Britain's got confused.
Call me old-fashioned but ...
Since when has "Kiss my ****" gone from being a disgusting knock back involving getting **** on your lips, to a humorous lyric in a song suitable for broadcasting on a family show on prime time Saturday night TV ?
And just because it's spelled '***' doesn't make it any better in my book.

I noticed a song by Pink has similar lyrics, but the radio version has them dubbed out.
However, a cover of the same song by Shirley Bassey, also played on the radio, has the same lyrics left in.

Possibly because these are American's and the lyric is "***". In the UK an *** is a type of Donkey. So possibly we're confused as they are asking us to "kiss their donkey". So we don't know if that needs censoring or not.
One for the grammer police I think - their fun hobby being difference between the Queen's and American English.
