A fuck shit stack of sweary songs

My last collection of sweary songs began with some vintage a cappella filth about cocksuckers. For balance, I’ll start this one with The Fourskins’ winning ditty ‘Her Vagina’ (most audio that follows is VNSFW):

Want ruder? Harry Roy and His Orchestra sang about ‘My Girl’s Pussy’ almost a century ago. Warning: this one has serious earworm potential:

(Comic artist R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders introduced me to the song.)

A lyric for our times: ‘Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole’ by Martha Wainwright:

And one from Jarvis Cocker: ‘[Cunts Are Still] Running the World’:

Or you could call them the world’s biggest pricks:

Lightening the mood, Kat McSnatch’s ‘You Are a Cunt’:

Little-known disco funk classic ‘The Girl Wants to Fuck’ by Blowfly, aka Clarence Henry Reid:

Garfunkel and Oates, in ‘The Loophole’, sing about ‘the sex that God can’t see’ (reminiscent of ‘Back Door Lover’ in Josie and the Pussycats):

Someone once suggested Reggie Watts’ parodic ‘Fuck Shit Stack’ as the Strong Language signature tune. We’re spoilt for choice, but this track has top swearing and metalinguistic asides:

If you’ve had your fill of work, here’s a chain-gang-style theme song by Dan Reeder:

‘Fuck You,’ croons Jamie Foxx:

‘Fuck Everything,’ raps Jon Lajoie, and he means everything:

Everyone, according to Steve Coogan, is a bit of a cunt sometimes:

We’re bastards and we’re gits, we’re wankers and we’re shits
But sometimes there is just one word that absolutely fits

Minty’s ‘Useless Man’, despite the name, is busy

boot-licking, piss-drinking, finger-frigging, tit-tweaking,
love-biting, arse-licking, shit-stabbing, motherfucking,
spunk-loving, ball-busting, cock-sucking, fist-fucking,
lip-smacking, thirst-quenching, cool-living, ever-giving

Flight of the Conchords’ ‘If You’re into It’ is not sweary at all, but it does escalate quickly and delightfully into indecency:

A sign language interpreter steals the show at this live rendition of ‘Eatin’ Pussy, Kickin’ Ass’ by Wheeler Walker, Jr. (I don’t know her name, sorry):

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ version of ‘Stagger Lee’ elevates swearing to a brutal art form:

For the last couple we’ll go vintage again. ‘Uncle Bud’ and ‘Deacon Jones’ by zydeco legend Boozoo Chavis:

And finally Butterbeans and Susie’s innuendo-filled ‘Elevator Papa, Switchboard Mama’:

Butterbeans: I put a nickel in your slot and it rained all night.
Susie: Well I’m not to blame, Butter, if you didn’t put it in right.

Thanks to readers who suggested a couple of the songs above, either on Twitter (we’re @stronglang) or in comments to my earlier compilation. We also featured sweary songs in posts about the Four Femmes, Explicit Bowie, and Flight of the Conchords.
