"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.

I mean, if they're going to sing a Glitter song, why does it have to be THAT one - it's so absolutely inappropriate:shocked: Bloody annoying that he's going to be rolling in dosh because of all the royalties:mad:

Coz it was appropriate for the episode

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:

Its not as if he can spend the money.

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

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!?!?!

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.

it's paedo, not peado :nono:

He has not
Glee Music Director picked it.

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:

Thank You

I have now corrected it.

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

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.

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.

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.

Go complain about people buying Chris Browns new single

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

I downloaded Chris Browns last song for free just so I felt less guilty about giving him any money.

:)

You don't have to derail a thread to do that. There's that wonderful facility known as PM.... though I'm quite sure that Angus is old enough and wise enough to decide what she likes and doesn't like. if she wants to 'complain' - that's her choice. Not yours.

Smithy gets told! :)

This was always going to be an issue. My opinion is this: if GG has paid for his crime then I can't see a problem. His music career was long over before this happened anyway.

Look, his music is out there - and at the time massively popular - so it's hard to ignore forever.

thats a very big IF

by all accounts he has been having sex with children for many years going way back in his travels.

he only got sentenced for molesting two under aged girls(10 & 11). Some would say a very lenient sentence at that.

he is an outright paedophile in every way and would just love to be on a plane back to paedo paradise given half the chance.

Glitter's hardly the only one who's been convicted of a serious offence and is still earning from past work, this is a bit of a storm in a teacup if you ask me

People should get money/royalties from their past work regardless of what crimes they have commited. They released it and put hard work in so they should get paid for their work.

but the argument here is that they should not have chosen his work to use in the first place.

knowing that he would gain financially

that said, people still happily quote and celebrate Oscar wilde and he was a dirty paedo too.

My point is you can't simply brush someone off the pop landscape. As others have said Ike Turner abused individuals, as did Phil Spector.

A pop song should stand on it's own as a piece of art.

Crap!

um. No he wasn't?

Money and exposure! What a dumb question to ask. "Glee" is the biggest show on television. Duh.

Someone has a inferiority complex.

How kind of you to share your problems with us, but there's really no need.

Lazy Americans? Really? The UK is the fattest nation in Europe, has an education problem with chavs running the country, a great percentage on benefits, and a huge percentage think that Winston Churchill was a fictional character in a novel. Yes, lazy, right. You know how many things you use now thanks to America? Pfft.
