Songs That Are Banned:
"Christmas at Ground Zero," "Weird Al" Yankovic
This was banned because of the cheerful way the song is and the lyrics are about Nuclear Destruction which is not cheerful.
Submitted by: Paul Warren
Super Long Pop Songs:
"Breakaway,"Kelly Clarkson - Length: 10:00
This is the actual length of the full version of the song, although the album contains a considerably shorter edit that is only 3:57 in length. Kelly says she plans to release a re-issue of the album that will contain the full-length version. Seriously, folks.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Christmas at Ground Zero" by "Weird Al" Yankovic
The Lyrics:
It's Christmas at Ground Zero, now the missiles are on their way. What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked on this jolly holiday.
Why:
This song sounds very cheerful, but many people took this song too serious that it became a banned song. Why make a Christmas song about anhilation? The Holidays are depressing enough already!
