Love To Love You, Baby – Donna Summer
Do not worry if you are not a fan of this 17-minute single. The Donna Summer hit came out in 1975. TIME magazine called the song a “marathon of 22 orgasms.” When asked if she touched herself while working on the song, the musician simply said, “Yes, I touched my knee.” This answer did not amuse everyone. The track got banned from various North American radio stations. The good news is that the disco hit still carried mass appeal.
Atomic – Blondie
Blondie made its way to the list of songs banned by the BBC during the First Gulf War. When the conflict erupted in 1990, the BBC tried to weed out all the songs that it considered inappropriate. Even though “Atomic” came out 11 years before this, it did not make it immune from bans. According to the BBC, it does not make sense. On top of that, the title was considered too vulgar for airtime when there was a war going on. Just so you know, the title was referring to sexual explosiveness!
