Feb 13 "Autograph" by Mark Scotti a parody of "Photograph" by Ringo Starr

I wrote this parody after Ringo went on a rant in October 2008, stating that he was no longer signing autographs. I sent it in to a radio station, who's staff produced and played the song on the air the very next day.. YouTube: (Windows media) (Comments)

Songs That Are Banned:

"No No Song"

Banned by a few radio stations in the U.S. in 1975 because of its mentioning of marijuana and cocaine. This was even though the lyrics say that the singer used to use these drugs but doesn't use them anymore. The song still managed to become a #3 hit in the U.S.
