Strange Fruit – Billie Holiday
If you are a fan of Billie Holiday, you must know how emotional and powerful this song is. It showed her horror over a lynching. When she released it in 1939, it was banned on the American airwaves thanks to its heavy and morbid content. However, people protested it because this was a topic that needed to be discussed back then. Her song “Love For Sale” was also banned because it was about prostitution.

It does not matter how popular a song is since it might still get banned by certain radio stations. Despite the fact that “Physical” was a huge hit in the United States and the United Kingdom, one line caused it some problems: “there’s nothing left to talk about unless it’s horizontally.” It did not help that the music video had a gay couple with clasped hands as they ignored Olivia Newton-John! MTV censored it for this.
