The article claims that "Elton's Song" was banned from radio play in some countries. Which countries? The song wasn't even released as a single anywhere anyway. (The lyrics aren't explicit enough as to the theme of a same-sex relationship that the song shouldn't have been able to pass the censors. Keep in mind that four years later, Elton managed to make people believe that "Nikita" was about a woman.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:33, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

:I'm wondering about this too. Indeed, although it does sound likely that Tom Robinson and Elton John intended the song to be about two boys, nothing in the [https://genius.com/Elton-john-eltons-song-lyrics lyrics] indicates or even implies the sex of either the narrator or the person "he" is singing about. Unfortunately, the cited source is a physical book, so without a copy I can't check whether there are additional details or a corroborating source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.8.160.123 (talk) 17:15, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

:The source does not back the claim. The closest it gets is a quote from Tom Robinson: "...when he made the video for 'Elton's Song', which was about a schoolboy crush at a public school, it had a younger boy being desperately in love with an older prefect, and it didn't pull any punches. I think the video itself got banned in America, but I don't think Elton was all that closeted."

:That's the only mention of the song in the source. That a songwriter otherwise unassociated with the song thinks the video might have been banned is not worth mentioning, IMO, and certainly doesn't support the claim that the song "was banned from radio play in some countries due to its content". - SummerPhD^v2.0 22:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
