Wonderboy

WONDERBOY
 
 
"Wonderboy"  is a song by American comedy duo Tenacious D.  It was released in November 2002 as the second single from their self-titled debut album.  The song peaked at number 36 in the UK and number 44 in Australia; the video, directed by Spike Jonze, was also well received.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
Rolling Stone’s article provides reflections from some of the rock artists involved in the PMRC controversy. Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider has this to say: "Everything I represented, stood for and said back then, I have lived and stand by today. . . . I practice self-censorship. When my own family got into Tenacious D, the first album [Tenacious D], including my little daughter who was only eight, I made a special tape for her without 'F--k Her Gently' on it 'cause she wasn't ready for 'F--k Her Gently'. But she clearly listened [to] 'Wonderboy' and the other songs her brothers were listening to. This is hands-on parenting and everything I stood for."
