| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | I was unable to listen completely when O&A listed /talked about the list of songs that program directors have been told not to play. I know there were strange choices ("Walk like an egyptian") and ones whose titles seemed obvious ("Bodies"). Does anyone here have the complete list, or can people at least post the ones they heard? I was just thinking about a song I had always loved - Billy Joel's "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)". I didn't hear them mention it, but the lyrics are definitely too close to home now. Sig pic removed temporarily as a sign of respect. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | some of those songs make absolutely no sense. I don't care what they play, as long as it isnt a crappy song. I am Chuck's wasted time. My grandmother always said, "Why buy the cow, when you can get the sex for free." | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | looking over the list again, yeah, some are REALLY STUPID. Ironically, Billy Joel's "Only the good die young" is on the list, but the aforementioned "Miami 2017" isn't. For those of you not familiar with the lyrics, here they are: you judge. Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway) I've seen the lights go out on Broadway I saw the Empire State laid low. And life went on beyond the Palisades, They all bought bright Cadillacs And left there long ago. We held a concert out in Brooklyn To watch the Island bridges blow. They turned our power down, And drove us underground But we went right on with the show... I've seen the lights go out on Broadway I saw the ruins at my feet, You know we almost didn't notice it We'd see it all the time on Forty-Second Street. They burned the churches up in Harlem Like in that Spanish Civil War The flames were everywhere, But no one really cared It always burned up there before... I saw the lights go out on Broadway I watched the mighty skyline fall. The boats were waiting at the Battery, The union went on strike They never sailed at all. They sent a carrier out from Norfolk And picked the Yankees up for free. They said that Queens could stay, They blew the Bronx away And sank Manhattan out to sea... You know those lights were bright on Broadway But that was so many years ago... Before we all lived here in Florida Before the Mafia took over Mexico. There are not many who remember They say a handful still survive... To tell the world about... The way the lights went out, And keep the memory alive...

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | About any song dealing with death, shooting (even though no guns were involved), falling (e.g. Jump), planes, fire, war, peace and explosions. Stairway is probably crossed off because the WTC had stairs Mack the Kinfe because it involves a shark. They have Burnin' For You from Blue Oyster cult but not DON'T FEAR THE REAPER (more cowbell) The Night Chicago Died even though it's sort of uplifting It's a Wonderful World which might be one of the most uplifting songs ever written In the Year 2525 because the people in the WTC didn't live to see the year 2525 Bridge Over Troubled Water- BRIDGES weren't involved!! You know, I'd also like to give a mini-FU not requiring a new thread to radios playing the song Born in the USA because just because the title is Born in the USA doesn't mean it's Pro-USA. Listne to the lyrics you dumb fucks. "Drop the Bomb, Exterminate them all"- Colonel Kurtz This message was edited by IkeaBoy on 9-18-01 @ 1:28 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Here's one Opie mentioned (I was SHOCKED at the Cure reference) but isn't on the actual list... Killing An Arab Standing on the beach With a gun in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring down the barrel At the arab on the ground I can see his open mouth But I hear no sound I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab I can turn And walk away Or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Whichever I chose It amounts to the same Absolutely nothing I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab I feel the steel butt jump Smooth in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring at myself Reflected in the eyes Of the dead man on the beach The dead man on the beach I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an arab  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | How is this offensive???? Walk Like An Egyptian Lyrics All the old paintings on the tombs They do the sand dance don't you know If they move too quick (oh whey oh) They're falling down like a domino All the bazaar men by the Nile They got the money on a bet Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh) They snap their teeth on your cigarette Foreign types with the hookah pipes say Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh Walk like an Egyptian The blonde waitresses take their trays They spin around and they cross the floor They've got the moves (oh whey oh) You drop your drink then they bring you more All the school kids so sick of books They like the punk and the metal band When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh) They're walking like an Egyptian All the kids in the marketplace say Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh Walk like an Egyptian Slide your feet up the street bend your back Shift your arm then you pull it back Life is hard you know (oh whey oh) So strike a pose on a Cadillac If you want to find all the cops They're hanging out in the donut shop They sing and dance (oh whey oh) Spin the clubs cruise down the block All the Japanese with their yen The party boys call the Kremlin And the Chinese know (oh whey oh) They walk the line like Egyptian All the cops in the donut shop say Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian God Bless The USA. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | How can you not think Walk like an Egyptian is offensive with the lyrics "Take a plane like a hijacker and crash it into the Twin Towers" "Drop the Bomb, Exterminate them all"- Colonel Kurtz | ||||
