i was listening to the oldies rock station in the car today (because i'm an oldie). The dj, another oldie, said that when this song first came out in 1973 the station he was working at had a really hard time with it, that they had to 'bleep' the hell out of it. this is the song:
Kodachrome
Paul Simon
When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder I can think at all
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome wuu
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
O.K.

now, except for the word 'crap', i can't figure out what in the hell they had to censor. in 1973. what am i missing? i had to come home and look up the lyrics, just to make sure.
