"FCC Song" is a deliberately controversial and explicit song by British-born Monty Python comic Eric Idle.Idle, who later became a resident of the U.S. state of California, recorded the song in early 2004 in reaction to a fine by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for saying "fuck" on a radio station.
Eric Idle was born on 29 March 1943 in Harton Hospital, in South Shields. [1] His mother, Norah Barron Sanderson, [2] was a nurse, [1] and his father, Ernest Idle, [2] [3] served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, only to be killed in a road accident while hitchhiking home for Christmas in December 1945.
Another similar song, also by Idle, is "The FCC Song", whose refrain "Fuck you very much" is directed at the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. "I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio" touches on the same subject, but includes bleepings and comic sound-effect noises (such as "Cha-ching" or "Yeeaagh!") in place of actual profanity.
