"Carbona Not Glue," Ramones
You can sing about sniffing glue. No one will have a problem with that. Just don't try mentioning a registered trademark, or your song will get banned.

"Closer," Nine Inch Nails
Most radio stations don't play this song due to its explicit sexual content and supposed blasphemy in the lyric "you get me closer to God." The music video for Closer was banned by MTV for disturbing images (such as a monkey on a crucifix) and nudity. Nine Inch Nails later made a censored version of the video that replaces the offensive scenes with placards that say "SCENE MISSING".
