I can see why.  MCVICAR suggested enough of that, anyhow.  I gather that 
Roger's sex appeal crosses over to the gay population, and there's no use 
giving people ideas.  Roger seems to like the song, as he's sung backup on 
it, but it wasn't appropriate for MCVICAR--that wasn't the statement the 
movie was supposed to make.

So do you suppose Pete offered songs he knew Roger wouldn't accept?
