thanks so much for watching! ☺
Which songs on the list surprised you?
"Jet airliner" banned? Crazy...
Same, Jet Airliner
Rocky Mountain High by John Denver was banned in Canada because of "high" mistaken as a drug reference when Denver meant a natural high instead.
None of them! I’m an aging hippy, so I was damned from Lola onward. From my perspective, they’re all great tunes. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
@@spilladabaliaaaAnd now the “high” is legal here! No more skulking around the Tyendinaga Mohawk reservation where the Devil’s Lettuce was sold by the indigenous people could do what they wanted on the rez, and it was on the way to my daughter’s home. They have shrooms too, but they’re not legal yet … and old hippies never die! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
I was born in ‘49 and got to live through the 1950-2000 music. It was a GREAT time to be alive and hear it first hand.
Me too 😊
I am 68 and have heard every one of these songs on the radio a hundred times over the years.
The ,70s were awesome. Born in the 50s I was lucky enough to go through them
God knows what sick minds these censors had but the majority of us never really thought about the meanings of these lyrics. Just accepted and enjoyed the songs. I still love this era today. If you listen to some of the crap around today you will hear resl hatred and longing for violence. Are they banned? No I don't think they are. Long live the 70s. I'd do anything to be back there.
The Charlie Daniels Band had 2 70's hit songs censored by radio, "Uneasy Rider" and "The Devil Went Down To Georgia". The words "ass" in "Uneasy Rider" and "bitch" in "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" were bleeped out, though some brave radio station played it uncensored version.
I see nothing wrong with these songs
Different times back then
No "Give Ireland back to the Irish" by Wings? Banned by the BBC and also widely in the US. Not surprisingly it was a #1 hit in Ireland.
Short People by Randy Newman was banned by some stations. Somewhere I have a newspaper article about the ban.
He was short himself! I think the song was meant to be ironic. Hardly offensive though to be fair.
Got a UA-cam video? Use the word "BANNED" in the title. You'll make millions.
It's about the stations banning the songs, like a section of "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits
Lola is one of my favourite ever songs but love all of them, btw I was a teenager in the 70's
Timothy - The Bouys
Share the Land - The Guess Who
Don't forget DOA by Bloodrock
@@petercena9497 any clue on why " share the land" would be on this list? 😂Cmon .
@@czechmate784 Several stations banned it for promoting communism so they said.
I remember a Casey Kasem broadcast where he just skipped playing the song and went on to the next.
@@petercena9497 my GOD .. WTF how silly 😂.this is almost as bad as banning " jet airliner".. and I still don't know what the hell's going on about that...
Wow, how could you miss "High, High, High" by Wings?
I remember it being on the radio in my area for about ten days . . .
I got to hear all of the real lyrics from all these artists.
Timothy should have been no. 1. Written by Rupert Holmes with his intention for the song to be banned. It was eventually but not before it was a hit.
I have never known these as banned songs.
If these songs were banned in the 70s, why did I still hear them or have albums with them?
He is talking about radio play
Imagine was never banned in South Africa. The album The Wall by Pink Floyd was.
Imagine was blacklisted by the Bush administration after the 9/11 Attacks.
I never knew "Jet Airliner" was banned. I seem to recall Paul Simon's Kodachrome being banned for the lyric about "all the crap I learned in high school"
which basically is correct.... I learnt a lot of crap in High School that never was relevant for the rest of my life... while some important life skills were never taught.
I still listen to both the Steve Miller Band version and the Paul Pena version of "Jet Airliner".
I don't listen to commercial radio no way.
I love Steve Miller ♥️
Banned? I still hear these songs on the radio in their original recording.
Surprised that D.O.A. by Bloodrock wasn't on the list.
Wow I remember that song we would play it on the juice box where all your roller skating when I was a little kid❤
Apparently I grew up in a progressive city as I heard all of these while growing up. I even remember when you could still hear, "who the fuck are you," on radio in the Who classic.
