Reply to comment by Blackraven2007 in TIL: A Mambo No. 5 cover by Bob the Builder went to number 1 in the UK on 9th September 2001, but was removed from BBC radio playlists after the 9/11 attacks as it was ‘too frivolous’ by gnomageddon7

Most likely was seen as inappropriate (too upbeat in this case) given the event that just occurred. A lot of songs were pulled from radio on 9/11 for similar reasons.

A lot of movies and TV shows got delayed/cancelled/rewritten as well.
