unintentionally so. In other words bands or songs that might have been fine in their day but which wouldn't really be acceptable now.

I can think of 2 (one is dubious but still)

the lyrics would be fairly outrageous by todays standards

what about the Supremes song? That wasn't banned was it?

Roy Harper's Forbidden Fruit seemed to go under the radar for a long time, he had to pen a lengthy defense in blog form a few years ago tho.

Steal away from mummy, oh there's my little girl
On the pillow of my tummy give my hair a curl
Run your fingers under and over, make us a little pool
And don't forget about tomorrow in the same place after school.

Baby, make me calm your fears
Let me hold your thirteen years
In between the silky, love me
Race my heart and let ……….

There's also Anal Cunt's entire oeuvre

yikes!

There's a whole world of You're much too young girl, you better run girl rock'n'roll songs reaching to at least the mid 80's that didn't seem to cause much controversy.


Although if you read some of the NME interviews and editorials from punk onwards they were pretty tough on some people. There's an entire interview where someone (possibly Paul Morley) drags Adam Ant over the coals cos he wrote some songs about bondage and therefore WAS A SEXIST MONSTER. I'll have to see if i can dig that one up.

I highly approve of your use of the term oeuvre.
