Almost. They weren't banned, but they were all on a list of tracks, published by the largest owner of radio stations in the US, which deemed them to be 'lyrically questionable'. But in what context?
When played backwards gave out a message.... Gateway to heaven when played backwards says some thing like I love satan Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
Travel seems to be a theme in most of them, were they deemed inappropriate during Iraq or some foreign war?
No, I think that was what Willy was referring to. Getting very close. There are seven AC/DC tracks on the list: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Hells Bells Highway to Hell Safe in New York City Shoot to Thrill Shot Down in Flames T.N.T. Bizarrely, Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles is also on it.
Were they all banned after 9/11, because of references to either explosions, death, or islam/arabic countries?
Got it, 9/11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Clear_Channel_memorandum Why on earth Imagine should be on the list, I can't 'imagine'.
Man, there's a lot of obvious and 'not so obvious' songs on that list! OK.... here's one you ought to know: In Squeeze's "Up The Junction", what time did she have the baby?
Yep. The number of people that remember the time but not the extra half hour made it worth asking! Off you go!
Sticking with the music theme, I'm sure everyone over 40 remembers the 'Secret Lemonade Drinker' adverts by R.White's. The singer in the ads had a far more famous son, who is his son?...
That's the one, his father, Ross McManus starred in the original advert in 1973 and young 'Elvis' was on the backing vocals...
OK, a non musical one... In a full 24-hour day, how many times would the hands of an analogue clock overlap?
