I Love A Man In Uniform – Gang Of Four

Group of Four is a British post-punk band that already got censored from the airwaves for its 1977 song, “He’s a Tourist.” However, this was not the last time that this has happened. Five years after that, the band released a song called “I Love a Man in Uniform” under an album called “Songs of the Free.” Even though it topped the charts, the song was considered inappropriate since the Falklands War had just erupted at the time.

Burn My Candle – Shirley Bassey

Shirley Bassey released her first ever single in 1956. She was only 19 years old when she wowed us with “Burn My Candle.” The truth is that she did not write it in the hopes of standing out, but this was what happened in the end. Radio stations banned it because it allegedly had suggestive lyrics. Back then, she had no idea why this even came up. The innocent young lady must have been shocked to hear that it was banned!
