There are SOME I can understand, but... WHAT?? ???

Some of my favourite songs are in there! What's so wrong with Rooster and Sunday Bloody Sunday? ??? Those songs examine the horrors of historical events and remind us how lucky we are to be living in these relatively comfortable times.
I was really surprised to see "Crash and Burn" in there. Didn't they know it's just a metaphor for having an emotional breakdown? Even I knew that and I'm an Aspie.

I think this list was made right after September 11, and it looks like they picked out a lot of titles that have anything to do with fire, planes, or burning.  Unfortunately, you have to actually listen to some lyrics before you can tell what a song is about; not just by the title, those morons.

If I'm thinking right, 311 "Down" is about being 'cool' and content with something...at least that's what it seems like from the chorus...."know that we have always been down, down..."

"Walk Like An Egyptian"? What the poop?

Yeah... "Walk Like An Egyptian" confused me greatly.

As did "Wipeout"... does that song even HAVE lyrics?

I agree Leb, some dont make much sense...

Too weird. Cat Stevens???? come on I think we sang "morning has broken" at church when I was little. I smell.....PARANOIA!!

yeah i saw that...it almost seems like they just flipped a coin to see if it was inappropriate or not. ::)

Maybe they just picked songs they didn't like.

This list came out right after Septemer 11th, so most of the songs are related to it...

all of these songs have some thing to do with either Airplanes, Tuesdays, the middle east, disasters, fire, or in the lyrics they talk about people dying, some in plane crashes, (American pie, fire and rain, Ironic, daniel, last kiss, dead mans curve)..America by Neil Diamond has the line "On the boats and on the planes, theyre coming to America", and Walk like an egyptian was banned because some of the hyjackers were Egyptian

I think they left out a few key songs...the theme song to Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Mary Had a Little Lamb.  But I'm glad they remembered What a Wonderful World.  Geesh, that song has "offensive" written all over it.  Morning has Broken, too.

~*I love being sarcastic*~  :)

Yeah--"What A Wonderful World" is just the opposite of offensive... and can someone please explain "Wipeout" to me?

Clear Channel has been goin' way down the tubes lately...

The person who composed that list has a lot of time on their hands.  :-/

yeah a lot of time and probably not enough prozac!! ;D

They'll soon ban all songs containing the words "I love you baby" on the grounds that it encourages paedophilia. Although, most songs that have those words in are sung by wholly evil teenyboppers (such as Sh*tney Beers, Justin Trousersnake, Hilary Fluff, etc.) who deserve to be banned anyway.
