[edit] Chuck E's in Love lyrics question
Can anyone tell me what "P.I.P." in the first line means?
- How come he don't come and p.i.p. with me
- Down at the meter no more?

The letters are "PLP", but I don't know what they mean. I asked her backup singer Amy Barlow that question in 1979, and all she would say, with a smile, was that it was a "family secret".
PLP, can be short for either Public Leaning Post or Personal Leaning Post. When I was in high school in the '70s, we used this expression. Someone might come up to me and lean their arm across my shoulders, and I might say "what do I look like, a PLP?" - pmerriam St. Patrick's Day 2006
I have removed the claim that Jones was one of the few artists, if not the only, to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone twice in two years. The list of artists who fit that claim is long, including the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, and Tina Turner — and those are just from the first three years of the magazine. — Walloon 06:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Someone appended, "rickie Lee did not appear on reading rainbow" (etc), which should probably either be verified or deleted; if correct, then fixed in the article proper (with correct capitalization, grammar, etc). Also, [Little Fluffy Clouds] makes this same claim. Should be simple enough to verify by whomever made the original claim, or by the one who confuted it? Michael 08:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- "Chuck E's in Love" includes the line: "Christ, I think he's even combed his hair". Does anyone who remembers when this song was a hit know whether any radio stations bleeped out the word "Christ" or any other reports of people taking offense at this usage? Just wondering. --Metropolitan90 05:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

- People may have taken offense, but it wasn't censored out & there wasn't a public outcry over it. If the song was released today then the word Christ would most likely be edited, most likely due to today's way too P.C. airwaves & radio stations censoring above & beyond what the FCC deems offensive. 15:47 18 January 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.192.22.48 (talk) 20:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC).
