Rightfully called out for clarification.
Christians and Conservatives tried to get certain [[rap music]] banned, such as those with cop-killer or women-hating lyrics. (You know, bees and hoes.) --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:14, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

==The literal first-person==
==The literal first-person in bands==
My last edit reminded me of this. It's extremely rare, but sometimes music is sung in the literal first-person; i.e. the only person it applies to is the actual lead singer of the band. The only instances I know of are 10,000 Days by Tool and Troublemaker by Weezer. I don't think two instances justify an article section alone about them, so if any others come to mind, I'd like commentary on it before editing the actual page. --[[User:Pious|Pious]] ([[User talk:Pious|talk]]) 03:01, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

:I am trying to understand your edit. Especially the ''the only person it applies to is the actual lead singer of the band.'' Why does it have to be the lead singer of a "band"?

::Excellent point- I realize that a great deal of hymns literally apply to the people singing them, which I should've said the first time 'round. My intent was to point out the rarity of literal first-person in modern bands that aren't strictly Christian, and inquire as to if there were any others. I edited the title of this talk bit accordingly.--[[User:Pious|Pious]] ([[User talk:Pious|talk]]) 02:06, 23 August 2016 (EDT)
