British Sea Power video banned
Browsing Wikipedia's list of censored music videos I was surprised to find one that I have on regular rotation, British Sea Power's Please Stand Up. Your challenge (if you dare) is to watch the video and work out why MTV in the USA banned it.

Okay, if you've bravely seen the video then you'll suspect that the objections weren't to the images of the band playing in a nice little cottage in the country. If you found the lyrics a bit hard to hear, then you can read them in full on the band's site.
[I'll get a coffee while you read that...]
What, you still haven't worked it out? Apparently it's on the following two lines:
And then all of the sudden it's all better better
A little excitement makes us wetter wetter
Confused? I'll let NME and Soul Shine Magazine clear it up. I'm chalking it up to "cultural differences".
