Me So Horny
"Me So Horny" is a song by the rap group 2 Live Crew on their album '' As Nasty As They Wanna Be''. The explicit nature of the lyrics of this song and the album led to the initially successful prosecution of the group on obscenity charges and the album being banned from sale in Florida. This ban was overturned on appeal. It reached number one on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot Rap Tracks chart and number 26 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 1989, staying on the Hot 100 for thirty weeks, despite lack of airplay due to the controversial nature of the lyrics (and/or possibly because of the associated controversy).
