God Save the Queen - #SexPistols
This #controversial #punk #song was denied airplay by #BBC in 1977 due to its criticism of the #BritishGovernment–despite the fact that it had reached number two in the BBC’s own charts. Later, #police #harassed the band when it performed the song from a boat on the Thames.

Walk Like an Egyptian - #TheBangles (September 1986).
The #song was #banned by both #BBC in 1991 & #ClearChannelCommunications in 2001. The purpose of this was to avoid offending those who would relate this song & its references to #Egypt to the conflicts in the #MiddleEast.
