"Asshole" is a song by American comedian Denis Leary, released as the only single from his album ''No Cure for Cancer'' in 1993. ==Song information== The chorus of the song is often used in ''The Howard Stern Show'' and was also utilized (along with the opening guitar riff) on ''The Morning Show with Ed Lover, Doctor Dré and Lisa G.'' on New York's WQHT Hot 97 for a brief period in the mid-1990s as the backdrop for a weekly segment called "The Jackass Wall". On the Australian TV show ''The Chaser's War on Everything'', it was parodied with a song called "Ass Sol", making fun of Sol Trujillo, the controversial American CEO of Australian telecommunications provider Telstra. The song made MuchMusic's "50 Most Controversial Videos of All Time" and reached spot #37 for its profanity, making fun of handicapped people, and threatening to destroy the environment. The word "asshole" is said at least 27 times, according to MuchMusic's Devon Soltendieck. The word "fuck" is said four times and also "piss" is used three times. "Goddamn" is also uttered. A censored video for the song was made, which bleeps out some words. However the word "asshole" is still present and uncensored. In a 2008 appearance on ''The Opie and Anthony Show'', comedian Louis CK claimed that Leary stole his "I'm an asshole" routine, which was then expanded upon and turned into a hit song by Leary.〔(YouTube: Denis Leary ripped off "I'm An Asshole" from Louis CK ) (Flash).〕 On a later episode of the same show, Leary challenged this assertion by claiming that he (Leary) co-wrote the song with Chris Phillips.〔(Denis Leary responds to Louis CK claiming he stole "I'm An Asshole" from him ) (Flash).〕 The song was adapted by Leary for use in a Holsten Pils advertisement on British TV which was against drunk driving. Leary appeared in the advert which is about a man who drinks and drives with his family in the car. The song uses samples from Dolly Parton's "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You", so the complete writing list includes Leary himself, Chris Phillips, and Pebe Sebert and Hugh Moffatt, for the samples.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Asshole by Dennis Leary )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Asshole (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
