A few years ago, my local oldies station went so far as 

to censor songs where the lyrics weren't really dirty, but could 

possibly be misheard as such!  This included "Legs" by ZZ Top ("Sure I got to 

have her" which sounds like "S**t I got to 

have her") and "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd where they bleeped 

out the very ending lyrics of "Montgomery's got 

the answer" which I guess could sound like "G** Damn"?!?  They have since 

come to their senses and gone back to airing 

them as is. 

The ZZ Top lyric is listed is "Said I got to have her", but most people think they 

put that there because of the record company, when he's clearly singing  the 

S-word.
