Songs Banned By The BBC

[Steve_P]

It's interesting to see what's banned and what isn't.

First, from 1969...

Interesting fact - Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood was banned on BBC radio, but not on TV.

During the first gulf war, this was but on the Banned list...

Noel Coward's 'Don't Let's Be Beastly To The Germans' was banned and technically it still is. As is this...

An interesting fact from 1970. The Kinks released a song called 'Lola' and had to change the lyrics, not because of the rather dodgy subject matter but the BBC couldn't advertise Coke on the air, so it was changed to 'Cherry Cola'.

Cheers,
