Usually, I spend my evening commute catching up on my singing. I flip through the radio stations looking for something danceable (one can do a surprising amount of hip shaking while driving) and/or something that begs for vocal accompaniment. But yesterday, things took an unexpected turn. I polish off a stellar performance of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance," followed by a version of CCR's "Fortunate Son," and then, BOOM, jackpot! Nirvana. I'm getting pumped up as the song opens and clear my throat for what's to come. (Hold the "that's what she said" jokes). And then the words:
"Rape me. Rape me, my friend. Rape me. Rape me again."
First, let me say I love this song, love this song, love this song. I've loved it since before I had my first kiss, since before I had braces, since before I shaved my legs (and, fyi, those things happened in backwards order.) But had I never actually sang it out loud? I doubt it but, for some reason, it was really fucking weird singing "rape me" yesterday. I powered through the discomfort and did Nirvana proud, but the whole time I think I had a super awkward look on my face. The driver stopped at the light next to me must have thought I farted or something.
Anyways, are there any song lyrics, lines from a movie, etc. that you would be uncomfortable saying, even under the pretenses of "acting"?

Example: every time we watch Rosemary's Baby, my mom says that she could never play the role of the neighbors, who chant prayers to Satan.
Her reasoning: She doesn't want those words to ever come out of her mouth. There might be some miscommunication in heaven and she ain't trying to have any of that.
