Rolling In The Deep – Adele

Many people may be surprised to hear that this smash hit by Adele was deemed problematic by some. A lyric in “Rolling In The Deep” included the word “ship,” which is not a bad word, but some said it was too close to a swear word. This is why often when Adele performs the song on live TV, she replaces the word “ship” with the word “stuff.”

(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction – The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones were censored back in 1965 due to the suggestive lyrics in the song “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” while performing the song on variety show Shindig. Funnily enough, years later, while performing at the Super Bowl in 2006, it was actually the only song that was not censored at that performance.
