"
Laid" is the title song from
Manchester alternative rock band
James' 1993 album
Laid. Emotionally evocative and featuring the risqué lyrics "This bed is on fire with passionate love, the neighbours complain about the noises above, but she only cums when she's on top", it quickly gained popularity on
American college radio and remains the group's best-known song in the
USA. Because of the lyrics, in America the
music video of the song replaced the infamous line with "she only
sings when she's on top" (although
Tim Booth clearly lip-syncs the original line, and is accompanied by a subtitle reading "hums"). Today, a number of
alternative rock stations, including Boston's
RadioBDC,
WBOS, Maryland's
WRNR-FM, Chicago's
WXRT and Philadelphia's
WRFF will play "Laid" with the original controversial line.
