Baby, It’s Cold Outside – Frank Loesser
This classic holiday song went on to win the 1949 Oscar for Best Original Song. Despite this, it has earned a fair bit of controversy over the years. People say that its lyrics encourage sexual assault and promote a lack of consent. In 2018, a Cleveland radio station said that it took off the song for being inappropriate. The big radio stations in Canada also took it off playlists since it did not meet their societal standards.
Love Game – Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has definitely come a long way! She is now considered to be a musical and cultural icon. Even so, many of her songs have been banned by radio stations. “Love Game” got censored thanks to its very suggestive themes. The ban had its eye on a lyric about a “disco stick,” which we will not expound on some more. The pop star has also been banned in Lebanon because “Judas” felt blasphemous.
