monitoring group concerning bad language in music? As far as I know it’s only albums released in the US that have those parental advisory bollocks stickers.

Alan, the organisation is called the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), and it was founded by Tipper Gore, wife of Al, and a couple of wives of other congressmen in 1985.

Megadeth wrote a song about it called ‘Hook In Mouth’, that’s why I know :-)

“Cockroach in the concrete with courthouse tan and beady eyes
A slouch with fallen arches, purging truths into great lies
A little man with a big eraser’s changing history
Procedures that he’s programmed to, and all he hears and sees
Altering the facts and figures, events and every issue
He can make a person disappear and no one will ever miss you

Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was
Eliminates incompetence and those who break the laws
Follow the instructions of the New Ways’ Evil Book of Rules
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools

You say you’ve got the answers, well who asked you anyway?
Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way?
Don’t try to fool us, we know the worst is yet to come
I believe my kingdom will come

F is for fighting, R is for red
Ancestors’ blood in battles they’ve shed
E, we elect them, E, we eject them
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
D, for your dying, O, your overture
M, they will cover your grave with manure
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me
As long as there’s a P.M.R.C.

F is for fighting, R is for red
Ancestors’ blood in battles they’ve shed
E, we elect them, E, we eject them
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
D, for your dying, O, your overture
M is for money and you know what that cures
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me
As long as there’s a P.M.R.C.

F is for fighting, R is for red
Ancestors’ blood in battles they’ve shed

This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me
As long as there’s a P.M.R.C.

Put your hand right up my shirt
Pull the strings that make me work
Jaws will part, words fall out
Like a fish with hook in mouth

Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was
Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws
Follow the instructions of the New Ways’ Evil Book of Rules
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools

I’m not a fish, I’m a man
Hook in Mouth”

Parental advisory was invented so kids would buy cds thinking there rebellious.

thats how limp bizkit sold a million albums

There’s also an entertaining film called Warniing Parental Advisory staring Dee Snider from Twisted Sister, that tells the story of the PMRC.

And in a tenuous T? link, the theme song from it is ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ by Twisted Sister which I have seen Andy dance to!

Megadeth rock! :cool:

oh GOD that is such a fucking excellent song, i aint heard it in years! Thanks! :)

*makes mental note to purchase “so far so good so what?” on ebay as soon as is humanly possible*

The PMRC makes me think of the Dead Kennedys’ song Moral Majority.

Wasn’t the PMRC invented to draw attention away from illegal wars such as in Iraq or am I just being naive?

Lets face it, those PA stickers became selling points rather than a warning. T? might have had them on their US releases, but then again, why did Shit Bizkit break big on the strength of those stickers.

The mind boggles, honestly.
