With all the censorship I always have a chuckle when Radio 2 plays Lou Reid’s Take a walk on the wild side, line “She never lost her head even giving head”, seems to have avoided censorship all the years
I always smile at Squeeze 'Cool for cats'..."I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone"
Probably never been played on radio.
Back in '82, the BBC banned "6 months in a leaky boat" by a Kiwi band ( SplitEnz) for a song that had nothing to do with the Falklands.

Two Ronnies in the golf club:
"Are you a town member or a country member?"
"I'm a country member."
"Ah yes, I do remember."
Amazed they got away with that in the 70s or 80s.

Looked it up but can’t find it anywhere. Hope it’s not mythical. If it wasn’t them it should have been!

Except, of course, that is not Frank Zappa singing. This is Zappa…Probably never been played on radio.

He also once wrote a very beautiful jazz melody, that would have been assured to bring him income for cover versions, had he not decided to name it “I Promise Not To Come In Your Mouth”.

You're all assuming people were more prudish back then.
I'm not so sure...I think everyone knew the score, but the words/lyrics deliberately had 2 meanings to get around censorship.
One of the reasons 30s blues was disapproved of was not only the racist element but that it often had sexual innuendo in the lyrics.I'm not so sure...I think everyone knew the score, but the words/lyrics deliberately had 2 meanings to get around censorship.
More recently I remember on Ken Bruce's Radio 2 prog, chat about TV presenter Kirsty Allsopp being the object of someone's desire, when he read out a comment 'now Sarah Beeny, she can flog my semi anytime.'

There was something on the radio about fish fingers, people were texting in about it, the DJ read out " I remember getting fish fingers behind the bike sheds after a school disco"...then realised what it meant and said "Sorry, I shouldn't have read that out"
Someone pranked BBC Radio Ulster with a Jimmy Savile prank text:"He fixed it for me to milk a cow blindfolded," claims the text.
