From Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac, this little gem from 45 years ago today...
October 9, 1969…The BBC's "Top of the Pops" program refused to play the UK's #1 hit for the first time. The song, Serge Gainsbourg's "Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus," was considered to be one of the first "orgasm records," one of the first to feature heavy female breathing and moaning.
If you haven't heard the song, it's below. Unlike most of the "banned" records of it's day, this one actually lives up to what it's accused of being. You really don't need to understand French to understand what's going on in this record.
