“I Love a Man in a Uniform” by Gang of Four
The post-punk band Gang of Four’s 1982 single “I Love a Man in a Uniform” was banned for a ludicrous and inappropriate reason. The song, which peaked at number one on the charts and was popular in homosexual bars, was banned for a variety of reasons. “I Love a Man in a Uniform,” from the post-ironically titled studio album “Songs of the Free,” was removed from U.K. radio stations. According to the band’s guitarist, Andy Gill, a note from the BBC circulated warning, “Do not play this song. We expect to have to report casualties tonight. “This song will no longer be played, period.” The next day, British troops entered the Falklands War.
