My recent post in the "what are you listening to" thread made me think a bit about one thing. Are there any songs in the US and any other country represented here in the GOF which by law or by custom mustn't be sung?
There are plenty of those in Germany. Nazi songs of repulsive content which wouldn't require a law not to be sung by any decent person
In fact several stanzas of the German national anthem are illegal (the extremely nationalist parts) to be sung.
Are there similar cases in your countries?
I know the songs of the Civil War are not illegal anywhere (and frequently part of the soundtrack of civil war related computer games), but are there still any restrictions on them or any other songs?
According to one anecdote Abraham Lincoln ordered a band to play Dixie after the capture of the confederate capital Richmond, stating that it was the best tune he ever heard and that now it was fairly reconquered.
