Who doesn't love to say 'Fuck'? Wednesday 13 certainly does and he's been using his audiences’ ears as a potty with this splendidly immature and wholly cathartic ditty for two decades now.
In case you were labouring under the impression that I Love To Say Fuck was a Murderdolls song, it actually goes much further back to Wednesday's former band Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13.
Here the singer reveals the song's enduring appeal and the role that a ladies’ bathroom in Kmart played in its genesis…
“I was working at Kmart. That was my day job, or night job actually, and I worked by myself in this big department store at night. It wasn’t open 24 hours and I was the stock guy, so I’d be locked in overnight. There was no boss watching over me so I used to bring my guitar in; I was working on an idea for this song, I Love To Say Fuck. I thought it was a cool idea and I wanted to get the riff down, so I went into the ladies' room of the Kmart because the acoustics were better. As a bit of extra background knowledge: yes it was a Frankenstein Drag Queens song originally, but the Murderdolls logo that was the ladies room symbol came from that exact bathroom. I pulled it off the wall and that’s what I used to make the original logo – with some Wite-Out and a Xerox machine.

“I remember calling the janitor in because I nailed the riff and I had the chorus. He was my first guy to test it out on and this guy was probably 20 years older than me; he was from the Czech Republic and barely spoke English. I called him in and went, ‘I ain’t got a fucking problem / I just love to say fuck…’ He stopped me and said, ‘No one will ever want to hear this song. This is the worst song I have ever heard.’ I was like, ‘One day somebody will want to hear this song,’ and here we are 20 years on still talking about it. That guy actually came out to my show two years ago. He’d never seen us play, but he came out to see it live and he said, ‘Okay, you were right.’ It kinda came full circle.
