A-HA’S MUSIC HAS LONG BEEN A STAPLE OF 80S POP, BUT THESE 5 SONGS WERE DEEMED TOO CONTROVERSIAL FOR BBC AIRWAVES
London, UK – A-ha, the iconic Norwegian pop band, has had a string of hits throughout their career, including “Take on Me” and “The Sun Always Shines on TV.” However, not all of their songs have been welcomed by the BBC. In fact, five of their songs were banned by the British broadcasting corporation due to their explicit content, themes, and language.
_HERE ARE THE 5 A-HA SONGS BANNED BY THE BBC:_
1. “Scoundrel Days” (1986) – This song’s lyrics were deemed too explicit and mature for BBC listeners.
2. “I’ve Been Losing You” (1986) – The song’s themes of heartbreak and despair were seen as too intense for BBC radio.
3. “Manhattan Skyline” (1987) – This song’s lyrics were criticized for their perceived blasphemy and were subsequently banned by the BBC.
4. “The Blood That Moves the Body” (1988) – The song’s explicit language and themes of violence were deemed too mature for BBC listeners.
5. “There’s Never a Forever Thing” (1990) – This song’s lyrics were seen as too introspective and melancholic for BBC radio.
_THE REASONS BEHIND THE BBC’S BAN_
The BBC’s decision to ban these songs was largely due to concerns over explicit language, mature themes, and perceived blasphemy. While some may argue that these songs are an important part of A-ha’s artistic expression, the BBC has a responsibility to ensure that its content is suitable for all audiences.
