Which Uk Top 40 Hits Of The Past Wouldn't Be Allowed To Be Played On Radio Today Because Of The Lyrics?

[dave50]

Not because of the artist, the lyrics. I can think of two at the moment. Goodness gracious me by Sophia Loren and Peter sellers. Jilted john by jilted john. Probably also young girl by Gary pucket. 

[saintpeter48]

Melting Pot by Blue Mink

 

[barry1010]

There is nothing wrong with Young Girl.  She lied about her age and when he found out he sent her packing.

[rowanwitch]

Young girls.   Sparks

And pretty much everything by Gary glitter

[barry1010]

Never Do a Tango with an Eskimo - Alma Cogan.

Eskimo is considered offensive now, although some still refer to themselves as Eskimo.

In the Summertime, Munjo Jerry because of the line 'have a drink, have a drive', not 'if her daddy's poor you can do what you feel'.

[Ken4155]

Big 6, Big 7, Big 8, Big 10, in fact, almost everything by Judge Dread.

[237SJ]

I`ve recently heard In The Summertime and Young Girl played on local radio. 

[-SharonA-]

I shot the sheriff.

[theshedman]

Jeepster by T Rex because of the last line maybe.   It was banned straight away in South Africa when it came out.

[10ClarionSt]

Olivers' Army has been doctored for radio to omit the lines:

All it takes is one itchy trigger

One more widow one less white n****r.

They just replay the lines:

Call careers information

Have you got yourself an occupation?

Although on YouTube the original full version is available.

[rowanwitch]

Oh my, how could I forget Judge Dread

[barry1010]

Judge Dread is tame compared to rap etc

[Buenchico]

A good selection here:

My own suggestion for the list:

[ToraToraTora]

Milk and Alcohol possibly

[MandyMooMoo]

They just seem to beep/skip the offending lyrics these days. Money for nothing by Dire Straits was on the radio and the offending fa***t line was missing. Half the rubbish my children listen to is about s£x/drugs/violence and suchlike and they get airtime perhaps with an odd word removed.

[ynnafymmi]

Lana Del Ray possibly in her song Cola in the first line she claims her cat tastes of cherry cola.

[mushroom25]

Island Girl by Elton John - it's not been in his set list since 1990.

[Prudie]

So hypocritical, all these in case they upset our new found sensitivities and yet we are now so liberal that we can her the c word on TV and in film almost daily, violence and gore beyond comprehension, the F  word on radio 4 etc etc Seriously 🤣 It *** me off!!!
