The Man Don't Give a Fuck is a song by the Super Furry Animals twice released as singles by them.
It is based round a sample from the Steely Dan song Showbiz Kids - "You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else". The sample is repeated more than 50 times and so the single is claimed to feature the word "fuck" more than any other song.
The song was originally intended as a B-side but the group had not been able to get the rights to the song.
[edit] First single
The song was first released as a single in December 1996. The single cover features footballer Robin Friday and came with a sticker reading "Warning! This track contains the word ****! 50 times", which concealed the word "fuck" in the title.
It reached 22 in the UK singles chart.
Unsurprisingly, the song received little airplay in the UK due to the continuous use of the word "fuck", although was used in a commercial for an ESPN Classic show on Sky Digital in 2006. However the song did receive airplay in Australia.
