Recently it was the anniversary of David Bowie’s surreal, racy SNL performance, in which he flaunted a giant dick on national, live television. 35 years ago, the show’s producers censored a gay reference in one of his songs, prompting him to covertly pull out a huge dildo from his pants as a big fuck you to the censors. The song was “Boys Keep Swinging,” and here’s what got the producers’ panties in a twist:
The lyric, “When you’re a boy, other boys check you out!” was apparently too “sexually deviant” in the 1970s for the audience of late-night’s edgiest show to date. So the TV powers-that-be decided to push the censorship button on that naughty, homo-erotic part of the song. Too bad they didn’t notice what they should’ve been censoring: the big plastic dildo Bowie was pumping up and down from his pants during the song’s final climax!
