A list that would also include songs like "You Dropped A Bomb On Me" which might make sense to remove for hyper-sensitive listeners, but the list also include other songs like "In The Air Of The Night" by Phil Collins seemingly because it has the word "air" in the title. And you know, you can't have airplanes without air... so shame on us I guess?As singer Serj Tankian explains: "Our single “Chop Suey!” was taken off the airwaves by Clear Channel along with thousands of other songs, with the intention of, I don’t know what, to be honest. “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was [taken] off. Any type of protest music, any type of the word “sky,” you know, “die,” “suicide.” It was just mind-numbing." - Tankian, The Fallout Over Clear Channel's Do-Not-Play List... Alison Stewart, The Washington Post (Oct 8, 2021) Guitarist Daron Malakian was not concerned, as he told an interviewer: “In music, that’s a badge of honour... So many great rock bands have been banned. It’s almost like you’re not part of the cool group if you’re not banned once or twice. I think it made the song more popular.” - Malakian, The Story Behind The Song, Dave Everley, Metal Hammer (Apr 1, 2021) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWeHVfhWSvU

A place that often gets glorified by stories of glam and fame in Hollywood. However, as local residents of the city, members of System of a Down have a more realistic perspective. As bassist Shavo Odadjian told MTV: "Everyone views Hollywood as a glamorous place with palm trees and movie stars, but when we were growing up all we saw were poverty, hookers and bad stuff. It's an evil town — a toxic city, which is how we got the name of our record." - Odadjian, System Of A Down's Schitzophrenia Aggravated On Toxicity, John Weiderhorn, MTV (Aug 13, 2001) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhVqIkaFW28

Streaming services like Spotify only host a remixed version of the song. "We actually got sued over this piece of shit. There was some sort of sample used in it that someone didn't get full clearance for, so we ended up getting into some serious trouble for a little while." - Borland, Wes Borland Q&A, Kerrang!, No. 1227, (Sep 2008) - referenced through wikipedia ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsf9xN0fTqU

Or the music video that was banned from MTV due to controversial imagery? What about the feud between front-man Fred Durst and legendary artist Trent Reznor? Stick around and we'll answer these questions and more on... 10 Things You Didn't Know About Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit 10 Fun Facts About Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit 1. Limpdependence Day The album was supposed to be called Limpdependence Day. However, this title was discarded when the band was unable to produce the album in time for a July 4th release date. (Independence Day clip) clip fred durst speech with independence day speech? 2. Sgt. Durst's Lonely Hot Dog Club Band While many people are aware of the double ententre meaning behind the Chocolate Starfish moniker, fewer are aware of the origin of the album title, or that it is an absolute reference to a popular Beatles album. "He (Durst) made up Chocolate Starfish and... I made up Hot Dog Flavored Water in a truck stop, when we were looking at those bottles of Crystal geyser flavored water. And they didn't have hot dog-flavored water or meat-flavored water... it was late at night and we were talking a bunch of garbage. And Chocolate Starfish obviously means an asshole... Fred calls himself Chocolate Starfish because people call him an asshole all the time. So it's like a band name... Kind of like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." - Wes Borland, Guitar World Presents Nu-metal, Brad Tolinski, Pg 104 (Apr 28, 2002) (Apu: "I'm sgt pepper's lonely heart club band!") 3. Shameless Self Promotion Durst references the album title in three songs: "Livin It Up," "Hot Dog," and "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" "Livin' It Up", where he declares that "The chocolate starfish is my man Fred Durst" (Wes Borland has stated in an interview when questioned on the naming of the album that "Fred calls himself Chocolate Starfish, because people call him an asshole all the time"[7]), "Hot Dog", where he tells his detractors to "Kiss my starfish, my chocolate starfish," and "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" where he mentions "Chocolate Starfish" in the introduction. 4. 46 Fs The f word is used 46 times in the song "Hot Dog." Which kind of reminds me of the time South Park aired a Season 5 episode in 2001 where the word "shit" was uttered over 150 times. By the end of the episode, the word had lost all of it's edge and meaning. Oddly enough, producers at Comedy Central were against the idea of the S word being mentioned a few times but when Trey Parker and Matt Stone decided to up the ante to 150, the producers were suddenly fine with it. Now that I draw the comparison, I'm kind of surprised that Eric Cartman never got to meet Fred Durst in an episode of South Park. I think that they could either be very good buddies or they might drive each other nuts. The song "Hot Dog" features the word "fuck" 46 times; Durst points out in the lyrics "if I say fuck 2 more times that's 46 fucks in this fucked up rhyme". (South Park movie) 5.
