Songs banned by the BBC.... and why.

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

This Smiths single “I started something I couldn’t finish” got pulled shortly before release because it contained the lines:
“And the pain was enough
To make a shy bald Buddhist
Reflect and plan a mass murder….’’

The planned release of the single was a week or so after Michael Ryan went on the rampage with a gun in Hungerford, Wiltshire.

Instead, “Stop me if you think that you’ve heard this one before” was released as a single, using the same planned video as “I started something…..” with the newer song played over the film,

BBC banned the Sex Pistols in 1978 because John Lydon outed Jimmy Sadvile as a nonce.

 

[Bill Walker]

It was never meant to be racist. It was about just wanting to go back to basics and being a primitive man. But in today's woke society maybe.

King Kong man
Voodoo man
swinging around in coconut trees

All sang in a mock Carribbean accent.

Definitely banned.

Was that when they listened to what they recorded?

There wasn’t much of the Bollocks album they could play!

That interview with Lydon was never broadcast at the time because of the Savile comment

Most probably because BBC hierarchy were in the same paedophile ring as Sadvile, and I bet several high court judges, high rank police officers, politicians, catholic priests and even some members of the Royal family were involved. I'm not saying king Charlie was/is a kiddy fiddler but Andy most definitely is.

Charlie and Maggie Thatcher were friends with Sadvile, talk about protection, wow! No wonder he never got banged to rights. They both used to ask Sadvile for advice, fuckin' hell.

Sickens me how many nonces hide behind their profession who can so easily get their hands on children to abuse them to satisfy their sordid sexual gratification.

 

[Winchester]

The Who's Squeeze Box ,
That was banned due to the chorus of
"Im and out and in out " etc
The Beeb thought as Mama wore a Squeeze box on her chest it some how
Alluded to Mama having sex with her Husband regularly
Ffs

 

[mexico1970]

Song about hugging a fat lass and using chalk to mark where you have been, BBC didn't like it so they banned it.

I'm sure I saw Chuck Berry sing My Ding-a-ling on TOTP back in the day. Though age does fuck up the memory.

IIRC yes he did, like a lot of songs it was banned part way through it's chart run after they realised ding a ling was a willie.
