Way back in the early days of juke boxes, many had the ability to record as well as play back the supplied records. Naturally, the crude recording device was rough, rough and crude as the drunken songs recorded to them. Apparently sticking such an amazing entertainment machine in some backwoods booze house went wrong. So, the juke box was limited to only prerecorded material, censoring the common folk (the bawdy drunks at least). Who knows where we would be now if more folk had access to recording devices back then?

The tape was ordered by "undercover" vice police, for a fictional stag party. They goaded him into doing it, so that they could prove that he would do that kind of stuff, so they could arrest himjancivil wrote:what he actually did was record an audio tape with a woman he knew doing fake arousal cries and moans, squeaky up and down bedsprings etc.
One would think California is a place where anything goes, but it wasn't like that in the early 60's

If I remember rightly, the BBC banned Split Enz' Six Months in a Leaky Boat during the Falklands war. Of course, being a Kiwi band, the song was absolutely nothing to do with Britain's conflicts and Naval battles.

the stones on Ed Sullivan having to change Let's Spend the Night Together to Let's Spend Some Time Together, the eyerolling, the looks on their faces...classic (song starts 3:35 in)
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

The song Hi Hi Hi by Paul MacCartney. Made me laugh. Kinky guitar, kinky bass, kinky lyrics, pumpy beat. Skillful songwriter that Paul? What!!! You disagree? Here's a quote from the songfacts website:
"This song was banned by broadcasters for what they described as "Inappropriate sex and drugs references." Fair enough - he's singing about getting high, using his "sweet banana" and "doing it" to her!"
