UPDATE: There's a proper video for Cee-Lo's "Fuck You" single out today--you'd have to click "like" on his Facebook page to watch it, but what's not to like?

Cee-Lo's infectious, heart-tugging "Fuck You" has done an admirable job of giving the f-bomb a patina of respectability among people who are usually adverse to exalting swears and off-color language. Even the most prudish listener can't help but sing along to this tune, even if it means muttering over the chorus in order to keep his or her principles intact. 

But what about the other Seven Dirty Words made famous by George Carlin? Do they get any love? Or is this just Fuck's world, and we just live in it? We combed the cussing archives to spotlight the best songs that use the remaining six dirty words.

SHIT: 'Bitches Ain't Shit,' Ben Folds
