I recall the Stones and the Doors being asked to change lyrics for the Ed Sullivan show.

'Let's spend the night together' became 'Let's spend some time together'

Jim Morrison rebelled and sang 'We couldn't get much higher' from 'Light my fire' anyway

It might be fun to play ES's lyricist/censor on some other songs.

How about for Dead Flowers by The Stones.

Historically...
"She sits among the cabbages and peas" by Marie LLoyd had to be changed by order of the horrified clean-up squad who saw through the double entendre. They seemingly missed the entendre of the proffered alternative..
..."She sits among the cabbages and leaks".
