🎸How a Soda Got the Beatles Banned 🥁

View my favorite Beatles treasures at Amazon: https://a.co/d/0hJIhK5E Ask any casual Beatles fan which song got banned by the BBC and you'll get the obvious answers fast. "A Day in the Life," for its druggy "I'd love to turn you on." "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," for those three suspicious initials. Maybe even "I Am the Walrus," for a certain reference to someone's undergarments. Those are the famous cases — the ones people expect. But there's one Beatles song that got pulled from BBC airwaves for a single word almost nobody clocks on first listen, buried inside lyrics so strange that the actual offending word slides right past you. 🎧 FREE audiobook on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5J4LHILtMfo As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
