Which Christmas song was banned by the BBC for being “too morbid”?
In 1943, the BBC made the surprising decision to ban Bing Crosby’s timeless classic “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” from its airwaves because they deemed it “too morbid.” At the height of World War II, the broadcaster’s censors feared that the song’s melancholic lyrics—particularly the final line, “if only in my dreams”—would severely damage the morale of British troops stationed overseas. They worried the poignant reminder of home would lead to homesickness rather than providing the festive comfort intended by the songwriter.
