Since Ri appears to have got the thread, I don't fear a JKB breakdown just yet so will let it run for a while. John might come back with another stab at a Beatles track; there are at least 4 and then Paul McCartney went on to create another couple in his post-Beatles career. Both songs by The Who that fall into the category have been chalked off. Paul Simon's was a one-off as, I believe, was Lola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably in a roundabout way, it would be due to lyrics but, as I say, Sade used similar lyrics in a very similar context to Frankie Goes To Hollywood but her record didn't make the list. If George Formby was doing his thing today and recorded When I'm Cleaning Windows or My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock, they would certainly not make the list. Likewise with most that have been identified so far; definitely the ones from the sixties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 2 hours ago, John Findlay said: My ding a ling, Chuck Berry? It's not on the list I'm looking at but I'm sure it's in the broader sphere. To put anyone out of their misery - if they're still paying attention - I started with a list of songs that were banned by the BBC when, or shortly after, they were released. Paul Simon for having the brand name "Kodachrome" breaching the BBC's product placement/advertising guidelines. Likewise for Lola, which originally mentioned Coca Cola (later changed to Cherry Cola). The Beatles were banned for a number of songs interpreted as referencing drug taking. My Generation was banned not because the "f-f-f-fade away" was a clear dodge of them intending to say, "**** the Hibs" but because the stammering could have been interpreted as mocking people with stammers (or, it may have been that it was an imitation of a young being off his chops on pills.) FGTH's Relax was famously banned when Mike Read, Mike Read, 275 and 285, Mike Read, Mike Read Nashnul Radio One took offence to the line "When you want to come." I think this was only months after Sade had been singing, "Touch me (your love is king); I'm coming (your love is king)". Perhaps the suits at the BBC didn't know that girls could do such a thing? The Pill wasn't banned by the BBC but I don't think it would have crossed their radar to even think about banning it. Not a big C&W operation, the beeb. It was banned in the states, though. The records say that Invisible Sun was banned but the only way I'd have ever heard it was on BBC radio so I don't know what's going on there. Walk Like an Egyptian was widely played when released but was one of a list of songs blacklisted during the Gulf War. If I'd let that nomination pass, I'd have had to accept Waterloo by Abba. That would have added to the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember lying in my bed in a Bruntsfield flat thinking about heading along to Napier when I heard this event happen. My thoughts then were 'What a !' My thoughts haven't changed much over the years. Other than now to consider him a UKIP (formerly Tory) . What the actual ****? Where's the asterisks gone? I assumed would be replaced by asterisks...not just a blank space. For the record, I consider Mike Read to be an onanist.

I'd quickly googled and seen "ban" so gave you a thumbs up but had that nagging suspicion that I'd heard it on Radio 1 very often while it was in the charts. I didn't think it was that great a song but The Police were at their absolute peak so they were getting maximum airplay. Hunners o' listens. Agree with you on Mike Read anaw.
