    Really, the only way he doesn’t fit is that he doesn’t have the massive ego Mozart had. That, and I guess he’s not quite as dirty. Mozart once wrote of piece of music called “Lick My Ass.

        Fair, but one is innuendo and the other one is just coming right out and saying “lick my ass.”

          Yeah not all the way, but still a lot closer than many people think (also “Orgy on My Own”)

            He’s certainly kept himself looking basically clean and family-friendly overall. I wasn’t away of the Orgy on my Own song, but other innuendo is all the sorts of things that would totally go over kids’ heads on a sort of Looney Tunes level, so I think that’s okay. I also know he really hates it when people attribute dirty song parodies to him (which happens all the time).

      He actually wrote 2 of those. For the sake of education, let’s provide the complete text of one (via deepl.com):

      Lick my a… right already,

      lick it nice and clean,

      lick it clean, lick my a…

      That’s a greasy desire,

      only well lubricated with butter,

      the licking of the roast my daily do.

      Three lick more than two,

      go ahead, take the test

      and lick, lick, lick.

      Everyone licks his own a…

      The phrase, aka the Swabian Salute, had been popularized a few years earlier in Goethe’s quite successful play Götz von Berlichingen. It is the knight’s reply to a demand for surrender. Götz may be more famous for his “iron fist/iron hand”, a prosthetic hand (at least, I saw a post about it trending on reddit a few years back). Two prosthetics that are thought to have belonged to him, may be seen in a museum. He lived ~1480-1562 and lost his hand, according to his autobiography, in 1504 to a field artillery shell when he besieged a Bavarian town.
