Story about this misheard lyric by: Devil Jones

I thought Jarvis Cocker was trying desperately to be 'down with the funk' therefore coined this term - but instead of sounding funktastic, ended up sounding rather 'fruity', shall we say?

"Disco 2000"
The Dated Lyrics:
Disco me up in the year 2000
Why They're Dated:
1. The year 2000 has come and gone. 2. Disco was already dead (I think) by the 80s.

Songs That Are Banned:

"Sorted for E's and Wizz"
Banned by the BBC in 1997 because of it's references to rave drugs (despite the fact that they are mentioned in a negative context). The band also drew flack for an insert in the single, which featured instructions on how to make a paper wallet to store drugs in. The single still managed to hit #2 in the UK .
