In the Air Tonight - #PhilCollins (January 1981).

This seemingly harmless #song by Phil Collins has been #banned on 2 separate occasions. The first time was in 1991, after #BBC forbid 67 songs from airplay due to their perceived connection to the war occurring in the #PersianGulf. The second time was in 2001, when #ClearChannelCommunications #prohibited 162 songs from the airwaves after the #911Attacks.

Radio Radio - #ElvisCostello & the Attractions (December 1977)

Elvis Costello and the Attractions were #prohibited from playing “Radio, Radio” on #SaturdayNightLive in 1977 because they believe the song expressed #AntiMedia sentiments. A few seconds into performing a different song, they rebelliously switched to “Radio, Radio” without telling anyone. Costello was reportedly #banned from the #SNL show for 12 years.
