Dan T. Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Fox News commentators were outraged that rapper Common was invited to the White House because of a song lyric they quoted from him. Many ES'ers agreed. As a public service, let's compile a list of artists who should be banned from the White House because of a lyric they wrote. List the artist, the lyric and the song.

bushwack Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Lee Greenwood. Just on the grounds of taste. The sad part with Greenwood is he's a complete moron and he's brainwashing his kid. I was interning at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk last summer when Sarah Palin's tour came to town, which also featured Oliver North, George Allen, and Lee Greenwood. After Greenwood rehearsed his song for the 10th damn time, I kid you not, I happened to be walking by the dressing room walkway when Greenwood was walking with his son to his dressing room and they passed Oliver North's dressing room and Lee pointed to his son and said "That's the great American hero I was telling you about." I wanted to stop his kid and give him the facts, but I also wanted to keep my job so I just shook my head and kept walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Grateful Dead: I just jumped the watchman right outside the fence Took his rings, four buck in change, ain't that heaven sent Hurts my ears to listen, burns my eyes to see. Cut down a man in cold blood, might as well be me. - from Jack Straw ---------- Post added May-18th-2011 at 01:48 PM ---------- OK, some of these are just too easy. Bad boy country stars. Rebellious rock n rollers. How about these sexually suggestive lyrics? I think it's rap: The crowd was tappin' and a-clappin' as the music played His heart was right in time with every little move she made Though he was shy she took his hand and said "don't be afraid" "let's do the wang dang taffy-apple tango mambo cha cha cha (nice and slow?) i don't know Ooh la la la la la la la Leave it to Snoop Dogg to call sex the "wang dang taffy-apple tango mamba." Or Pat Boone. Keep him and his white shoes out of the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think the Dead's issue go a little bit beyond their lyrics. Remember when James Watt banned the Beach Boys? Am I too old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulane Skins Fan Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Charlie Daniels... that guy actually plays with the Devil! Don't forget white rapper eminem who has killed about 15 of his wives. Question: Are we limiting "artists" to musicians, or any artists? Movie stars? Angelina Jolie is a secret agent from Russia... probably shouldn't be invited to the white house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
