In the realm of radio censorship, even seemingly innocuous songs have faced bans and restrictions for reasons ranging from political sensitivities to perceived obscenity. From John Lennon’s “Imagine” during times of conflict to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” sparking religious outrage, the list of prohibited tunes is extensive and surprising. Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady” and Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy” both fell under scrutiny post-9/11 for their lyrics, while Lady Gaga’s “Love Game” and Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” faced bans due to sexual content. Even classics like Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” and The Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction” weren’t spared, with associations to wars and societal norms leading to their prohibition. Whether it’s political, sexual, or simply controversial, the history of banned songs on the radio reveals the complexities of censorship in the music industry.
