Malaysia bans 'Despacito'

Malaysia has banned hit song Despacito from state radio and TV channels. 
     
The move was announced by the government just as the runaway hit became the most streamed song of all time.
     
The song is filled with numerous sexual references and innuendos.
     
Though 90 per cent of the country does not understand the lyrics, it has still managed to spark censorship controversy.
     
It is the first Spanish-language hit to top the charts since the Macarena.
     
In March, Malaysian officials called for a "gay moment" be removed from the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast, saying that scenes appearing to promote homosexuality were inappropriate for children and should not be shown.
