I Bet You They Won´t Play This Song on the Radio

Example #1
Classical Stations in Germany play film scores from contemporary composers.

Example #2
Songs not only in English (to be expected), but also Spanish, Polish, Check...

Example #3
German pop stations play American songs unedited.

Sub Example
"Dear Chasey Lane" by the Bloodhound Gang. Uncensored.

I believe the explanation lies in a more diverse musical outlook, the geographic positioning in relation to other languages, and an inability to understand what the lyrics are actually saying, respectivly.
