Not to highjack the thread but anyone ever see Rowen Atkinson do his interview with Elton John?

Yep, read that a few years ago. Interestingly, I read that the first time was in NYC when Dylan introduced it to them. He thought they had smoked and when they said they hadn't he questioned I Wanna Hold your Hand's lyric "I Get High, I Get High" and they told him it was "I Can't Hide, I Can't Hide". Funny

I must agree Lorne

I find these type of "Best of" awards as so misleading since one must define the niche we're working with. Do y'all agree that it's like picking the greatest rock song of all time. What does that mean? Tell me if I'm wrong. Could you actually pick the greatest rock song of all time?

The BBC infamously would not play songs alluding to any kind of religion, so a song with God in the title never stood a chance.
Lola by the Kinks had to be re-recorded because of a commercial product...The BBC found the song’s content objectionable, but not for reasons of gender and sexuality. The BBC objected to the song because the original version of it mentioned Coca-Cola. Since the BBC felt the original lyric could be viewed as advertising, The Kinks had to re-record the song with no mention of the famous soft drink. The re-recorded version of the song mentions generic cherry cola rather than Coca-Cola.

By the time I really became familiar with it in the 1970s, I thought that if anything it had a somewhat pro-religious quality to it, or alternatively that it was just an innocuous phrase ... I never figured that there would be any significant objection to the words on religious grounds.
Just as You Better Move On by....Arthur Alexander as well as the Stones says "it's up to her and the Lord above...."
nobody thought about it at that time
