My little brother used to love swearing and even got to like the taste of mustard as my mum used it as a punishment for swearing. But when the Beatles single that went "Obladi-Oblada" was in the charts, he took great delight in singing the chorus at the top of his voice, then quickly declaring that it was ok to swear cos he was just singing the song. None of his older brothers and sisters dared to sing along even though we knew he wasn't really saying "bloody"!
