Banned from the Radio "Puff the Magic Dragon"

From the August 20, 2015, Do You Remember.com by Dre Weston.

GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH--  Paul McCartney (1972) By the BBC.
I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS--  Bing Crosby (1943) By BBC War weariness and home front.
WHITE CHRISTMAS--  Bing Crosby-- (1957) Because composer Irving Berlin didn't want a star singing it.
PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON--  Peter, Paul & Mary.  By Spiro Agnew because of "reference" to marijuana.

LOUIE LOUIE--  Kingsmen  (1963)  Did they swear or say nasty things.  No one really knows what they said.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH--  John Denver (1972)  Glorified drug use.
A DAY IN THE LIFE--  Beatles (1967)--  drug references
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN--  Sex Pistols (1977) insulted the Queen

Some of these surprised me.

Name That Tune:  "I Read in the News Today About a Lucky Man Who Made the Grade."  --RoadDog


CHOCOLATE RULES:  The problem is how to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car.  The solution is to eat it in the parking lot.
