The argument that I've heard about why this song isn't 'banned' is that it's
too obscure. The stations that are being targeted by this 'ban'wouldn't play
this song anyway - in fact, they'sd probably not play any Cure song because
of the band's cultish status.

If this song was done my Radiohead, it'd probably be a different matter.
(Not to imply that Radiohead would do such a sing, but that they're
currently quite popular).
