Sonny from P.O.D. Dropped F-Bombs in Song, No One Is Hurt Yet

Old old old news, but a few weeks ago I came across the uncensored version of P.O.D.’s “I Am” track from their Testify album. Given the explicit (heh) Christian content of the song it certainly makes the swear more noticeable.

Honestly, it’s from the point of view of not-Sonny, so it’s not out of context in the narrative. He explains a little of it here.

I personally wouldn’t have done the same, but it’s not much different that a Christian author depicting a character in a story the same way. Think O’Connor’s Wise Blood.

In a kind of inversion of this phenomenon, Hayley Williams of Paramore regretted recording the line “God does it feel so good,” in the song “Misery Business.”
