This song was originally banned in South Africa because "horses" is a slang term for heroin there, so "crazy horses" was thought to be referring to drugs

Do the dance, c'mon I know you want to

@Racing roadkill probably uses a few lines from this one. Conway, great voice, terrible dress sense.



"Trembling fingers touch forbidden places", the dirty bas.

Kitty Wells, banned by NBC Radio and The Grand Ol Opry, quite right too foul mouthed old trout.

"Lola" was banned for a time in Britain and Australia both for it's subject matter and the use of the brand name Coca Cola.

This is not a religious song, but it expresses irritation at celebrities who abuse and exploit the image of Jesus Christ on the cross, known as the Jesus Christ Pose (outstretched arms, head back).

MTV though differently and didn't play it during their regular programming

The title made this song somewhat controversial because it implied gang violence, so some radio stations refused to play it.

It's possibly the only instrumental ever to be banned on radio.

Seem to remember that this caused a bit of a stir in the 90s.

Banned from BBC Radio 1's playlist because of its perceived anarchic lyrics.
