Ban It!!

It is not that often now you hear the original lyrics in The Pogue's 'Fairytale of New York' so the female now calls her other half a scumbag and a maggot and then rhymes cheap and haggard instead of calling him a cheap lousy faggot which made the Ofcom regulators nervous although the part where he says she is an old slut on junk they were obviously fine with.
The Pogue's 1988 song seemed to have got more sensitive as time went on and 'Baby It's Cold Outside' is another one which no doubt sounded fine when it came out it the 1940's but modern listeners got a little more uneasy in hearing a Festive ditty about getting a man getting a woman drunk so he can have sex with her so its still played, but not so much as it once was and 'Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas' has come in for some stick this year for it's less than favourable depiction of Africa but obviously all the other Christmas songs are fine, surely nobody could get upset about  Mommy kissing Santa Claus  or Bing warbling that he will be home for Christmas?
Step forward the Religious folk who like nothing more than wrecking their own holiday so Mommy Kissing Santa Claus was a 'mockery of decent family life as well as Christ’s birthday' and some Catholic dioceses denounced the tune and one American Radio station banned it completely which is what some folk tried to do when Elvis sang 'White Christmas' because Elvis and his wiggly hips were not 'family friendly' and several radio stations did actually ban it.  
Bing Crosby crooning that he’ll Be Home for Christmas in 1943 was banned by the BBC as hearing people may only be home in their dreams could 'damage public morale during World War 2' because obviously, many soldiers would not be coming home that or any other Christmas and 'Santa Baby' by Eartha Kitt in 1953 was banned by some radio stations as 'too sexy'.
The absolute ultimate has to be 'O Holy Night' banned by the Catholic Church because it included a 'total absence of the spirit of religion' due to the original lyric which alluded to God's Wrath (God has no wrath they said) and the fact the tune was written by an atheist Socialist and the words provided by a Jew.
All very humorous but if churchy people can get their rosary beads in a knot over any of those Christmas songs then they really should avoid 'Snowman' by Anti-Nowhere League as it certainly isn't a child friendly song and i am almost certain that what he tells us the Snowman want's to do is anatomically impossible unless the carrot is positioned very much in the wrong place.
