Songs That Are Banned:

"Living in the '70s (Album)"
Six of the ten tracks on the band's debut album were banned by the Federation of Australian Commercial Broadcasters for their sex and/or drug references: "Toorak Cowboy", "Whatever Happened to the Revolution?", "You Just Like Me Cos I'm Good in Bed", "Hey What's the Matter", "Motorcycle B***h" and "Smut". Interestingly, :It's a bit rough when, as a band, they release an album (produced by Ross Wilson) that results in more than half of it being banned from airplay by broadcasting authorities. The album sold quite well at the time in spite of this ruling.
