No longer the problem it was, what with the decline of vinyl.
Of course, the downside is that you can no longer run the song backwards to get your instructions from Satan

It is at
It is named after the Jimi Hendrix song where he says
Scuse me while I kiss the sky, and everyone thought
it was Scuse me while I kiss this guy.

goldenballs Jimi Hendrix fact of the day: In concert Jimi would often deliberately say 'kiss this guy' while pointing to bass player Noel Redding.

When The Police released "So Lonely" newsreader Sue Lawley thought they had written a song about her.....
The Bee Gees "Massacheusets" could be "Massive Two Tits"

When I heard this in '73 by Alice Cooper, I thought he was singing 'I wanna be a lady' instead of 'I wanna be elected'
The Sex Pistols use of the word CUNT was missed by the censors when they appeared on Top of the Pops in 1977 when Rotten sang 'we're vay-CUNT' instead of 'we're vacant' on Pretty Vacant. Only picked up years later when Johnny owned up and we all saw it then
