History CrossesTheLineTwice / Music

* In Sweden there is an entire genre of music called "Könsrock" (Genitalia rock) that is pretty much the embodiment of this trope. By far the most infamous of those bands is Onkel Kånkel and his Kånkelbärs ("Uncle Dingleberry and his Dingleberries"). They were brought to the attention of the authorities when a schoolteacher had read the lyrics to [[https://www.lyricsbox.com/onkel-k%C3%A5nkel-f%C3%B6rkrympt-gubbkuk-av-st%C3%A5l-lyrics-z6l3nwb.html one of their songs]] which describe, in detail [[spoiler: how an 85-year old man gets a 9-year old girl drunk and rapes her in the forest, all portrayed in a whimsical humoristic fashion.]] Fortunately, any attempt to ban them failed.

* Experimental artist James Leyland Kirby (yes, '''[[Music/TheCaretaker THAT]]''' Leyland Kirby), performing as [=V/Vm=], made a single commemorating the death of the Queen Mum. The single included calling her a [[TheAlcoholic drunk]] [[RacistGrandma racist]] [[GrumpyOldMan robot]], a sound college of her funeral and [[SelfDeprecation terrible covers]] of "[[Music/TheSmiths The Queen Is Dead]]" and "[[Music/TheSexPistols Anarchy in the UK]]".

* ''Music/OingoBoingo'' : Infectious Latin-infused pop music. Lyrics about possible pedophilia and creepy sexual interest ("Little Girls"), black comedy about death ("No One Lives Forever", "Dead Man's Party"), a one-man crime wave ("Only a Lad"), suicide, unemployment, and home invasion burglary ending in nuclear war ("Nothing Bad Happens to Me")

* Music/TheProdigy's music video for "Smack My Bitch Up" (yes, that is the song's name.) [[https://youtu.be/20tWDFxQq5A See it for yourself.]]

* Music/DirEnGrey have pretty much become the VisualKei equivalent of Music/AnalCunt, at least lyrically. Their lyrics are generally designed to be as offensive and shocking as possible, with their ''very lightest'' song coming at a 9 on the MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness.

* ''{{Music/Gloryhammer}}'': The descriptions of Zargothrax's Army of Evil are so over-the-top they wrap around from scary to silly and back to genuinely frightening. Starting out with a force of undead unicorns, then working up through zombies, the Goblins of the Darkstorm Galaxy and a monastic order of Deathknights, all the way up to demons made of feces and a universe-eating EldritchAbomination.

* The Simpsons song ''Flaming Moe's'' is a DarkerAndEdgier parody of the Series/{{Cheers}} theme song that [[LyricalDissonance nonetheless sounds warm and comforting]]. Nicolas Dumesnil's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCRm-gPOt18 extended cover]] takes the suicidal feelings of the first verse and runs with them off a cliff, elaborating on various self-murder methods to the point of BlackComedy. Many listeners can't tell if it's depressing or heartwarming.

* We're tempted to say ''everything'' by Music/RuckaRuckaAli, who would probably be the first person to describe himself as "the racist [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Weird Al.]]" Songs about murder, rape, torture, domestic violence, racism, suicide, nuclear war, child abuse, police brutality, and many, many others? Not funny. Songs about all those horrible things...sung to the tunes of [[LyricalDissonance cheery top 40 bubblegum pop songs?]] Okay, '''''s funny. What are some of his songs? Well, for starters, there's his version of "[[Music/KatyPerry California Gurls]]", titled "[[NonIndicativeName I Love Minorities]]", and, if that doesn't give you a hint, well...[[RefugeInAudacity just read on]]...

They've got Jewish lawyers in court\\
Muslims are the best at flying into stuff\\
(Not all Muslims, just most, and all it takes is most)\\
Africans like lynching homosexuals\\
Cubans turn dildoes into boats\\
Germans kidnap girls and make them prostitutes\\
Everyone's special in their own gay little way"''\\

* A song about pedophilia? Not funny. A song about necrophilia? Still not funny. A song about bestiality? Not even a chuckle. How about "SadoMasoPedoRoboNecroBestiality"? ...actually kinda funny.
