STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. The World Series starts tomorrow, the Giants against the Kansas City Royals. Supporting their Giants, San Francisco radio stations banned a song by Lorde called "Royals," which is just not right. San Francisco should play that music since the refrain is we'll never be royals.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "ROYALS")
LORDE: (Singing) And we'll never be royals, royals.
INSKEEP: Bay Area stations may do better to ban a parody that changes the song to you'll never beat the Royals.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "ROYALS PARODY")
JOHN LESLIE LONG: (Singing) 'Cause you'll never beat the Royals.
INSKEEP: It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
