Reply to comment by garm302 in TIL: A Mambo No. 5 cover by Bob the Builder went to number 1 in the UK on 9th September 2001, but was removed from BBC radio playlists after the 9/11 attacks as it was ‘too frivolous’ by gnomageddon7
Other songs banned by the BBC include "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett, "Creep" by Radiohead and "Boris Johnson Is a >!Fucking Cunt!<" by >!The Kunts!<.

Why did they ban Monster Mash???

"the BBC failed to see the funny side and banned the song for being too morbid"
It was in the early sixties and they were very conservative back in those days.
