The Filthy Fifteen

The songs Tipper Gore doesn't want you to hear.

In 1985, Al Gore's wife was fucking pissed to hear vulgar rumblings coming out of her teenager's radio. Because she's white, rich, and the wife of a politician, she decided to fucking do something about it and censor/restrict music from young hears. She tangled with Frank Zappa, Dee Snider, and fucking John Denver and, shockingly, basically won with the introduction of:
Of course this symbol only made teenagers want certain records more but......Wal-mart at least stuck by Tipper editing out offensive language 26 years later. Oh well, let's hear the famous filthy fifteen that really got Tipper's panties in a twist.

15. Cyndi Lauper She-Bop
Weird seeing Cyndi Lauper before she became a washed up has been. The song is actually really enjoyable and full of sexual indoindos, so I can see why Tipper wasn't down with it. Lol, she wasn't bopping to it.
Banned For: Sex, Masturbation

14. Venom Possessed
Oh Venom, that fantastic British metal band that pioneered Black Metal, where would the would be without you? The song is accused of being about the Occult, which I guess is true, but isn't Satan and demons part of Christianity, so why should talking about them be wrong. Well I guess if Venom talked about how much Satan sucks Tipper would let them slide. Regardless the song is awesome.
Banned For: Occult

13. Mary Jane Girls In My House
Never head of Mary Jane Girls, but I can see why Tipper hates these sexy vixens. The song is essentially about a chick inviting her man to come over for sex whenever he needs it. Sounds pretty awesome to me.
Banned For: Sex

12. Black Sabbath Trashed
First off the groups name is Black Sabbath, probably enough to piss off Tipper. Than the song in question has swearing, hard drinking, drinking and driving, drugs, possibly kidnapping a trashed girl, and fantastic guitar work. Great tune.
For: Drug and Alcohol Use

11. Mercyful Fate Into The Coven
Wow the musicianship of these guys is simply incredible. Another Heavy Metal band that should be proud to grace this list.
Banned For: Occult

10. Def Leppard High 'n Dry
Lol in the first line you can see why this song got banned. Wonder what Tipper though of "Pour Some Sugar on Me"?
Banned For: Drug and Alchol Use

9. W.A.S.P. Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)
Kind of surprised this song only made it to #9 on the list, but it probably got put on here just for the title of the song. Tipper's drones probably didn't bother with actually listening to the song.
Banned For: Sex

8. Madonna Dress You Up
Naughty, naughty sex crazed Madonna, where would this list be without you. Not particularly into this song, and I wish Madonna looked a lot sexier in the video. Bet Tipper's daughter loved the shit out of this song.
Banned For: Sex

7. Twisted Sister We're Not Gonna Take It
Why the fuck is this song on the list, especially this high. Sure the video has mild violence slapstick violence but the song doesn't really mention any violence whatsoever. They say "we'll fight" a few times but that doesn't necessarily mean physically, the songs more about rebelling against adult hypocrisy and expectation. But I guess the PMRC didn't like a youth anthem about rebelling against your parents.
Banned For: Violence

6. AC/DC Let Me Put My Love Into You
Anyone who's ever listened to AC/DC knows they love three things, Rock N' Roll, women, and booze. They were doomed to appear on this list. Guess this track's title made it an easier target than "Shook Me All Night Long". Who did Al ever think Tipper was sexy.
Banned For: Sex

5. Motley Crue Bastard
Three points here. 1. Motley Crue have not aged well. 2. I wish I could have gone to the US Festival. 3. Tipper no like kick ass metal songs called Bastard.
Banned For: Violence

4. Vanity Strap on Robbie Baby
Lol, this song is just dripping with sex; love the whip noises in the background. Never heard of this group before but I'm digging it.
Banned For: Sex

3. Judas Priest Eat Me Alive
The mighty Priest beats out all the other metal bands and is two away from #1 on our filthy list, give yourselves a pat on the back boys. Tipper feels this song is explicitly about sex, but the dude who compiled this Youtube video was thinking more along the lines of zombies. Great song either way.
Banned For: Sex

2. Sheena Easton Sugar Walls
Wow this song is dirty. Excellant work Sheena.
Banned For: Sex

1. Prince Darling Nikki
The Purple One takes #1, with this dirty 80s classic. The opening verse of the song is so explicit and blunt it's no wonder it landed at the top. Doubtful Tipper enjoyed hearing "sex fiend" "masturbating to a magazine" and "grind" all in the first 50 seconds of this song. Rock on Prince.
