Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Round here

Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

I got moderated for posting some lines from this with no context lol. I can only imagine the Reddit outrage if this was a new release today.

To be fair someone did try to ban it.
In 1978, state of Maryland delegate Isaiah Dixon attempted to introduce legislation making it illegal to play "Short People" on the radio. He was advised by Assistant Attorney General Francis B. Burch that such a law would be a violation of the First Amendment.

I swear they don't even censor it on the radio, but it could just be the really weak censoring they use sometimes.

25.

I just like when songs are a little more abstract and subtle, that's all. It's an art form.

This is the only one so far that would be considered offensive. Musicians get away with a lot even in this sjw age. Maroon 5 made a song about raping people and hit top 10

Sexual Healing is abstract and artistic, IDK what you're saying.

Even "Relax! Don't do it! When you wanna come!" would have been a better example.

All right, here's my list.

Lola - The Kinks
The way it talks about transgenders and the narrator's ultimate revulsion at the idea of being with a biological man would certainly upset the more militant LGBT crowd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LemG0cvc4oU


Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - Young Girl
This is a pedophile song about the singer wanting to fuck an underage girl and needing to restrain himself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJFVPxBpezk


Kenny Rogers - Coward of the County
This song is about an emasculated, cowardly guy who is so pathetic that a group of brothers gang rape his wife.
