Due to the ingrained political correctness in the American culture there are certain musical compositions that are essentially banned from American radio. Here is my short list with brief explanationa of why I think they are "banned." This an effort to lighten things up around here so join the fun and add your own.
"When A Man Loves a Woman" - Percy Sledge. Obviously, this song offends homosexuals and "animal lovers."
"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," It also uses the phrase "dikes and fairies" and we all know that when liberal themes collide, gayness wins out. So no radio for this one anymore.
"The Game of Love" - Mindbenders. This song has the Lifetime Achievement award for political incorrectness as it contains the phrase "the purpose of a man is to love a Woman and the purpose of a woman is to love a man" (!) Heresy against the Church of Political Correctness! Oh my! It doesn't get more hate filled than that.
"Out Go The Lights" by Pat Travers anyone?
What about the line in “Hotel California,” “She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends.” Is that homophobic (ha, ha, ha)?
Good ones!
“For Lady’s Only!”
“I’m An Ape Man”!
Billy Joel - Captain Jack
So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It’s like some pornographic magazine
And you smile
I’ve heard Man Loves a Woman and Game of Love on the radio. Oldies stations, really oldies for game of love. 10 Years After just never had the following to hit the oldies.
“The Pusher” is actually a very good anti-drug song...and I’ve always liked Steppenwolf.
I’ve actually had an argument with a young black kid that assumed that was some kind of racist song!
Maybe you should just listen to the oldies stations. :)
Kids! They know everything!
I ain't no Monkey
I can't climb no tree
No Brown Skinned Woman
Gonna make a Monkey out of me
Heard it yesterday morning coming home from work.
Mick Jagger - Let’s Work!!
No sittin’ down on your butt
The world don’t owe you
No sittin’ down in a rut
I wanna show you
....
Let’s work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let’s work, kill poverty
Now work your way up
...
You’re sittin’ down on your butt
And you get greedy
You start to lose your nuts
Don’t you look seedy
Can generosity bring you humility
So take a deep breath
Ain’t gonna sweat for you
Ain’t gonna sigh for you
Ain’t gonna cry for you
If you’re lazy
Ain’t gonna slave for you
Ain’t gonna hurt for you
It just won’t work for you
If you’re lazy
Come on, come on, come on
..
Get up, be free
Get down in the dirt, let’s work
Get down in the dirt and let’s work
Get down in the dirt, take off your shirt
Get down in the dirt and let’s work
Some Girls
Reminds me of the Stones’ “Hang Fire”
In the sweet old country where I come from
Nobody ever works
Yeah nothing gets done
We hang fire, we hang fire
You know marrying money is a full time job
I don’t need the aggravation
I’m a lazy slob
I hang fire, I hang fire
Hang fire, put it on the wire baby
Hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire baby, go ahead
Hang fire
We’ve got nothing to eat
We got nowhere to work
Nothing to drink
We just lost our shirts
I’m on the dole
We ain’t for hire
Say what the hell
Say what the hell, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire baby
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire baby
Doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo
Yeah ten thousand dollars, go have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire baby
Doo doo
Doo doo, hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire baby
Put it on the wire
I figured an oldie station would play WAMLAW. But where I live in central Florida the radio stations are unlistenable. You have to have satellite radio or just listen to talk radio. Its that bad.
Another good one. Keith Richards on vocals. Saw them in September, 4th time, and they’ve never sounded that good before.
Ozzy Osbourne - Thank God for the Bomb!!
Like moths to a flame
Is man never gonna change
Time’s seen untold aggression
And infliction of pain
If that’s the only thing that’s stopping war
Then thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Nuke ya, nuke ya
....
When war is obsolete
I’ll thank God for the war’s defeat
But any talk about hell freezing over
Is all said with tongue in cheek
Until the day the war drums beat no more
I thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
Thank God for the bomb
