Source Manouche - Explicit Content??!?

I just noticed that, on iTunes, Marcel Loeffler's Source Manouche album carries a Parental Advisory for Explicit Content!!

Anybody know what is up with that? The only song that has lyrics is "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" which, if I am not mistaking, is a Gospel song...

Probably an honest mistake but all the songs in the listing carry an "Explicit" tag...pretty funny if you ask me.

Accordion... assassin of youth! Corrupter of the innocent!

Sounds like a marketing gimmick. I think ALL gypsy jazz albums should have that sticker. They might sell more albums with an edgier bad-gypsy image. Too many people think gypsy jazz players are nice guys.

Yeah, and they did the same thing to his new album, which is equally non-threatening and non-"teen-age-mind-corrupting".

I often see little typos in the titles of various songs/albums that I've burned to my iTunes library, but giving Marcel Loeffler an Explicit rating for his last 2 albums is completely unacceptable.

On a related note, I noticed in my iTunes library for Tchavolo's album Loutcha, that the album view uses the same exact album cover EXCEPT THAT a d-hole guitar has been photoshopped in place of the petite bouche on the real album cover. Very bizarre.
