Banned song: The Kinks, “Lola”

This is one of the stranger examples on the list. While the famous Kinks song gained controversy for being about the love between a man and a transvestite, it was banned by the BBC for product placement regarding a reference in the lyrics to Coca-Cola. Kinks frontman and songwriter Ray Davies responded by recording a different version of the song that changed the line “where you drink champagne and it tastes like Coca-Cola” to “cherry cola” so that the government-run station, which at the time could not be seen as endorsing any product, could play the song.
