This little ditty was hidden away on the album Goats Head Soup in '72 or '73. It's as good as any Stones single from their heyday but unsurprisingly no radio station would touch it -

A lot of parents got a shock when they bought this for the little uns. (and it wasn't the 'radio edit' )

"Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstasy, Alcohol and Cocaine" didn't get this much airplay

I thought of this one, but on checking found Mary Whitehouse tried to get it banned in the UK, but failed, Maybelline was as it is a cosmetics brand

It was still controversial, and banned by many a radio station.

The Beeb didn't like this either
