Don't Fuck Around With Love
The Blenders
The Sway: New Orleans Rhythm & Blues

From David Cole’s wonderful mix The Sway —a “trim 35 minutes of old fashioned rhythm & blues from mid-century New Orleans and Texas”— comes this, perhaps the oldest song I know of featuring the f-word.

The profane alternate-take version of “Don’t Play Around with Love” is especially appropriate for a friend of mine today, who’s clever as a fox and should just keep on struttin’ (as illustrated in one of Cole’s essentially perfect works of pixel art).
