“Royals” by Lorde
This song was prohibited for the most ridiculous reason. “Royals” was released in 2013. By the 2014 World Series, the 16-year-old Lorde’s No. 1 chart-topping single had become something of an anthem for Kansas City Royals supporters. When the Royals faced off against the San Francisco Giants, fanatical Giants supporters complained about the song playing during the Series. In reaction, Bay Area KFOG banned it, saying, “No offense, Lorde, but for the duration of the World Series, KFOG Radio will be a Royals-free zone.” Other San Francisco stations deleted the song from their playlists as well.
