Glee uses Paedo Gary Glitter Song - assume that lazy yanks do not know
 
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...wyneth-paltrow


"next month audiences will watch a rendition of Glitter's 1973 hit Do You Wanna Touch Me sung by Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow."


What a Top Song does the
Glee Teacher wanna touch the younger dancer kids ass?


It was debated on Ch5 Wright Stuff
he claims Paedo Gary will make 100K
on the rights of his song.

Of course when that track was made
he had not been arrested for sleeping with child girls.

Who cares? There are thousands upon thousands of other ****ty songs they could have chosen from that would have been just as "appropriate" without lining the pockets of a convicted paedophile, and giving him even a nanosecond of publicity.

The thing is, I doubt anyone would have known it was Gary Glitters song, ik I didn't and I imagine the majority of the demographic who watch the show know it was his song. The only reason he's getting publicity now is because people are complaining about them using his song, so really it's you're own fault :bored:

I'm surprised people didn't complain about the gayness of the episode

Grimnir 11-03-2011 09:59 PM

This story is shocking....just shocking.....it beggars belief :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:



WHY and i mean WHY would Gary Glitter allow one of his songs to be used on that awful show!?!?!

lostalex 11-03-2011 10:27 PM

It's a cover of the Joan Jett song, not the gary Glitter version.

Typical British press whipping something up out of nothing.

Stop making a twat of yourself.

The Joan Jett (1981/82) version was a cover of the Glitter(1973) original song.
He co wrote the song therefore he gets the royalties.

Typical American perception - think they know it all when in fact, they whip something out of knowing nothing. ;)

This explanation should tell you all you need to know Lostalex.

As usual the Americans wrongly and arrogantly claiming ownership of something - It would be laughable if it weren't so tragic.

See.... I think it's laughable ...... when self belief in thinking one knows something about a subject matter is in fact information being give out that everyone else around, knows is utter fabrication and ignorance. and in fairness: they do have complete ownership of speaking bullsh!t. :laugh:

There's a certain pleasureable amusement to that which cannot be denied. :bouncy:

yes he can. He's not still in prison.

BB_Eye 12-03-2011 06:00 PM

I find it hard to care. Just think of all the royalties that were paid to wifebeaters like Ike Turner and James Brown from all the hip hop artists that sampled their songs.

Tom4784 12-03-2011 06:18 PM

Oh hello to the Patricks of this thread.

It's a tasteless choice of song but I'm not gonna get my bits in a twist over it.

Callum 12-03-2011 07:15 PM

It's more widely known as a song by Joan Jett in America anyway

Maybe, but that doesn't negate the objection that the person benefitting is a convicted paedophile. There would at least be some justice if the royalties were to go to his many victims.

Yes,I absolutely agree with you on that and I am sure on his musical work that could easily be arranged that his portion of the royalties is siezed and used for as you say victims or relevant other good causes.

The obvious thing is that this thread is about Gary Glitter...... hence the reason people are making comment on his song being used in Glee. Angus58 has as much right to add her thoughts and comments to this thread whether you like it or not, without being told by you, what to do.

Yes but Angus complains about everything, I just though she might like to add to her list of things to complain about
