Jenny Owen Youngs self released her debut album 'Batten the Hatches' in 2005 before it got the reissue treatment on the Nettwerk label after this song "Fuck was I" was used in an episode of Weeds. She has a voice as sweet as apple pie and the cello and guitar compliment it so beautifully. It actually seems to be out of kilter with the title. But then again, she is just stating exactly what needs to be said in the situation she finds herself in. It wouldn't be the same if she said "What the hell was I thinking". This song is too good not to be played and much too good to be censored. Unfortunately she must've allowed them to do just that with the video for it. Although, it was clever the way they did it, I would rather have art the way it was intended.
Here is the song as it was intended to be heard.
The censored version....I've seen the following comment online about this version... "What the fuck were they thinking when they censored this"
