here is wut a store says "We at a store take our responsibility to the family seriously. That's why we try to help parents identify music with explicit lyrics. We believe that not all music is right for all ages, and we post the Parental Advisory Label from the Recording Industry Association of America for just that reason. It's a notice to parents that the indicated recordings contain strong language or depictions of violence, sex or substance abuse.
The label is a nonremovable logo that record companies voluntarily place on products to better inform consumers and retailers, while also protecting the rights of artists. Parents can use it to identify music that may not be appropriate for their children and then make educated choices about when - or if - their children should have certain recordings.
The Parental Advisory is a notice to parents that recordings identified by this logo may contain strong language or depictions of violence, sex or substance abuse. Parental discretion is advised."

It isn't only the lyrics that can cause a CD to get the label. Artwork inside the CD cover can do this too. In the case of WalMart...they edit the lyrics and if the cover art is offensive they either won't sell the cd or will change the cover art. I'm not into Tool, but WalMart was selling one of their albums where the cover art was changed to a huge barcode rather than the black/red cover it did have.
I have a few CDs that have that lovely black N white label. Some of these CDs though shouldn't have it since there is no foul language, violent language, or offensive cover art. Then there are CDs that should be labeled but are not. I've noticed the CDs from metal bands tend to get labeled for no reason at all while a popular pop artist doesn't get labeled when they should be.

It depends on the number of curse words and the content of lyrics. Songs that talk about murder, suicide, and any other act of violence, or that contain F*** automatically get the CD labeled. Sh** can be said a couple of times, but if it is said over the limit, the CD is labeled.
If you really want the CD, and cannot purchase it because some stupid rule the store inflicts on youngsters, Wal-Mart sells edited versions of CDs. But if you ask me, I buy the CD so I expect all of the words to be there. Wal-Mart Sucks! ; )

A couple of cusswords is usually enough to get that funny little label in the corner of a CD.

I am not so sure. Good question. I know that in Canada, a band called the Tragically Hip has songs on the radio that use the 'F' word uncensored. In Canada no one seems to mind, but if a non-Canadian did this, it would be censored. It could be the fact that the Hip are gods in Canada. I beg to differ.

How many curse words are in the song. Also, what are the lyrics of the songs.
