i also have a rule against swearing in a song...
nothing overtly sexual, either.
but that's me.
i find many words in english to be ugly, such as "chores"

Words are often only ugly in the context of how they are spoken. For instance - if a South African were to read aloud the 23rd Psalm - it would sound like somebody choking on a rat. However, James Earl Jones or Richard Burton could describe in great detail the treatment of their penile warts - and people would pay to listen. And Cameron Diaz, even when she's saying "
My God, how did you get my number, I'm calling the police right now...", still sounds sexy.
EDIT:
I am in no way implying that James Earl Jones or Richard Burton have ever suffered from penile warts. Maybe they have, maybe they haven't - it's not something we've discussed

So many things are possible to say because English is the way it is. It's just hard to do so.

So is anyone else thinking the same thing I'm thinking? I'm thinking I'm going to write a song using every single one of JB's banned words list. Gimme those titles, man, I'm on it. Oh wait, I'm out of town.

It was never a question of "if" but rather of "who". Heh.

Because I was making a list of words I couldn't avoid the Futurama reference. Feel free to replace 'Pimpmobile' with 'Spivak', which is a class of gender-neutral pronouns.
I'm pretty sure Front used Spivak in 'I Heart Fags.'
Oh and just in case
if someone already said as much.

Welsh is a far friendlier language! Try putting this into a song...

I think he meant to say "No songs should use the word
snooter"

no,
when I was younger and poor (and a stoner) we had a meaning for queef
queef: bottom bargain food from grocery store such as potted meat, crackers, bologna, off brand hot dogs on wheat bread, etc...
LA queef: Tuna, potato chips, frozen burritos, frozen pizza, anything from frozen section of grocery store really, etc...
La queef del fuego: Doritos, Deli sandwiches, brownies, anything that was slightly better than just plain La queef...right up to waffle house or diner food.
Sometimes, all we had was queef...if we pooled our money we could get La Queef...but...paydays we splurged and got ourselves some La Queef Del Fuego. Good times.

Queef should DEFINITELY NOT be used in a song then.
I can only dream of what a pooter is.... ok, I can't. Feel free to not set me straight on it's meaning. I 'll just take JB's post as is now!!!!

This does put a whole new spin on eating queef though.
