    "Hit me with your best shot" is an idiom which has nothing to do with violence - in fact, it's more likely to be a sexual innuendo in the context of that song's lyrics...

    "before I put another notch in my lipstick case..."
    "It's a love affair. Mainly Jesus... and my hotrod."

    Here's some sexual innuendo that slipped through. Duran Duran - "Girls on Film"

    "Give me shudders in a whisper take me up till I'm shooting a star"

    And don't forget "Under the Bridge" - "Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood."

    When is some kid going to ask "Hey Daddy, why is he drawing blood?"

    I'm not complaining about the songs that are NOT included, and the list of course may change. But a few that have been included maybe should not have been.

    Oh, come on. Bad Reputation is in Shrek for God's sake. You Oughta Know is also heavily (and appropriately) edited.

    Guys, remember the game is rated E10+ (for everyone 10 and up), not E (for everyone 6 and up); they're not goint to be that strict on the filters...

    For the filters, if swearing is censored out, does that count as good or bad?

    I like how you can put some of your dlc in lego rb. That will make getting those achievements and enjoying those graphics for that 5 or 6 day period a little more fun, but in the end I think I'm just going to put all the songs in RB2 and play it that way. I don't think RB1 and RB2 transfers to Lego are necessary.
    It's not Harmonix fault that you shut ins don't have friends to do the harmonies with.

    It seems in a lot of examples, leaving the swear spot there is still kinda bad.

    I don't think we should bother trying to figure out the patterns when it comes to what's allowed in LEGO and what isn't. We don't have any view into the rating process, and given how the song updates come in waves it's entirely possible that whoever approves one set may not be in charge of another.

    Just like the ESRB will have different applications/interpretations of standards on any given day when it comes to DLC.

    There's certain levels of violence that are going to be acceptable. Afterall, there's violence to some extent in children's movies all the time.

    It's the DEGREE of violence and descriptions of violence.

    "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" not as big a deal as "Punch Me With Your Closed Fist".
