Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"The Beat"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Anybody wanna swallow me?
Why They're Inappropriate: Taken on face value that's just a total and utter clanger...but the rest of the song is supposedly about police brutality. Can I venture a guess what Elvis was caught doing? Maybe preceding George Michael by a good 20 years?
