Wondered when this would happen.
They just played a version of fairytale of New York that seemed to have the word slut faded, and the the word faggot replaced with either bottle or Hobbit.
Don't even remember the Twitter arseholes ever getting up in arms about this , and it sounds, if you'll excuse the phrase -
Absolutely ridiculous!

Ah yes. The other songs which have been butchered over the years by the fascists are Rhythm Is a Dancer by Snap! which had the heinous line “I’m serious as cancer, rhythm is a dancer” and Flo Rida’s Low which has ‘pornography’ beeped out.

Yep.
Ronan Keating did a cover version (it's shite, needless to say), and he replaced the word 'faggot' with something more PC.
He can fuck right off.

If they faded out ALL the words and played something decent instead, we'd all be happy.

Although in fairness, that is one of the three worst lyrics in history.
(The others are 'I don't want to see a ghost, rather have a piece of toast' - Desiree and 'You're about as easy as a nuclear war' - Duran Duran).

Fair enough if you hate them all. What gets me is people who hold their noses and say "oh, except for Fairytale of New York, of course". Fucking bastards.Basualdo wrote:JimmyDee wrote:It's the Christmas song for people who look down their noses at Christmas songs.

To be honest, I'd rather have to listen to a Matt Munro album of saccharine Xmas tat than listen to that abomination once more.

Re: Absolute radio pogues bottle job
But of course it's perfectly OK for rap artists to sing (I use the term loosely) about rape, murder, drugs, violence against women, police etc.
