Delilah song banned from Wales
 
Feminist lobby groups have succeeded in having the famous tom jones hit banned from welsh rugby matches..........in last Friday nights clash the welsh choir were banned from singing it because it allegedly promotes violence against women

do we agree with this? should this song and all others with dodgy lyrics be banned forever? what of nursery rhymes, jack and jill where jack broke his crown, rock a bye baby where the baby falls or humpty dumpty who fell to pieces....take the legendary bohemian rhapsody...mama just killed a man....should the male groups get that banned? or are the male groups less funded than the feminist ones so we get to hear less about the anti male lyrics?

cant help but think the massive amount of tax payers money that funds these feminist groups could be used or far far far more important issues

Couldn't give a toss about this either way, but for the record, about 50% of the workforce who pay taxes are women.

---runs to re-listen to Delilah
Quote:

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
Oh

It's less sexist, more murderous..

Mokka 08-02-2015 04:59 PM

Yeah... It goes back to the era of songs that tell a story... it doesn't promote abuse against women in general

Crimson Dynamo 08-02-2015 04:59 PM

The lesson surely is dont laugh in the face of someone you cheated on?

Liam- 08-02-2015 05:00 PM

Exactly!

He didn't stab her to death for being a woman, he stabbed her to death for being a slut, there's a difference

MB. 08-02-2015 05:00 PM

Yeah, that slut. :fist:

Like they are going to stop singing it just because it has been banned, if anything it will be sung louder next time

welsh politicians pressurised the welsh rugby union to ban it, so they banned it and stopped the choirs from singing it as they had done at every welsh match for over 30 years....it was also banned from playing over the loudspeakers

Mokka 08-02-2015 05:59 PM

love how it took them 30 years to decide the song was bad :idc:

I want to see data correlations of violence against women relating to hearing or singing Delilah... lets start by interviewing Tom Jones...

joeysteele 08-02-2015 06:08 PM

The song contains an ending that would be seen as a crime of passion.
This is getting really silly now, it is a song for goodness sake, that millions bought too, around the world.

Before long we will all need to get into a bath of Milton fluid before we go out into that dangerous world.

Strewth, are we to be sterilised and wrapped in cotton wool before we dare step out.
So much PC overdrive etc. out there.
