Australia PM apologises over use of 'explicit' song

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has tendered an apology after posting a video featuring a hit hip-hop track containing explicit lyrics, BBC reported.

The clip featured Australian treasury MPs raising hands in Parliament. Morrison praised his colleagues for being "on fire today" in the 11-second-video's caption.

The accompanying track -- Be Faithful by hype man Fatman Scoop -- left many puzzled. While the snippet posted on Morrison's social media accounts was not explicit, the post was crticised as "bizarre".

Others termed the post a question mark on the calibre of the prime minister and his team. Dismissing the outrage as "harmless", others took it in a lighter vein.
