Just been watching French TV about femmes fatales which featured (amongst others) Jane Birkin..
Remember
What else can you remember as being banned by the BBC?
How about the with Brigitte Bardot and English sub-titles?
It's what Sundays are for!
Come to think of it, having read the sub-titles in English, I can just see the old farts at BBC towers creaming themselves in their pants listening to that and realising what was being said! :grin:

Good idea for a thread GnV - of the top of my head I can recall:
"Jungle Fever" by Los Chakachas
"Love to Love You Baby" by Donna Summer
"Big Seven" by Judge Dread
They can all be heard on
(Edit: I am talking audio here, not video.)

There was a time when bands actively tried to get their records banned by Radio 1. Once it was banned, everybody went out and bought it even if it was rubbish. Instant hit and anti-establishment cred in one fell swoop.
The thing with Relax always made me smile. It had been played nearly 100 times by Radio 1 before Mike Read came over all sanctimonious. Of course, he's that conceited, he takes the credit for making it a hit.

Stranglers "Golden Brown" raised a few eyebrows ...was it ever banned ??
I only really mention it because a customer recently came in laughing away and said that her children had heard the song for the first time on the radio that morning in the car and had asked .....
"Why are they singing about Gordon Brown ?"
Not sure about that one but 'Peaches' was a little near the knuckle for the time :shock:
What about Teenage Kicks by The Undertones? All about wanking and that's still played
Lola by The Kinks - was years before I found out with was about Trannies :shock:

Quote by GnVI think it's mistranslated. Assuming the word they've translated as "loins" is "reins" cos that's what it sounds like, it actually means kidneys, which casts a slightly different light on the whole song. "...you come between my kidneys" suggests a rather prosaic approach to buggery.

They are similar but kidneys is "reins" and the words "et je me retiens" translates to "and I remember".
So I think you are right, there is a mistranslation somewhere.

I wonder if they recorded it "on the hoof" so to speak :rascal:

:lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't think it ever got banned Flower. I remember when it came out and some Radio 1 DJ saying that it showed a softer, more gentlemanly side to the notorious punk rockers.
:lol: Not sure at which point they clicked what it was really about, by which time it was probably too late. Relax was probably the one I mainly remember. Think Mike Read was kind of OKish with it until he saw the video, at which point seems he had an apopleptic fit. Still pretty near the knuckle even now I reckon. Can't say I've seen watersports feature in that many pop videos since. :lol:

As is 'Turning Japanese' by The Vapors
And I Touch Myself by Divinyls which is about as blatant as it gets
You Can't Touch This by MC Hammer is about being dogged in a locked car.
It's true!!
But I digress, Buddy Holly was not banned by the BBC but he was banned from playing in Lubbock, Texas for being a deviant rock and roller! :lol:
