Cop Killer – Body Count
When it comes to controversial songs, we are not surprised to find this entry on the list. After all, the Body Count song is all about a police brutality victim who decides to take things into his own hands. It was criticized by President George W. Bush and various law enforcement agencies. With a title like “Cop Killer,” this was a given. Many people also protested it, which only helped improve its sales even more. In the end, however, the rock group got completely banned from New Zealand.

Light My Fire – The Doors
In 1967, The Ed Sullivan Show blacklisted the Doors after it failed to change this line: “Girl, we couldn’t get much higher.” This line can be interpreted to be about drug use. Jim Morrison agreed to censor himself when they were on the stage, but it looks like he could not help but use the original form. The BBC banned it 24 years later at the height of the Persian Gulf War thanks to the presence of “fire.”
