Garrett Morris: Now, I'd like to speak about the subject of a certain Mick Jagger - of the Rolling Stones. ... And I'm going to talk about the song he sang -- a song in which he sings these very words: "Black girls - just want to have sex - all night long." ...

Now, Mr. Jagger, there is only one question I want to ask you -- Jaggs. ... And you better have the answer, man, you better have the answer, since you have besmirched the character of black women. Therefore, here is my question, Jaggs..........Where are all of these black broads, man? ... Hey, like, where ARE they, baby? You got any phone numbers for me, baby? ... Please send 'em to me......Thank you. ...

A self-ordained professor’s tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
“Equality,” I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now.

“My Back Pages” Bob Dylan 1964

"I'd Love To Change The World" Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. While this tune is a tribute to socialism as it seems to be promoting "tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no rich no more,"...

I think he meant that as a condemnation not an endorsement. That's how I always took it in the context of the whole song.

we all know that when liberal themes collide, gayness wins out. So no radio for this one anymore.

Except when it comes to welcoming Muslims.

"Short People" by Randy Newman?

You'll never hear Rednecks by Randy Newman on the radio.

Rednecks

It shoves the Race Card in northeastern liberals face and makes them eat it.

John Entwistle - Made In Japan

I went down to my tailor, to get myself a suit, and to measure
It’s been a long long time since I looked like a gentlemen of leisure
He spent an awful lot of time on my inside leg
You don’t get that kind of treatment when you buy stuff of the peg
When I finally picked it up and saw the label inside
I saw a sight that made my mouth gape open wide.

It said made in Japan
Made in Japan
Their ain’t nothing made here in this country anymore
Try the made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore
Made in Japan

I went along to the showroom to buy myself a secondhand car
I didn’t have much money so I knew I wouldn’t get very far
The salesman said “ how much do intend to spend,
You only get what you pay for, in the end”
He said “you can’t afford a Bentley or a Cadillac
But take a look at this motor I’ve got out back.

It said made in Japan
Made in Japan
Their ain’t nothing made here in this country anymore
Try the made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore
Made in Japan

Me and my girl last week we went to church and got wed
I didn’t bother cost so I decided I’d get married instead
We went to Miami for the honeymoon
I couldn’t wait to get her in the hotel room
But when she came out of the bathroom,
My knees turned to jelly
Well I saw what she had tattooed just below her belly.

It said made in Japan
Made in Japan
Their ain’t nothing made here in this country anymore
Try the made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore
Made in Japan

“You’ll never hear Rednecks by Randy Newman on the radio. “

First time I’ve heard it and you’re right. Not a lot of airplay for that one.

Randy Newman has a bunch of unPC ditties.

Rednecks

Randy Newman is a big-time Lefty, but at least he calls out the Northerners’ hypocrisy on “Rednecks.”

"The Pusher" is actually a very good anti-drug song...and I've always liked Steppenwolf.

Not so much anti-drug, as it was anti-hard drug.

The dealer was okay in their song, because all he did was deal weed and pills. The pusher was the bad guy for pushing the stuff the dealer didn't (the assumption being cocaine, heroin, etc...).

Everybody knows Otis Redding’s classic song of laziness “Dock of the Bay”, but he also did this one about stealing chickens which is unplayable today...

Hagar’s band Chickenfoot has a song that calls out Obama by name.

“They lied about Elvis,
they lied about Hussein,
they lied about Obama....”

It’s a pretty good tune too, but it will NEVER be on the radio.

Frankie Laine’s “”Tell Me a Story” because of child abuse. When it’s played, some of the final lines, bracketed here, are usually edited out (”Here’s a tale you’ll never forget.” [Whack! whack! whack! “Ow, my tail’s all red!”] “And now get up to bed!”) And Charlie Drake’s “My Boomerang Won’t Come Back,” presumably because it’s a funny song concerning Australian aborigines.

Bizarre, but not ban-worthy. Thanks.
