Songs taken off playlists during the Coronavirus saga

"I Love This Bar" - Toby Keith and maybe even "Friends in Low Places" - Garth Brooks (because many states have ordered bars and restaurants to close)
 
another song I forgot to mention that would belong on a "do not play" list for songs that would be tasteless to play due to the pandemic.

Blue Oyster Club's Don't Fear The Reaper

another one due to the panic this pandemic has caused in the last few weeks would be Black Sabbath's Paranoid due to the fact some are paranoid that the world is heading into a lock down under martial law as a temporary military/police state would be in place to contain the virus.
 
"Shake The Disease" Depeche Mode
 
Lots of musicians are in self-quarantine right now. I just saw this tweet from the lead singer of a late 60s pop band:

I am happy I am a Hermit now! --Peter Noone

But he'll always be Henry the Eighth, he am, he am. :D
 
Saw this on Twitter:

"It is with great sadness that I report of my decision to remove Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline from all my music playlists. It is my hope that this will decrease the risk of people reaching out, touching hands, touching me and touching you. Stay safe"

In response, @NealDiamond has posted a new version with the verse:

"Hands, washing hands, reaching out, not touching you...."'

A few days ago I heard an AC station here in NJ (Magic 98.3/WMGQ) play Queen's "Under Pressure". Totally off-format for them, but still a great song to hear on the radio.

And Weird Al has declined to do a "My Corona" parody of "My Sharona":

Wikipedia says (and there is a source!) Dr. Zubin Damania has done it.

I looked at Twitter and apparently "Come On Eileen" and "Hey Nineteen" by Steely Dan could be "COVID-19".

Back in the 80s I heard a gold-leaning AC play a song called "Industrial Disease".

That's Dire Straits. Unusual selection for a Gold AC, considering it's clocks in at nearly six minutes AND an AOR track that never crossed over into pop or AC. I don't think it even charted high enough for that. But it does pop up occasionally on your deeper Classic Rock/AAA stations.

Broadcasting & Cable called it an AC, but I think the station also played "Roundabout" by Yes.
