:lol: at some of these names. "Come" Again :P

 

Why was Waterloo, Killer Queen banned in the gulf war, seem a bit stupid :blink:

Bjork - Alarm Call - For her animated nipples! - 1998

 

WTF? :blink: :rofl:

 

Anyway have any songs later than that actually been banned?

 

Cheers for posting

very interesting list, thanks for posting it... perfect for 'resources' :)

That's quite interesting ^_^ I had no idea so many songs were banned during the wars, though obviously that would make sense really.

OMG!

 

Some of these are just ridicolous:

 

Cliff Richard - Honky tonk angel - Self imposed ban as "saint" Cliff didn’t know that a Honky tonk angel was a Hooker! circa ‘72 -’73.

 

Blow Monkeys - The Day After You - Anti Margaret Thatcher - 1987

 

Jose Felicano & The Doors - Light My Fire ---- Wasn't this re-released in 1991 as well?

 

Roberta Flack Killing Me Softly

 

Richie Kavanagh - "Aon Focal Eile" Banned in Britain because first syllable of "Focal", (the Irish for "Word") sounded too much like "f***"... --- It's in Irish FFS!

 

 

Jose Felicano & The Doors - Light My Fire ---- Wasn't this re-released in 1991 as well?

 

The original was re-released in 1991 and reached the Top 20.

yeah that record Banned By The BBC - 1931 - 1957 - was reading about that - but that link doesnt really go into those type of records as mostly ones from the rock era - tho i do see gloomy sunday on the list...think there was a bbc4 documentary of naughty things the bbc didnt agree on in the 1940s/1950s tho i didnt get to see it and i dont know if still on disc.
