Lola deserves more ticks for being the greatest case of censorship ever. It's obviously about getting sexually involved with a transvestite, but the BBC banned it for mentioning Coca Cola, so they quickly rerecorded it to say 'cherry cola', and the BBC then happily played it.

Only rival: the BBC didn't ban Walk On The Wild Side because none of its senior people, nor the DJs keen on banning things, knew what "giving head" was.
