Bouncers, I will start with this one, is it pro (I've used an racist word) bashing or is it as the backing vocal would suggest asking 'why oh why.' or is it simply commenting that it happens. The song is from either the late 60's or early seventies when the original skinheads were dancing to reggae.
 
Whilst the BBC got itself in a spin about Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin's heavy breathing in Je t'aime which was also banned in several other countries, this little song by great Bessie Smith 80 years ago make them sound quite prim and proper. You don't have to use your imagination.

Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue
I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to Seem like the whole world's wrong
Since my man's been gone

I need a little sugar in my bowl
I need a little hot dog on my roll
I can stand a bit of lovin', oh so bad I feel so funny,
I feel so sad

I need a little steam-heat on my floor
Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go
What's the matter hard papa
Come on and save your mama's soul
'Cause I need a little sugar, in my bowl, doggone it
I need a some sugar in my bowl

I need a little sugar in my bowl
I need a little hot dog between my rolls
You gettin' different, I've been told
Move your finger, drop something in my bowl
I need a little steam-heat on my floor
Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go
Get off your knees,
I can't see what you're drivin' at
It's dark down there looks like a snake!
C'mon here and drop somethin' here in my bowl
Stop your foolin' and drop somethin' in my bowl

A song about kiddy fiddling...

One of the Pistols songs which makes many of their right-on admirers uncomfortable, along with many others;




Morrissey causes a thousand fops to swoon and the NME to have an embolism;



Naughty title, epic video

Great song form a great album, the whole thing is done in an upbeat manner, but the content is full off child abuse, racism, troubles in N.Ireland, relationship breakups, drug busts

Yip. I used to listen to it constantly. Why oh why did I get rid of all my vinyl? Doh!
 
I love The Pistols and I enjoy this song musically - but the title and lyrics have always made me feel ill at ease...

Thin Lizzy's 'Killer On The Loose' was released just weeks after the Yorkshire Ripper had killed his 12th of his 13 victims and caused a fair bit of controversy. As did the video. The record company decided to fade out the line that ends "I'm a mad sexual rapist".



Some people they call me Jack, some people they call me insane
I'm looking for somebody and I don't even know her name
I might be looking for you wherever you may be
For there is something I've got to do to you honey and it's between you and me

Now you might think it's funny or maybe it's a joke
But you've got plenty of reason to worry honey cause you wouldn't stand a hope

There's a killer on the loose again, a killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again, a ladykiller on the loose

Now I'm not trying to be nasty or I'm not trying to make you scared
But there's a killer on the loose or haven't you heard
He'll be walking around this town just about midnight
Yes, that's Chinatown, that's right, that's right

Now you might think I'm messing or he don't exist
But honey I'm confessing I'm a mad sexual rapist

I'll be standing in the shadows of love waiting for you
Don't unzip your zipper, cause you know I'm Jack the Ripper
Now don't wail

Rastus is a (I've used an racist word) racist. Thug mugger junkie.
Black golly gob. Big horny monkey.
Pimp pusher coon. Grinning piccaninnies.
Send him home soon. Back to the trees.

Black wogs. Black wogs. Your face don't fit.
Black wogs. Black wogs. You ain't no Brits.

Ahmed is a (I've used an racist word). Curry coffee queer.
Ten to a bed. Flocking over here.
Tax-sponging canker. Smelly thieving kids.
Ponce greasy wanker. Worse than the yids.

Brown wogs. Brown wogs. Your face don't fit.
Brown wogs. Brown wogs. You ain't no Brits.

Stick together we'll all be white me and you
The only colours we need are red, right and blue.

Paddy is a moron. Spud thick Mick.
Breeds like a rabbit. Thinks with his prick.
Anything floors him if he can' fight or drink it.
Round them up in Ulster. Tow it out and sink it.

Green wogs. Green wogs. Our face don't fit.
Green wogs. Green wogs. We ain't no Brits.

If the victim ain't a soldier why should we care?

To be honest most of the stuff above is mainsteam in my opinion. Things that were unconventional got a reaction from the established media, otherwise it wisnae.

This song in response to 'Bloody Sunday' was banned by every media outlet, BBC, Radio Luxembourg and the Independent Television Authority therefore mega contraventual. Do not in any way want banal responses about it or why it was banned etc.It's a fact regarding the OP. Happy Jack by the Who was banned. Oh well.

And yet that would be far more likely to get an airing on mainstream radio today, than some of the above.

That said, almost nothing would get pronounced as formally 'banned' today. There's even stuff on kids shows that would have would have raised eyebrows not so long ago.

On the other hand, the sort of thing that's actually likely to be played, has probably got a lot narrower, and it's pretty unlikely that anything that troubled the numerous concerns of political correctness would get played in many places.
