You know something is wrong with you when a 'controversial' song banned by the BBC in the early 80s is on your primary radar as a tune on your kid's Wiggles CD.

"Six Months in a Leaky Boat"?

That's the only one I can think of (not that I own any Wiggles CDs).

Well, whether it's the one you meant or not, the song WAS banned and did appear on a Wiggles CD: http://www.80smusiclyrics.com/artists/splitenz.htm. ;)

Dingdingding, you're the winner! I had never heard the Split Enz version until it played on RadioNigel.com yesterday. It was one surreal moment to realize 'hey wait... I know this from... the Wiggles?!?!'

why was it banned in the first place? and how much editing did the wiggles do?
that's too funny. :)
