Songs That Are Banned:
"Fairytale of New York," The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl
This song, which hit #1 on the Irish charts and #2 on the UK music charts on Christmas 1987 and has been a holiday staple in the UK and Ireland since, was censored in 2007 due to "questionable language" in reference to gays and women of questionable vocation. The Pogues found it "amusing" and MacColl's mother (MacColl died in 2000) thought it was "rediculous." The bans and censorship ultimately failed due to viewer/listener requests.

"Misery Business" by Paramore
The Dirty Lyrics:
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I wanted him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God it just feels so good
'Cause I got him where I wanted him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels sooo good.
But I got him where I wanted him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God it just feels so good
'Cause I got him where I wanted him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels sooo good.
Why They're Dirty:
The whole chorus sounds like she's talking about having mindblowing sex with someone's boyfriend and then throwing it back in the poor girl's face. Hence the "I got him where I wanted him" and, above all, the "God, it just feels sooo good".
