Do You Know Why These Songs Were Banned? Well, We Do…

Radio stations have something of a trigger finger; they’ve been quick to censor or fully ban songs and records for as long as they’ve been playing them. But that doesn’t mean that the reasons are always justifiable or even make sense. These are songs that have all been banned from radio or television airplay. Why? You’ll soon find out…

(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction – The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones have been around for a while. And their early days were among their most “devious.” Their music was being highly censored, and back in 1965, when they were performing on the radio variety show ‘Shindig!’ the song “Satisfaction” became something of a problem. The line “trying to make some girl” was met with real criticism for its sexual innuendos and statements about commercialism. The song was thus banned from getting air time on that radio station. Ironically, when The Rolling Stones performed at the Super Bowl in 2006, this was actually the only song that didn’t have to be censored.
