Their list of songs to release includes covers of:
- Tommy James & The Shondells I Think We're Alone now ("Children behave! And watch how you play. That's what they say when we're together...")
- Benny Mardones' Into The Night ("She's just 16 years old, leave her alone, they say...")
- Gary Puckett & The Union Gap This Girl is a Woman Now ("A child had died, a woman had been born!")
- Gary Puckett & The Union Gap Young Girl ("My love for you is way out of line.")
- Rod Stewart's Tonight's The Night (""C'mon angel... Spread your wings and let me come inside...")
The lyrics to be used were on the order of changes such as "Oh Rhonda you look so fine / And I know it wouldn't take much time / For you to / F--k me Rhonda / F--k me 'till my d--k falls off! / A bang-bang-bang-bang-bang bang!"
A spokesperson for the group pointed out that "under current law, once a song is released in a recording, legally anyone is entitled to do a cover version either by getting a license from the Harry Fox Agency or using the federal Compulsory License if the composer objects to the issuance of a regular license. The fact that the group has a name that may be considered objectionable by some people does not give ground to stop the release of a cover version.
"While common practice is to obtain permission for parodies, we suspect these parodies to be so offensive permission would not be given, and in view of some of the court decisions in this matter, such as Fisher v. Dees (Rick Dees legally uses part of "When Sunny Gets Blue" to make parody "When Sunny Sniffs Glue") and Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music (2 Live Crew's "Pretty Woman" is a legally permissible parody of Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman"), the law is fairly clear that parody is a legitimate form of fair use."
She also said the group has no problems about the controversy, saying "There's no such thing as bad publicity."
