Best Answer

The Kinks' "Lola," the best, most melancholic song about falling in love with a trans-woman ever, was only briefly banned, not because of content that the 1970's audience might have objected to, but because it made a reference to "Coca-Cola." BBC Radio had a strict no product policy, so singer Ray Davies was forced to interrupt the band's American tour to fly back to London and re-record the lyric to say "cherry cola" instead.

What is equivocal?

Equivocal means ambiguous, having more than one possible meaning. An example is the line from the Kinks' song, Lola: "I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola." The statement is equivocal because it is not clear whether Lola is glad that the singer is a man or whether Lola is glad that Lola is a man (the context of the song suggests that this is a possibility).
