If these controversial 80's/ 90's songs were released today, would they pass the 'airplay' censures?

Question

Erotic City, by Prince.

I Want Your Sex (part 1), by George Michael.

Wicked Inna Bed, by Shabba Ranks.

Interesting. Thanks people. I reckon people have different focuses and values today. F,y.i., we don't have rap stations in my country. And I don't listen to modern pop (although I have heard a few of them), so do excuse me if my question seems naive!

Answer 1

Yeah, that crap they play on the radio today is just as bad as the stuff that wouldn't pass the censure.

Answer 2

In the time of Fergiliscousness, 50 Cent, Ghost face killa, etc, these 80's/90's songs are innocent.

Answer 3

There's much worse stuff than that going around just now. Listen to almost any rap artists and you will find references to either sex, drugs, guns or all three!

Answer 4

Yeah i agree with starshine girl. The lyrics that pass today make those songs look mild

Answer 5

i haven't heard the songs but if nickleodeon can show a band called the Naked Brothers Band then anything can go these days.

Answer 6

well when u think of what they put on the radio now... like eminem, snoop dog n all them lot, all of whom swear on every song, and they air them......

then u think of the single that 'franky goes to hollywood' sang in the 80's (i think) 'RELAX' which they banned off all the radio stations..... what do u think !!!!!

Answer 7

I want your sex was censured by some radio stations.

I would say: "I want your love" instead.

Answer 8

Probably there's some pretty racy lyrics nowadays

Answer 9

Oh yes

Answer 10

yes . if rap can pass those songs can
