"Je' t'aime mon non plus"went straight to No1 when the BBC banned it, people were listening to Pirate Stations at this time. Getting banned best publicity any record could have.
When people get all uptight about people today being 'woke' or some other BS this video is great for showing that previous generations were just as sensitive as we are accused of being
@@EnglishLadyou have no idea ? Mary Whitehouse who was close to thatcher led a moral council on TV and music shows and got huge amounts banned from airing etc. for example 62 Bob Dylan song "baby,let me follow you down" was banned for using the term "god almighty", monster mash was banned for offending Christians and being on the occult(thriller was banned many places also), my generation was banned for stuttering incase it offended people with stutters or stammers.
@@EnglishLadFor example they won’t even let me say this. Or this. On a major TV channel. While I’m a government minister. You can’t say anything. You can’t even say this, on a Friday night at a chippie with your willie out swinging it around like a windmill. You can’t do anything these days. Coming over here, taking our jobs, the Normans. Those dirty ship people. Though you can’t say that anymore. Building castles in Wales, creating Domesday books, those rotten Normans coming over here, assuming an oligarchical ruling class turning our Latin system to French. You can’t say that in a national exam. Standards dropping. Proper British standards like 12 of everything. Don’t even know the 12x tables. I mean my grandparents did. Spirit of the Blitz. Nicking stuff mostly. Can’t say that today. Can’t say anything. Needle naddle nu. Can’t say that. Offensive to people that can’t name more than two. Can’t get the wood. Any old iron? Can’t say this either. Mouth clamps everywhere! Mostly all those young girls. On their phones. Chat snapping. Can’t say hey miss! Here’s a couple of juicy ripe melons. Can’t say that. It’s the offense industry. Destroying subtle British comedy. Can’t say nutthin
My Generation was banned for the stuttering in the lyrics. I wonder what Roger Daltrey must have thought when he watched Ronnie Barker on "Open All Hours" just over a decade later !
Relax getting *that* score. Reminds me of that question on the american who wants to be a millionaire getting the same % on an equally suggestive question.
George Formby I believe was banned more times than anyone else. What a great honour that is. It's great fun looking up guessing who in on that list. Many wouldn't think possible. 🙂
Loooooool so funny that Relax ironically scored what it did 🤣
"Sixty nine, dudes!"
Nice.
"The Monster Mash" was considered too morbid? A humorous doo-wop novelty song?
It’s a beautiful Valentine’s Day song.

Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the crypt kickers.
I have it on 45 - my mum bought it...she has great taste, except in men!
Good category

The only thing that changed between then and now is the idea of what qualifies as offensive. It's gone completely the other way now.

Don’t talk rubbish, Woke is extreme leftists who can’t take anything offensive

No Chuck Berry with My Dingaling
Wasn't banned!
They didn't include George Formby with his "Little Stick Of Blackpool Rock" !!😂
... I think he got away with "When I'm Cleaning Windows" !

@@Whiteshirtloosetie Yes, Genesis are my favourite band and it was a total shock that Phil Collins' first solo hit was banned !
... mind you, I sometimes wish they had banned all his solo songs so he would spend more time back with the group. 😂
Monster Mash - 1973?!
Yep occult as it didn't follow Christian values 🙄
@@petesmart1983 What @bonzoboots means is, it was released in 1962. 1973 was a re release.
It didn’t chart in the UK until that year.
@@christophermcbride9559 Many thanks for that, I didn't know that.
No Gary Glitter?
