This is a question Controversial Beliefs

Some mugs still think the MMR injection gives children autism (it doesn't), while others are of the belief that we're ruled by billionaire lizard people. Tell us about views outside the mainstream which people go glassy eyed if you bang on about them (Your grandad's a racist - no need to tell us, thanks)

Ah, but EMF got swearing onto the radio at prime time.
EMF's Unbelievable was (and still is) one of the only songs to get prime time play with uncensored swearing -- that's got to be worth something.

Apparently, some people never get past "THIS IS BRILLIANT! IT'S GOT SWEARS IN IT!"

Oh do fuck off.
If you don't find it amusing that even when the slightest profanity is censored a song with a chorus of "What the fuck was that?!" gets airplay you're clearly up your own arse.

The joke may have worn a little thin over the last [I don't want to think how many] years.
I find it amusing that profanity is censored from anything on the radio, given that radio has no watershed (particularly when rap records are butchered beyond coherence). I also enjoyed the fuss that was made when someone said "fucking" during an episode of The Moral Maze.

Yeah
Pulp Fiction is a terrible film

"Due to the amount of air time that "Unbelievable" has received since its release, it may be responsible for the most profanity ever heard over radio. The constant background vocal during the chorus saying "What the fuck was that?" which even appears in the lyrics in the CD booklet, was never edited. This is possibly because the background vocal appears incoherently, and most people dismiss it as undecipherable lyrics. The song has also been used unedited in pre-watershed television adverts."

Precisely this ^^
Nothing to do with "Oh, it's got swears, teeheeehee". It's amusing because otherwise sanitised media like adverts use it.

Sorry, but no...
That accolade belongs to John Lennon for Hey Jude.

"awwwwwww.........fookin'ell!" halfway through the last verse before the "na-na-na-naaas"

A few more airings than EMfuckingF, I'll wager.

*edit* right after 'let her under your skin' in fact, around the 2'55 mark

Me, I'm not... is right
There's a bit repeated the whole way through that sounds like 'what the funk' but it's actually 'what the fuck'

Subversive

It sounded like funk because it was. Which is also why it isn't censored.
