“As a DJ, it is normal to receive song requests, especially during a bottle parade,” read the DJ’s statement posted Friday. “In this instance, I received an Airdrop titled ‘HH’, with no indication of the song’s context. After playing the song it became clear that the lyrics were offensive. As soon as I realized the songs [sic] nature, I was stunned and shocked and immediately looked for another song to switch to.”

The DJ wrote that he takes “full responsibility” for the incident and “should have listened to the song or asked about its content before playing it.”

“I sincerely apologize to anyone who has been offended by the playing of this song, especially to my family and friends in the Jewish community,” he wrote.

    Thanks. This tip helped me avoid playing a song called “Me So Horny” at my son’s elementary school promotion party. I initially thought it was a fun tune about antelope or rhinoceroses or something like that.
