Thread Name: Advice Please? - use of offensive words in songs
Subject: RE: Help: Advice Please?
I remember a few years back when I recorded a concert in Belfast that was to be transmitted by the BBC. I sang a song I had written about Enid Blyton. When the programme was transmitted the song was omitted. I got a letter from the producer saying that the song had managed to offend children, the coloured community, gays and lesbians, the British Army, people with mental handicap, alcoholics, animal lovers, South Africans, transvestites,and the population in general. I honestly thought that the song was harmless. Could this be a record?
