I don't suppose many know Give Ireland Back To The Irish by Wings. Paul McCartney was upset about the criticism some of his lyrics had been getting apparently - he'd released a single called Mary Had A Little Lamb
![]() To become 'meaningful' again he put the Ireland single out; it was instantly banned by the BBC. Strangely, Macca has left it off of all his greatest hits albums - sad, because it's a good little rocker. |

![]() In the late 60s-early 70s the Beeb went on a crusade banning any song with supposed drug/sex overtones. Even "Lucy in the Sky" was banned I think!

Yeah, as Broken said it was a bit too 'hot'. Great song.

Magic Roundabout by Jasper Carrot
I love music that would never get aired on any Brit station but when I lived in Holland I was suprised how relaxed they are. No ban there for Who The F*ck is Alice by Chubby (Royston Vasey) Brown or Sexy Motherf*cker by Prince |

I just remember them being talked about in the same breath back in my school days. |

Not banned because of drug references- contary to popular belief- it was too risque!

Wasn't there a 'fuss' made over 'A day in the life' as well?. Got banned in the states because of the line 'went upstairs and had a smoke, somebody spoke and I went into a dream'.
Lol, such petty reasons to ban, seems ludicrous these days! The song was definitely acid fuelled though.John had to replace a certain word in the lyrics of Give Peace A Chance with 'masticate' to avoid the single getting banned. |

A Day In The Life was banned by the BBC for drug references. The funny thing is, the 'had a smoke' line referred to a Woodbine ciggy

Je T'aime Moi Non Plus by Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. I used to love that song, it came out in the late 60's/early 70's and at that time I was going out with a French lad so it made it even more romantic - even though it was really rude with all the 'sex' sounds!

I don't know if this song was banned but it was by Max Romeo and was called Wet Dream. The lyrics went....."lie down girl.....(and I'm too embarrassed to type more!)
I remember my friend lending it to me when I was about 15 and when my Mum found it, she broke it in two! How embarrassed was I, trying to explain this to my friend. |
