Music that got pulled from radio for unintentionally predicting bad news events

Thisisnotapipe [Edit] [Delete] 20:11, 1 May '13

You know, like "Smooth Criminal" (Alien Ant Farm's version, not Michael Jackson's) being pulled in the wake of 9/11, and "I Feel The Earth Move" (Martika's version, not Carole King's) being pulled after the San Francisco earthquake? I can't think of many others, though I was astounded Walk Like An Egyptian got pulled from US radio... "it mentions Egypt and all Middle Easterners are guilty for the atrocities of 9/11 by association!" :-S

(I'd say more about Islamophobia and racism, but it would be insensitive to indulge MPBH Forum bingo)
