Obvious sensitivities where the lyrics are concerned. Racial discord, war topics, weaponry, etc. could be issues that would have created controversies amongst those involved in the raging war in the Gulf region. Especially for those where death in the family is involved.
But Walk Like An Egyptian banned? Your views?

Andy, I went through the lyrics of "Walk Like an Egyptian" and didn't find anything offensive too. Maybe we are not sensitve enough.
Maybe BC. Perhaps others may be offended if they have gone through the experiences in the lyrics.
You're right, Andy. We tend to be too subjective most of the time.
If a song is looked at as an art piece then it should not be banned.
The lyricist has the right to write what he pleases.
