How about the famous Yes song "Let's Kill the Whale!" ?
That one ended up on the cutting room floor, but Squire played it for me once!

ELP - Jeremy Bender
Jeremy Bender was a man of leisure
Took his pleasure in the evening sun Laid him down in a bed of roses Finally decided to become a nun Talked with his sister and spoke in a whisper Threatened to fist her if she didn't come clean Jumped on the mother, just like a brother Asked one another if the other's a queen Digging the sister, she was a mister Shouldn't have kissed her but he couldn't say no Wanted to leave her, couldn't believe her So he picked up his suitcase and decided to go Edited by richardh - August 30 2023 at 22:15 |

GREAT answer! I forgot about "Jewish Princess!" When pushed about it, Frank said "What's the problem? I sing "I WANT a Jewish Princess!" Gotta love the guy!

Thanks, this is the dialog I was expecting!
Some of my favorites are Eno's songs! "Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch" is a bit obvious. in "King's Lead Hat," he sings about "four darkies in a big black car!" I lived in the UK for a while, so I'm familiar with the term. Edited by cstack3 - August 30 2023 at 21:44 |

Oh, there's quite a few Tull songs that would cross that line, and delightful they are. "Hunting Girl", for instance, is an ode to cunnilingus. Except, I don't think the censors would catch it (that whole ability to discern allusions and innuendo). And of course, out of nowhere, comes the infamous line rattled in rapid-fire on APP: "And your little sister's immaculate virginity wings away on the bony shoulders of a young horse named George who stole surreptitiously into her geography revision -- the examing body examined her body!" Funny thing, I throughly enjoyed Aqualung as an 11 year old when it was released, "Cross-eyed Mary", "eyeing little girls with bad intent", and "the graven image you-know-who with his plastic crucifix" -- the whole damn glorious thing. But my parents were far more alarmed at Alice Cooper's "Dead Babies" than they ever were of Tull. P.S. What five year old is listening to prog? They should be given a gold star on their forehead and an ice cream cone for good measure.

'Cross-eyed Mary' . If the issue is 5 year-old listeners, then I get that. If the issue was not wanting to include a song about women with large glutes, I kinda get that too. If the issue was that Freddie Mercury was gayer than a small bag of scones so why would he care about a woman's body, I suppose I get that as well. Freedom goes both ways--- you can't say it's censorship and then expect to conduct your life & business as you see fit without interference. |

I had to smile at the story about Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls" being deleted from this collection:
On Aug. 11, Universal Music announced it would be sharing a number of music titles to Yoto, which launched in 2015 as a screen-free audio device with content safe for children. “Queen’s Greatest Hits: Volume 1” was one of the titles that would be added to the streaming service. But when Yoto added the album this week, it did not include “Fat Bottomed Girls,” a cheeky song that includes lyrics about a “naughty nanny” with a “big fat fanny,” as well as “fat bottomed girls,” who “make the rocking world go around.” Yoto, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, told the United Kingdom news outlet the Independent that “the average age of our listeners is 5 years old, and after consultation, we felt ['Fat Bottomed Girls'] wasn’t appropriate for our young audience.” I can name other prog songs that transgress modern boundaries of good taste & "wokeness," what do you have?
