George Formby - With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock
So many of George Formby's songs are suggestive. Skirting that very fine line but the BBC felt he crossed it with this one.

Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high"

"Bodies" - Drowning Pool
It was briefly taken off of Mainstream Rock radio stations after the 9/11 attacks due to nature of the song's lyrics. The song is actually about moshing.

Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
Another Gulf War victim. This time the band's name was shortened to Massive. Did it hamper the chart potential of the track? Hard to say but it's still an epic track loved to this day.
