Songs that could be misinterpreted and probably wouldn't fly today

I remember these two songs when a kid, both were banned from radio stations for a time. I can't figure why cause hearing the lyrics their aint nothing dirty about them, I think it was just paranoid parents back then.

One of Alice Coopers better songs.

Alice Cooper "Only woman bleed"

The Who - 'Squeeze box'

I think I remember Alice Cooper having nudity in one of his music videos. I think it was his song "Poison" with the girl in her panties and wrapped up in chains. Man, those were the days!

I can think of one but I wouldn't want to post it here

Like most things, a lot is open to individual perception/interpretation.

Paul McCartney wrote some creepy songs:

Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Run For Your Life
a third song which escapes me

There's another song by a different artist where there's a line that goes:

"Everywhere you go, I'll follow you down"

He sounds like one of those whiny singer-songwriter types, and there's a harmonica in it.

This is a track called Little Bombardier from the debut album of David Bowie (album name also) released in 1967.

Listen to the words/storyline carefully and ask yourself would it be released today considering all the child protection issues society currently hears of.

The Beatles' first #1 hit.

Tell me that song isn't about...well, you know...

Maxwell is a great song! But it was John who wrote and sang Run For Your Life

Regarding the third one, you don't mean "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?"?

Also, one of the most misinterpreted songs ever:
