Song Banned From Airplay.

Today we really see a song that have been stopped from getting airplay, but in the past there have been many songs that have been stopped of one reason or another. Reasons might be because of copyright infringement as mention in previous posts or because of explicit contents. Explicit contents mean the using of offensive language or other things (like disturbing images and drug content) in a song lyrics or the using of nudity in a music video. There were many songs that were banned for sexual contents which include Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood just to name one. In this song the was band from airplay because of the line "when you're gonna come" which was talk about sexual climax. In 1975 a song by the name "The Pill" by Loretta Lynn's got banned because it referenced the pill as birth control. Also in 1968 the song by The Door "Unknown Soldier" banned for airplay because of it anti-war messages. One of the most famous band of all times the Rolling Stones hit singles "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" was banned for the use of sexual suggestive in the lyrics.
