legacy of singles with the “banned

Moi Non Plus

W
and Serge Gainsbourg reached
No. 1, or in 1967 when Scott
Walker sang of “authentic queers
and phony virgins” in a cover of
Jacques Brel’s
Jackie.
They were
less uneasy in 1991 when Marc
Almond released his version.
Invisible Sun,
The Police’s
darkest synthpop moment, is said
to have been banned for Sting’s
lyrics about Northern Ireland,
something which also lead to Paul
McCartney’s 1972 single
Give
Ireland Back To The Irish
being
referred to on
Pick Of The Pops
as simply “a record by the group
Wings”. Bans for political content
don’t seemed to have lessened,
what with
Celebrate (The Day
After You),
The Blow Monkeys and
Curtis Mayfield’s ode to the demise
of Thatcher, and
Ding Dong The
Witch Is Dead,
just last spring.
Is the nation any more
upstanding for not hearing these
records? Would we have lost a
generation to acid if The Beatles
had confirmed that
Lucy In The Sky
With Diamonds
was about LSD?
Or if D-Mob’s
We Call It Acieeed
hadn’t been banned?
Maybe the best pop records and
the strongest artistic statements
are made when you keep people
guessing, or at least add a little
twist to the tale. According to John
Lennon,
Lucy...
was about one of
Julian Lennon’s school paintings.
But then according to Mr C, “E’s
are good! E’s are good!” was all
about “a guy in the place with a
bittersweet face that goes by the
name of Ebeneezer Goode!”
