"Yep Roc Heresi," Slim Gaillard
Slim Gaillard was a jazz singer/multi-instrumentalist from the 1940s until his death in the 1980s. Many of his songs were nonsensical and funny. This was one. It was banned on the radio because, broadcasters claimed, its lyrics were obscene. The reality? Slim took the lyrics from the menu of a Hungarian restaurant that he frequented.
Rick Blaine
"You Don't Know How It Feels," Tom Petty
Not exactly banned per se. On MTV, they reversed the word "joint" in the line, "Let's roll another joint".
Beth
"You Don't Know How It Feels," Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
On the radio in Ohio the line "let's roll another joint" was edited into "let's hit another joint".
CD Listener
"You Don't Know How It Feels," Tom Petty
Banned for the line "Let's roll another joint." MTV reversed the word "joint" when it aired the music video.

"You Oughta Know," Alanis Morissette
Not banned outright, but the line "Are you thinking of me when you f*** her" is usually partly bleeped out when it is played on the radio for some reason.
Jeffrey
"You Sure Love To Ball," Marvin Gaye
This one was on the album after "What's Goin' On" and was banned on Armed Forces stations because of its sexual innuendos.
Ron Adams
"Younger Men," K.T. Oslin
The song received little or no radio airplay when it was released in 1982 because the lyrics describe older men as being physically unattractive and unable to perform sexually and that a younger man would be better equipted to satisfy her needs. Very few people heard it was included on her ''80's Ladies'' album in 1987.
