Im getting in late on this bleeping discussion. But I wanted to ask the opinion of folks regarding some lyrics.

I have a release coming out in a few months/weeks on a compilation called Beartracks 4. I am wondering what kind of reaction to expect from programmers...mostly internet and GLBT programmers. The song title is "My Penis has a Mind of It's Own." It is a jazz/blues tune that harkens back to the old blues tunes and also jazz stuff ala 'Twisted." It is supposed to be funny. People laugh. 

On the other hand, I have had mucho trouble over this song through the years. I was once thrown out of a NYC club for performing it. Gig Cancelled! 
I have also had letters and emails regarding it's content.

Here's a sample of the first verse. 

"My Penis Has a Mind of it's Own
It doesnt like to be alone!

My Penis Has a Mind of it's Own
I wish that I could leave it home, Oh!

And just between us,
 Im powerless over my penis.
My Penis Has a Mind of it's Own"

Any thoughts about censoring?
