* Music/FaithNoMore - In the song 'The Gentle Art of Making Enemies': "Happy birthday, FUCKER!" Also, later in the song: "Cause [[SexGod I'm the best FUCK that you ever had]]". In live performances, they usually add one to "Epic", changing "So you lay down on it and you do it some more" to "So you lay down on it and you ''fuck'' it some more". Supposedly this was how Music/MikePatton originally wrote the lyric, but someone talked him into changing it for the studio version.

* While accompanying Music/AliceInChains and Korn, UnderOath lead singer Spencer Chamberlain asked a St. Louis crowd (after mentioning that all of their other gigs in St. Louis had been held in a much smaller venue than the amphitheater they were currently playing in) to raise their hands if this was their first time seeing them. He unleashed a "Holy fuck!" when 90% of the capacity crowd raised their hands.
