UK radio stations, including BBC Radio 2, censor "yellow" from Spice Girls' "Spice Up Your Life" over offensive concerns.

UK radio stations, including BBC Radio 2, are playing a censored version of the Spice Girls' hit "Spice Up Your Life," removing the word "yellow" from a controversial lyric. The line "Yellow man in Timbuktu / Colour for both me and you" has been deemed offensive, though no official complaints have been made. The BBC stated it did not make the edit, and music insiders criticize the decision as unnecessary.
