Thread Name: Banned Music?
Subject: RE: Banned Music?
I never knew that about "Losing my religion" - weird!
Mind you, the Chart Show on ITV censored the Samshing Pumpkins video for "Today" when it showed 3 people snogging together in the long grass. And Evan Dando from the Lemonheads was not allowed to use the words "suck my dick" on a live radio broadcast, so it was changed to "duck my sick". Oh, and they censored Radiohead's "Creep", changed the phrase "fucking special" to "very special" for the radio edit. And Little Angels (naff soft rock group whose cheesy lyrics I used to have a soft spot for) got their single "Boneyard" banned during the Gulf War as it was deemed too insensitive. It was a crap song anyway.
