QBS Radio - Explicit Lyrics Anyone?

Freethinker - it doesn't belong in public places where people don't have a choice if they hear it or not. That's why radio edits of songs are created. Obviously QBS aren't aware of these.

F77 - No they don't but this kind of language doesn't belong on broadcast it belongs on your iPod or in your house. Doesn't explain why I like to zip around in my Mini with Stranglers etc. disturbing the peace but since my broadcast radius is only 5m or so...

OMG !! stir up troble??

Sorry Sir If I am not really aware of the nature of your forum but I'm surprised to see complains about explicit lyrics !

Singing and arts in general have nothing to do with ethics and morals. [mod note - or religion, which is why your comment was removed]

this is so common sense for me though I am coming from Arabian conservative background .

mysterious phenomena is that expats coming from cultures supposed to be more open and libertarian are showing conservative values ....and that is why I wrote my rejection !

If you are talking with a cultured Arabian guys in Lebanon or Egypt or Tunisia and said that you have a problem with The explicit lyrics they would

be surprised just like me because we think that us " Arabs" are the only remaining nation with such unrealistic values but good to know that we are not alone !!!

Thanks anyway....and I am sorry for disturbing you..

please do not intentionally stir up trouble

Hey mods

Is it possible to sticky all the QBS bashin threads.

How we all love bashin QBS!

Hey guys what do you expect its the new generation,

I can imagine Maddy singing along to anything.

All three of the girls were out at Easter, I guess you didn't see them.

never mind the explicit words! the DJ's should be bloody sacked!! who the hell would put pan pipes on at 7 am when a proper DJ would put on music to wake people up??? QBC email me.....I'll do a proper job!!

explicit song at around 7 while they were counting down the hits..jessica albas "00" in someones mouth or something like that-eminem?

Tall, you're getting awfully cheeky. Watch yo back dude. I may have to take you down.

just try to pretend, even if it's not true;-)

That's an AWESOME song mandi. Sounds like it could be diamond's theme tune.

I saw them live a couple of years ago. Highly recommended.

Mandi, try driving a white landcruiser with Snap!'s "I've got the power" on full volume.

Just when I think all is lost - heard them play "Woke Up This Morning, Got Yourself a Gun" (theme from the Sopranos.) I'm bopping down Al Rayyan Street singing along thinking BAD thoughts.

Mandi

Yo sparkles, you is gangsta, innit.

How bouts u cruz on down ta QBS n pop a cap in their equipment like, save us having to listen to them at all?

Sometimes I can't quite believe what is polluting my ears (or my eyes but that is another topic called 'less is definitely not more'). On a good day I just ignore it, on a bad day I take out my handgun and shoot the speakers out (and anyone else around me who is annoying).

I've always found that quite effective.

-------------------------------------

Perhaps it's just the locals who care that can't understand it....or perhaps they're having a good chuckle too. I know for sure Diamond would giggle away to herself.

I was away, so I was unable to pounce on the prey...

Thanks Diamond.

Oh yeah, UKEng, the locals don't understand a word, cause NONE of them understand English, right?

Geez.

-------------------------------------

And yes, it's hysterical, almost like she's auditioning for a job with a 900 number...LOL!

her favourite song was Candy Shop....as in 'Ill take you to the candy shop... Ill let you lick my lolipop' T and I used to have a good chuckle while she sung the words with total innocence.... if only she had realised what they actually meant... oh the innocence of childhood!

the other day listening to the one DJ, i was totally convinced she was having an orgasm, the way her voice got all raspy and breathless... and started to rise in a slightly 'strange' way... I have noticed she always talks like this - on the brink of something... um exciting... its comical...

QBS has some romantic music program at noon time, and not only once I "enjoyed" some whispered/panting/oh,oh, yeah,yeah songs...wondering if they have some striptease break time there...great fun! And lucky me I was driving..oh, yeah;-)

have you ever seen the massive ship docked in Doha. When it is laden it looks like it says fooker, but when empty it says something else. My kids love screaming,'look its the big fooker again ;-)

I will hoist that up the flag pole and see who salutes it!!

My grandkids take great delight in asking if they can read out the company name on one particular cement lorry when they come to Turkey...........UFUK cement.

I always say no but then the local fishing boat owner comes down the lane selling his "ballack" (fish) at the top of his voice which sounds too much like something else. It creases the kids.

esp.the last hit:Filipinos,Filipinos...no offense!!!

Or it's old?!Heard it only this week in some big shops in Villaggio...and quite loud!

