In Britain, the BBC refused to play "Kodachrome", not because of the word 'crap', but because it mentioned a brand name. So in Britain the flip "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" became the hit.
It's curious that although there are more naughty words that can be played on the radio today than in years past, there are also words artists could get away with in the past that they can't today. My favourite example is Charlie Daniels' "Uneasy Rider", for which the 45 version bleeps the word "asses" but not "Toking on a number" or a word that rhymes with "bags". Today I think the situation would be reversed. It's also been ages since I've heard Rolf Harris' "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" on the radio, most likely because it refers to Australia's aboriginal people using a word that today is considered a racial slur. |
