ALL music should be reviewed, and if it offends or upsets more than 5-6% of the audience, radio stations shouldn't play it. For example, maybe kids shouldn't be allowed to listen to 'Frosty the Snowman', as it tells them to ignore police instructions, like 'Stop!' And do you want kids growing up thinking that's it's OK to keep hippos in garages?Okay now your not even being serious
Something must be done!!

As has been repeatedly pointed out to me, the song hasn't been 'banned'. But I'm thinking of sending a nice Christmas card to the radio station in question for having the courage to pull a song that for 50 years was considered harmless, but is now clearly a danger to women everywhere.
