Some of you may know that the B-52's had a song called "Rock Lobster", but did you know the song was originally titled "Rock Badger?" Due to pressure from the National Association of Badgers Not Being Used in Rock Songs they had to change it.

Here are some of the original lyrics:

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock badger

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock badger

Here is the video, you will have to imagine them singing "badger" instead of "lobster."
