Coming up, it’s the latest edition of our Taboo Songs countdown. That’s right today we’re exploring the stories behind five controversial tracks that deeply offended certain segments of society. One was a hilarious double entendre song by Chuck Berry that sounded like a nursery rhyme, and it came under fire from a teacher-turned-crusader who tried to ban it from the airwaves. But it only made it his most popular song. One track by Matchbox Twenty was accused of glorifying domestic abuse, but it was the complete opposite of what it was accused of. Another song by Carl Douglas got a man arrested just for playing it. And then there is the kid's song by Peter, Paul; and Mary that supposedly contained hidden messages promoting drug use. They’re tracks that had the morality police hyperventilating, melting down, and losing their freaking minds… and their stories are coming up NEXT on the Professor of Rock.
