Any thoughts? mine are:
1) fuck her gently, tenacious d
2) 'Who Are You,' the Who ('who the fuck are you?')
3) 'Modern World,' The Jam ('i don't give two fucks about your review.'
4) 'erotic city', prince ('we can fuck until the dawn')
5) 'your dictionary', xtc (f-u-c-k is that how you spell friend in your dictionary?)

-'This guitar's gonna fuck your face' - Phish, 'Fuck Your Face'
-'Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me' - RATM, 'Killing in the Name'
-'She's shaking obscene, like a fucking machine' - Suede, 'Savoir Faire'

I generally don't like profanity in my rock'n'roll, but a good 'fuck' every once in a while, well-placed, really turns it up a notch.

Relevant: Prince, PT Anderson, Punk, Post-Punk, Purple, Party of Five, Peter Swanson, Peter Gabriel-led Genesis, "Peter Panic", Paul's Boutique, Potential Energy, Every Features MB member but me.

definitely 'chopsticks' by liz phair

'he said he liked to do it from behind...that way we can fuck and watch t.v.'

ditto to the Jam quote
'I dont give two fucks about your review'
However, my personal favorite The Jam use of fuck is in the song 'Time for Truth':
'You're just another red balloon with a lot of hot gas, why dont you fuck off!'

It is indeed. I've been listening to it in the car the last couple of days, and it's been a very refreshing thing.

Did I miss it or has everyone forgotten Beck's "Fuckin' with my Head" (yeah yeah yeah yeah)?

Maybe also Pearl Jam's Jeremy "... seemed a harmless little fuck"

That's right-- "fuck" as a noun. Gotta love it.
