There are a lot of examples of songs that would not be released today and frankly I'm surprised that the PC police haven't stopped them from being played on oldies stations. Two that come to mind are Ruby by Kenny Rogers. In it he says "If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground."
Another one is Delilah by Tom Jones. In it he says "She stood there laughing. I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more."
Chances are they don't even pay attention to oldies stations. Which is fine with me. These songs don't bother me at all.
I went to a wedding once where the band only knew a few songs, so every other song they played was Delilah.
After a while we all started singing along.
My, my, my, Delilah.
Why, why, why, Delilah.
A song about a man who murdered his cheating woman.
How appropriate for a wedding.

I would throw my panties, if I were wearing any.
Great Tom Jones reference. Probably the youngsters on this board don’t know that women used to throw their panties on stage when he was performing.
