Did you know the song "It's A Musical World" by Sammy Davis Jr. was censored in public libraries? (See description for reasons).

According to the manager of my local library, the song was censored because it has "ding Dong" in the chorus, classified by the filters as a sexual term, and also because the name Sammy is classified as racist. How ridiculous is that?

Incredible. Which shows you what kind of quasi-repressive times we live in. I suppose he has been removed from the history of entertainment annals because he had a "racist" name. How about "I Want you to play with my ding-a-ling"?

  I didn't look for "My Ding-A-Ling" in the library, officegirl, but I'm sure that's been censored there as well.

  I never heard of Freddie Mercury until I went looking for "My Dingaling" and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9ggsSSpiSk I thought he was terrible.
