No - but Spike Jones had a relases of a take on By the Sea that had to
be pulled back, since the guys sang a parady line and it went by the
booth and they pressed nearly 500 before someone caught it. I know what
the riske' line was but my E lips are sealed.
Of course there is the Carmichael record of Barnicle Bill when Venuti
added a naughty word, but because the record quality was so low at that
time that it didn't get caught until years later they came up with hi-fi
quipment.
These things happen more than we know but are usually caught -- but not
always, so poor Granny Ringwald got her ears scorched!
