In the days following the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., many television and radio stations altered normal programming in response to the events. During this period, a list of 'songs with questionable lyrics' purported to be from radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications to its subsidiaries began to circulate on the Internet.Here are some of the 'inappropriate' songs:
Louis Armstrong – "What A Wonderful World"
The Animals – "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"
The Bangles – "Walk Like An Egyptian"
Buddy Holly and the Crickets – "That'll Be The Day"
Creedence Clearwater Revival – "Travelin' Band"
Dave Matthews Band – "Crash Into Me" (--understandable)
Gap Band – "You Dropped A Bomb On Me"
Jimi Hendrix – "Hey Joe"
Led Zeppelin – "Stairway To Heaven"
John Lennon – "Imagine"
Jerry Lee Lewis – "Great Balls Of Fire"
Rage Against The Machine – all songs
Simon And Garfunkel – "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (WHAT?!)
The Zombies - "She's Not There"
