To Controversial to Play?

Love Potion No. 9

This song hit the bill boards in 1959 and was originally preformed by The Searchers.
Love Potion No. 9 has been covered by many bands and be heard in the movie American Graffiti.


The covered version of this song was not played by all radio stations because of the lyric about a man who falls in love with everything he sees eventually causing him to kiss a cop.


Songs and videos have evolved since the 1950's. Music helps shape our culture and set the trend for people all over. People everywhere relate to music.

Looking at this song and listening to this song who today would even give this catchy tune a second chance?


When you watch the video you can see the difference in artists. Artists today are not just singers but entertainers and dancers. In the 1950's the artist were singing and playing the guitar because any extra movements wouldn't have been appropriate.


This is the original Love Potion No. 9 being preformed.


This a video of the original preforms preforming in more present time


 
Enjoy!
