Ian Dury & the Blockheads – Spasticus Autisticus
Ian Dury wrote the song “Spasticus Autisticus” as a protest to the International Year of Disabled Persons, which he felt was quite patronizing. The BCC blocked the song as it claimed Dury’s descriptions of physical disability were too offensive. In 2012, the song was sung at the Paralympic opening ceremony.

The music video for Lil Louis’ “French Kiss” features a woman who is enjoying herself, which led it to be banned by the BBC for “heavy breathing.” It was also recently banned from eat London digital station 883 Centreforce for the same reason.
