Se*y
There was a huge furore over a couple of songs about 12 years back in India when the "se*y" word was used? The one song was Govinda singing "Mere pant bhi se*y, Mere shirt bhi se*y etc" and the other was Karishma singing "Hi se*y, hello se*y kyun bole". The Govinda number was a poor remake of "Right Said Fred"'s "I'm too se*y for my shirt".
The Indian parliament being completely bereft of issues of national importance got involved and I understand got a special screening of the songs (or that might have been for Choli ke peeche) Anyway as an end result both songs were banned from the air and the latter was modified to say "Hi baby Hello baby kyun bole"
Anyway what I am coming around to is, the other day I was watching this new movie and that had (an undeniably catchy) number called "Teri kurti se*y lagti hai, teri kurti se*y"
I don't know if this song is getting a lot of air time back home but I am guessing that our own FCC isn't making such a big hue and cry any more over the "se*y" word anymore! The times, they are 'a changing.
PS I am using the * instead of x not out of any misplaced sense of propriety, just to bypass any filters you may have set :)
