Shane MacGowan is fine with censoring Fairytale of New York

Leave our Christmas songs alone!

I'd rather they kept it as it is but I wouldn't really mind if it was censored, it would be different if it was it was the whole song they were looking to ban, but it's just one word.
|
i don’t see the issue with it being censored
|
Ban the whole song I can't stand it. But not because of this. It just grates on me like ****ing sandpaper.
|
Someone posted on Twitter that they’d prefer “you taped over Taggart!” and now I wouldn’t have it any other way!

"Also, I wonder when the crying is gonna start over the "slut shaming" which is also in the lyrics"

I think it's a dumb controversy and one undoubtedly stirred up by people who aren't even part of the LGBT. I don't take issue with the song and I don't think I've ever met another LGBT person who cares either.

I read somewhere it has the 'Gold Digger' effect: ie. straight whities are desperately keen to sing that line because they can't get away with saying it in everyday conversation (much like "she ain't messing with no broke *****s") and I think there's some truth in it. Definitely a tinge of "lol this is a bad word!" and treating a slur like a little joke.
That said, I love the song and don't mind its usage too much. It's dated and offensive but I don't think the two protagonists of the song are meant to be shining examples of humanity anyway. |

A ****** is a Welsh food I'll have ya know! Shouldn't be censored, just say she was calling him that :laugh2:

They can censor it all they like, people are still gonna sing it in the pubs Christmas time, that bit seems to be everyone's fav part too :laugh2:
|
Is this a publicity stunt to get it to this year's Christmas number 1?

vile song
utterly vile |
I've always thought it's super weird that "whips and chains" gets censored in Rihanna's S&M song, yet the radio will happily play this song with "********t" and "a**e" uncensored.

There are reasons for the snowflakes to hate that one, lyrics in that song include "whether you're white, brown or yellow" |
