Something interesting about this song: it brought into question decency laws in Canada and if the song can be played on the air.
A Calgary radio listener filed a complaint with the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council about the song's lyrics. Specifically: "I've got the cure for all of my blues / I take a look at my enormous penis / And my troubles start a-meltin' away."
The listener's complaint that the song was obscene fell flat before the council's members, who said the item did not break its code of ethics.
"The discussion of penis size is not in and of itself sufficiently unequivocally a sexual matter that it can be said to be in breach of the code," the council said.
I would still hesitate before blaring it at work though.
