Thanks LLaRo....Thats exactly the song I was thinking of.
But then again there was a group around the same era...cant think of the name of them,but they had to go underground because of their hit...."Up Against The Wall Mother F- - - - R."

Answer 2

I remember in the movie West Side Story in 1960, the Jets sang "Here come the Jets and we're gonna beat
Every last fugging gang on the whole fuggin street
On the whole, fuggin, ever lovin, street!

The sound track was released on a record album.

Answer 3

John Lennon used it in a great song entitled Working Class Hero in 1970 from his first post-Beatles album "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band"

From Wikipedia:

""Working Class Hero" is a song from John Lennon's first post-Beatles solo album, 1970's John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. Regarded as one of Lennon's most caustic and overtly political songs, it explores themes of alienation and social status from childhood to adulthood. It was controversial in that it was one of the first popular songs to include the word "*******" (twice). The album's notes replaced the word with asterisks, and footnotes claimed that the obsecenity was ommitted from the printed lyrics at the request of EMI.
The irony of this song is that Lennon grew up in Woolton, which is one of the most affluent and middle-class areas of Liverpool. Many of the lyrics though derive from his time during Primal Therapy and stem from his acceptance of life as opposed to the continual fight against it that society expects."
