    "comment": "The BBC refused to play this because of the implied profanity in the lines:\n\"We're the worst band in the world\nBut we don't give a....\"\n10cc accommodated with an edit just for them, altering this section to:\n\"We're the worst band in the world\nBut we don't give up...\"\n\"They insisted that we put a word in!,\" co-songwriter Graham Gouldman said. \"It was so ridiculous because we knew everybody would think of 's--t.' There was no rhyming word, so we put 'but we don't give up.' A special edit for the BBC. Ridiculous really when I think back on it.\"",
