Story about this misheard lyric by: Patrick Kennedy Back in 64,65 we asked a friend to write down the lyrics for our band, as he had a working record player. Our singer sang the incorrect lyrics for a number of years (even though we knew they must have been wrong) until we came across the sheet music and enlightenment. |

Songs That Are Banned:
"Gloria"
In 1966, Chicago's WLS radio commissions a local group to re-record the Them's hit because they object to the lyrics. Station management feels the lyric, "she comes in my room" is too suggestive to broadcast. The local band, the Shadows of Knight, re-record the song and that version becomes a national top ten hit. The Them's original stalls at #71 on the charts.
