“Don’t Let My Asshole Wait” – Banned Vinyl (1979)

Banned by radio. Condemned by conservatives. Yet one of the most sought-after underground singles of the late ’70s.

As the 1970s spiraled into its most chaotic musical era, the line between art, rebellion, and pure provocation seemed to vanish entirely.

Amid the smoke-filled neon-lit clubs, a mysterious collective called Banned Vinyl appeared. They had no major label backing. No big promotional campaigns. Only a single record with a name so shocking it could make you either laugh or gasp immediately:

“Don’t Let My Asshole Wait.”

Many assumed it was a prank.

They were wrong.

The record arrived and immediately sparked whispers, rumors, and small-scale outrage in underground music circles.

Some DJs refused to play it. Some radio stations relegated it to late-night slots. In certain places, even mentioning the song’s title on-air was forbidden.

What’s fascinating is that most critics hadn’t even heard the track.

 Behind its outrageous name lay a surprisingly infectious punk energy, raw garage-rock guitars, and lyrics dripping with tongue-in-cheek satire aimed at society’s hypocrisies.

Indie critics described it as:

“Equal parts humor, defiance, and complete disregard for anyone who might be offended.”

Meanwhile, club-goers embraced it as a cheeky anthem of rebellion.

 Rumors spread.

Some claimed only a few thousand copies were ever pressed. Others said the label was forced to pull the record from shelves due to pressure from retailers. Collectors hunted original pressings for decades, often without success.

By the mid-1980s, the track had nearly vanished from public memory.

Yet, like many underground legends, its disappearance only made it more notorious. Bootleg copies circulated in record fairs, independent shops, and the private collections of fans chasing the strangest music history had to offer.

Today, “Don’t Let My Asshole Wait” still appears on lists of the most outrageous vinyl record titles ever pressed.

But the question remains:

 Was it just an over-the-top joke?
 A misunderstood satirical masterpiece?
 Or a hidden underground gem lost to history?

Perhaps we’ll never know for sure.

But nearly half a century later, the mere fact that its name still sparks debate proves that Banned Vinyl achieved what many artists only dream of: becoming unforgettable.

 What do you think?
 Misunderstood genius?
 A cheeky musical prank?
 Or a true underground legend?
