If U Seek Amy – Britney Spears

Are you confused about why anyone would ban this song? Try saying the title as fast as you can five times. If you still do not get it, let us give you a hint. It sounds like you are spelling out four letters and the word “me.” At first, there was confusion as to whether this double entendre should be censored. This was why some American stations changed its title to “If U See Amy.” In the UK, the new title was just “Amy.”

Like A Prayer – Madonna

It is not all that unusual for a Madonna song to make people scratch their heads. The Vatican and the American Family Association both condemned its music video because it used blasphemous imagery. In fact, the pressure had been so strong that Pepsi canceled an entire advertising campaign since it featured this song. Apparently, the Pope went as far as to ask fans to boycott her concerts after it came out. Fun fact: the pop star is banned in Egypt! Russia also has a lot of restrictions on her.
