Not only for sexual contents, nudity and violence, but disgusting insects coming out of actresses
Rocky Mak
"Money," Frank Zappa
Someone named Peter said that there's a Zappa song named Money from 1965. It doesn't exist and he was probably confusing it with "We're Only In it For The Money", which is not a song, but an album, and it was in fact heavily censored

"Mongoloid," Devo
Even though the song's meaning could be interpreted as quite positive, the title is controversal and considered offensive, so some stations are afraid to air it

"soldier, sandy, pretty little girl," harvey andrews
it's possible that soldier was banned because it's about northern Ireland, sandy because it's about American soldier killing American citizen, and pretty little girl about a teacher losing his job for comforting a girl by putting his arm round her shoulder. then again, it's possible that all three songs - and all his other songs - were de facto banned for being (shock, gasp!) brummagem folk music. h.