Might depend what you were listening too. FM was a lot more relaxed than AM
God Save the Queen banned but they managed to sing Pretty Vacant on TV 😀
what about Anarchy in the UK?
@@Tanzadog1 Anarchy is of course brilliant but I’m referring to the way Johnny pronounces ‘vacant’!!!
How about : REDBONE We were all wounded at Wounded Knee.
SERGE GAINSBOURGH AND JANE BIRKIN Je t'aime.....moi non plus
Sex Pistols GSTQ is a Classic. But they’re all good songs,all 10 of them.
In Palm Springs they banned "kottacrome because of the word "crap"
In England, they banned it because "Kodachrome" was a brand name.
Link Ray's purely instrumental song "Rumble" was banned on the radio for sounding too violent. Weird.
I HATE Imagine! Not so much for the lyrics but because of the syrupy melody and outright sappy vocals.
Also, IMO, Pink Floyd is monumentally boring and pretentious.
I agree with that first statement, but I really love Pink Floyd
You missed two Paul McCartney & Wings songs, Hi Hi Hi & Give Ireland back to the Irish, also the Judge Dread 'Big' series of songs, Magic Roundabout, Jasper Carrott
It was the Coca Cola company that objected to the lyric in “Lola”, not the BBC.
Nice catch, and thanks for that clarification. didn't realize i made that mistake.
Which is funny, all the song bands and employees on the air, you got to rehear it unbanned by 1980s, but in the 2000s they split songs yet again. 98rock in Baltimore never once blocked any music. Except tge F word
And yet, one of our local radio stations plays My Sharona every day, even though it's about having sex with a teenaged girl, and that's OK. WTF?
Lola banned for product placement. Subject matter not a problem.
Was this an American thing, I remember listening to all these Songs in the 70s on AM Radio? The only Song I remember being banned was in Music Class in 71 by my gr. 6 Music Teacher (she was a Nun), Stay awhile by The Bells, she flipped out after hearing 1/2 of the 1st Verse. It made me love it even more &I still giggle when I think about it.
Nah American and anything the BBC didn't like in Britain
No No Song" by Ringo Starr was banned in some places.
"No possions too."
Didn't he own 75 acres of land and a big house? Practice what you preach.
So who actually did the banning? Who is this mysterious entity that bans things?
I just listened to the Joe Simon tune....its not THAT suggestive at all.
Have you done a banned songs from the 80s? I can think of a few that may surprise people
John Lennon Imagine was a really good song Lennon is a Genius. Steve Miller Band Jet Airliner is a cool song
Imagine was written by Yoko Ono
@@lizdavis-w9c Imagine was written by Marx and Engels - it basically just being the Communist Manifesto put to music by John
My Ding-A-Ling by Chuck Berry
that should have been banned just for stupidity 😁
John Lennon singing about Peace is like Mike Tyson speaking to Rhodes scholars. Just ask John’s first battered wife.
Who Are You?; by The Who was way worse, but not banned.
Local was not banned !!!!
Typical Americans not only dislike Brutish Bands breaking America but are so sensitive
What about JUNGLE FEVER ???
John Lennon's *Imagine* is not about peace and unity, it's about atheism and communism.
yep Marx & Engels Communist Manifesto summarised and given a melody by JL
What about Eric Clapton's COCAINE 🤔
J.J. Cale wrote that one
@@fcamsterdam8941
WHO'S J.J CALE. ??
@fcamsterdam8941 OH OK CLAPTON POPULARIZED IT
I NEVER HEARD OF JJ CALE HE HAD SOME CAREER WRITING FOR NUMEROUS ARTISTS GRAMMY AWARD WINNER DEAD AT 74. THANK FOR BRINGING JJ CALE TO MY ATTENTION
Of course we all know the wonderful Christian values followed by South Africans in the 70s.
I think it should all be censored except for Italian operas. Because one doesn't know what they're singing. Unless of course you know Italian. Then you can listen to anything else other than songs that are sung in Italian. Get the idea?
so so wrong
