Thread Name: banned songs
Subject: RE: banned songs
In the 1970s my True-love lived in Asia for a while. When he sang on radio he had to submit all the words to the songs he planned to sing. The result was that the Beatles songs were banned outright. Blues lines like, "...the pillow where my good gal used to lay..." were cut. "Leaving on a Jet Plane" was out because it was obvious the singer shared a bed with his "girlfriend". Hank Williams and many country songs from others were a problem. The list went on.
Cheers, Joy
