BBC Radio 1 has escaped any complaints after broadcasting the full unedited version of Cee-Lo Green's new song explicit song, FU.

The song was played in full during Nick Grimshaw's 10pm - 12am show, preceded by a warning from the presenter about the upcoming bad language.

The song, which has become an internet hit on YouTube, is called F**K You, and regularly sings the other swear words throughout the four minutes duration.

The radio friendly version, called FU, or Forget You, is now trending on most networks, and has been placed on Radio 1's B List. It is also currently Scott Mills' Record Of The Week. A search on comparemyradio.com says the track is on rotation at Xfm, 1 Xtra, 6 Music and Glide FM.

A spokesperson for BBC Radio 1 told RadioToday.co.uk: "The track was intentionally played out in full and unedited. It had appropriate warnings beforehand, and it was in line with audience expectations for that time of night.

"I can confirm that there have been no complaints."

F*ck you and uh, f*ck her too.

MY NEW FAVOURITE SONG.

I was about to look for the ROTW thread to say it was in the running for my favourite weekly / monthly song. Have now decided it is the winner.

Hmm. Love it - and have only heard a few verses of the unedited version, I didn't hear any other swear words in it, apart from the obvious, I must listen to it in full now.

Isn't there a rule where swearing can take place after a certain time?

Also, slightly off topic, Scott claims he's only sworn once on his show, yet I've heard him say the word, 'Crap,' quite a few times. What, is it not a real swear word?

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

Crap isn't a real swear word for fucks sake. I think they can play but not say the f word after 10. Didn't Colin Murray's last record ever on radio one have the f word in or was it bleeped?

I absolutely adore this song. The Motown vibe, and Cee Lo Green's conviction and beautiful voice just make it for me.

Even though I'm not huge fan of swearing, it does have its place. It f*cking works in this song. Great lyrics.

The original version is much better than the watered down Radio 1 version, but even so I'm delighted to have it on the playlist.

Incidentally Annie Mac said earlier that this was her favourite song of the year so far.

No it wasnt bleeped. I remember him saying he wanted to play the unedited version of the song he chose and had to get permission and for him to say the unedited title

It's actually a good song - I really dont see why people are intrested/annoyed about it. There isnt a problem with it - and if Nick Grimshaw said that there was swearing in the show before the music was played, then why is it ever a problem then?

So now there is a story about there not being complaints? That's because there is nothing to complain about!

Incidentally I'm about to write an article about there not being complaints that oh what occurring was incredibly racist and was devised only to belittle Welsh people...

I think sometimes they just make up news that isn't really there when there's no real news. This is an example of this ;)

Ooh, breaking news a few weeks ago was a child losing a toy, then finding it a week later. I think, also, there was a facebook group for it with about 50 members.

Colin's last song was The Man Don't Give a Fuck by Super Furry Animals. It was played in full with all the swearing.

Anyway, why does radio not have a watershed like television where swearing can happen without all the warnings?

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