It is Ok..That locals don't understand a word so there is no fatwa.. Poor old expats who have to put up...lol

-----------------

HE WHO DARES WINS

I was once in there with my kids and there was a film on and the langugae was disgusting. I did have a word with one of the managers (did not want to get them in trouble if they did not know it offensive). They turned it off and then started playing the loudest music ever with swear words ;-))))))))))

On a different note; who else is totally peeded off with the loud music everywhere? Or am I being a boring old fart?????

I will hoist that up the flag pole and see who salutes it!!

golo .. its ok man, u just change station ..

Wats the point in us cribbing and discussing about how pathetic the local radio & even more pathetic their DJs (RJs) are??? If only some1 frm QBS would be on this forum and be reading all this!!!

The only person who responds is some dumb DJ (RJ) who wants to defend their lame presentation!!! (i think some of u might kno who i'm talking bout)

I've totally tuned off frm QBS now!!! 96.5 is good wen clear, else i like the peace and quite!!!

Yes, and a decade earlier, Elvis was shown only from the waist up!

When the Rolling Stones appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in the 60s, they had to change the lyrics from "Let's spend the night together" to

"Let's spend some time together"

I think it's hilarious. Reminds me of one of my 8 year old students in Korea. She came to class wearing a shirt that said "Rape Me."

That's what I love about QL - there's nearly always someone out there who has some insider info and stuff. Thanks nicolidus!

Villaggio Mall management sent a memo round all the stores about a month ago warning about playing explicit lyrics. If you really get offended go and complain to the mall rather than the store and it's more likely some serious action will be taken, rather than the store manager just saying 'turn it off'.

LOL... funny, and ugly...

I wouldn't call that music.

jizzed in my pants...perhaps the funniest song i've ever heard.

LOL/Even an English version would pass.

It happened during the holy month of Ramadan when in "Hits from Germany" QBS played a song called "Ich bin so geil". which means "I am so horny". And I tell you, I know some Qataris who speak German. I wrote a letter to QBS offering them my translation service, but, of course, they never replied.

Johnny Cash in "a boy named sue" had the lyrics "Son of a B*tch" bleeped over on the live version. But on the tame version it said "Im the Mangy dog who named you Sue"

broadcasters always try to push the envelope a bit further! The implosion will be even more severe. Reminds me when the censor asked why Doha Players had cold tea in the decanter for a Chekhov play, Cherry orchard I think, wouldn't orange juice suffice? Some people think that whats new is good without any thought about the content. Eminem is an idiot who has no moral compass and the less I ever hear of him again the better I feel.

You can't teach experience...

Bernie Lyons playing the Eminem/Dr. Dre song "Crack a Bottle" with lyrics along the lines of

"lick the cheese out from under my nuts"

LMFAO!

Amazing how they'll still black out thighs and shoulders in women's magazines, and still cut kissing/sex scenes from movies, but on QBS you can listen to some guy singing about some chick licking his balls...

Just trying to think of the first song to contain a swear word? Must be one pre-punk era?

It's funny, been happening for ages, in all the shops too. I never complain, just laugh and think about how children's innocence is being ruined by a bit of foul language.

try 100.5 Radio One (from UAE) and 96.5 Radio Bahrain...sometimes you are able to receive those radio channels in city center. if you are driving thru Al Khor or Ras Laffan, than you have more chance...QBS sucks!

Same here- I heard a very offensive song being played in Boots pharmacy in Villaggio and I asked the manager to turn it off.

LOL.

Yeah, but bleu, I bet you know the difference in pronunication of "elaborate" as an adjective and "elaborate" as a verb. The gal on QBS does not!

Mandi

I was in H&M and went to have a little word with the manager about very explicit lyrics being played - but manager was out for lunch

LOL

Amoud, I pick it up loud and clear.

yeh, happens very often...and i always wonder HOW?? lol...looks like no one seems to care.

Yeah, I get caught between being offended by the lyrics and giggling at the thought of a strict media missing the language.

Mandi

I heard some hip hop song about busting up his girl with his super sperm. Not exactly rude words but not a nice image...... heard many things that would get cut in the UK for a day show just played straight here. Its great!

I also say a filipio in carrefore wearting a t-shirt that said UK punk on the front and when he walked by the back said f++k off W+nk++s... .strange very strange....

Not just QBS, I was in Shoe Mart yesterday and they were playing unedited Eminem.

It happens everywhere in Doha, maybe us expats are the only ones who pick up on it. I love having a family meal in a family restaurant here to the subtle background music outlining the duty of b**tches and hoes.

I've heard QBS playing songs with explicit lyrics while I was in Carrefour. Made me chuckle. Nothing like a bit of f-ing and blinding while you're weighing your fruit'n'veg!
