Carl Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Working on some Frank Zappa Songfacts, and this looks like a good new category: Songs About Censorship. Not songs that were censored, but are about it. Any songs you can think of that fit this category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Banned in the U.S.A. - 2 Live Crew It's a reference to the decision in a court case that one of their previous albums was too explicit for release, but that court decision was later dismissed.

Farin Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Die Ärzte have a wonderful 'song about censorship', unfortunately it's in German how about Hush ~ Tool? or "I bet you they won't play this song on the radio" by the Monty Python boys?
