What song was considered to be too suggestive to be played on the radio until the 1930's?

In: Music

I'm not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but at one point the term Rock 'n Roll was considered very risque because it was a euphemism for having sex.

Rock and Roll was not played on the radio until the 50s.
The type of song you might refer to is When I'm Cleaning Windows by George Formby (c1936). The lyrics were very risque for that period, as when he sings about the newly married young couple.

LOVE FOR SALE

"Love for Sale" is a jazz song by Cole Porter, from the 1930 musical The New Yorkers.

The song is written from the viewpoint of a prostitute advertising various kinds of "love for sale": "Old love, new love, every love but true love". "Love for Sale" was a hit in 1930, but later on the tune was deemed too sensual and banned from radio for decades.
