Their record label, Roadrunner, have banned the track after Nickelback said it's "prudish" and too offensive for Brits; they clearly haven't considered their fans, and who this would actually be played by... you're hardly going to hear Metal on Radio 1 are you?! Leading UK rock station Kerrang! have launched a campaign to get the song unbanned from the airwaves, with their listeners fully backing them, "A little too racy for British radio? Sorry, but the lyrics in this song probably aren't even as 'racy' as songs by bands such as the Sugababes or Girls Aloud who sing about not only sex, but promote promiscuity to a much younger audience". This fan is completely right! Compare the opening lyrics from Something In Your Mouth to Girl Aloud's Long Hot Summer: "Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body", at first you'd think that's sexually related, but then take a look at Long Hot Summer, "I know you like to wear my dressing gown. When I'm not there. I guess you like it in my shoes" Girls Aloud clearly have the more sexually charged song, judging by the first line. Yet this is listened to by teenage girls across the UK, and there's no problem?! What is the music industry coming to...Anyways, check out Something In Your Mouth here, and judge for yourself how offensive it is.
