I suppose he could have checked before playing the song but its not like he purposely aired the song to cause a fuss, it was an innocent mistake.

What was the actual lyric, Arista?

A Black Person was called a "N"
in 1932


The second verse went: ‘He’s been tanning n*****s out in Timbuktu, Now he’s coming back to do the same for you.’

The second verse went: ‘He’s been tanning n*****s out in Timbuktu, Now he’s coming back to do the same for you.’

Jonathan King, who was jailed in 2001 for sexually abusing teenagers in the 1980s, covered the song in 1971.

He changed the lyric to: ‘He’s been tanning negroes in Timbuktu.’

More recent versions have changed it to: ‘He’s been roastin’ peanuts out in Timbuktu’ or just ‘shining brightly out in Timbuktu’.
