Recently I was rediscovering Rage Against the Machines seminal debut and thought, fuck - this is seventeen years old now. Then I thought fuck - I forgot how good this is. After that came a third thought - yes, three in a row - and guess how it started? Yep - fuck.

Surely everybody enjoys a good fuck or motherfucker when used effectively in a song? And by that, I mean not including general rap songs, comedy or crap metal or overly obvious ones...

I think Killing in the Name of still comes out on top, not least because of the sheer number of them. Surely the best use of the word in a song ever. Or is it?
So for artistic research I got to wondering what my favourite uses of it were in other songs that are great in their own right, but somehow enhanced just by virtue of an additional fuck.....

.....heres a few to start things off, in no particular order:

Neil Young - Fucking Up
Legend.

Prince - Pussy Control
(..."good morning ladies and gentlemen, boys and motherfucking girls..." which of course, whilst on the subject of Prince leads to...)

Prince - Sexy Motherfucker
(Top marks just for the sheer jaw-dropping cheek when it came out for a mainstream(ish) artist to stick it to 'the man' and call a song this, and have it be a top three hit no less. "In a word or two, its you I wanna do, no not your body, your mind, you fool....you sexy motherfucker")

Dinosaur Jnr - Freak Scene
(Its use in this song is subtle, which makes it even more enjoyable to let loose when it comes in.."so just dont let me fuck up will you, cos when I need a friend its still you...")

Zodiac Mindwarp - Fucked By Rock
(Who hasnt been? "Fucked by Rock...I like it" and the additional, "I gonna take all my money, and piss it up the wall....and stick it up my nose, stick it up my fucking nose")

Datsuns - MF from Hell
(she made me feel, like a motherfucker from hell, yeah)

Fight Like Apes - Jake Summers
(That scream, basically. Especially live)(special soft spot also for 'Digifucker')

Nine Inch Nails - Closer
(Something about the NIN that just feels so right with a good use of it in the middle. sadly blanked out on here though)
