[Bye, bye, bye Delilah: Wales rugby choirs banned
from singing Tom Jones hit Song dropped from playlists over ‘problematic subject matter’ WRU facing recent allegations of ‘toxic’ culture and misogyny] [But with the WRU reeling from allegations of a “toxic” culture and misogyny the governing body has responded to claims that it promotes violence against women by banning it. The song includes the lyric: “She stood there laughing/ I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more.”] Yes you Bugger, you murdered her [The Welsh Rugby Union has ordered the 1968 Sir Tom Jones hit Delilah to be removed from its Principality Stadium choirs’ song list on the eve of the 2023 Six Nations. The pop song about a jealous lover stabbing his unfaithful paramour has been lustily sung by Welsh fans and become something of an alternative sporting anthem.] https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...-tom-jones-hit Last edited by arista; 02-02-2023 at 01:20 PM. |

I just don’t see how they can prevent thousands of fans singing the song whenever they feel like it ..

They have just stopped it being sang by official choirs or played into the stadiums but they know it will continue to be sung by the fans initially

Tom Jones was asked if he thought this decision was normal.
He replied by saying "in this day and age, it's not unusual" |

It is a pretty disturbing lyric, to be fair.

Loads were not aware he Killed her in that Graphic Song. Until the Words were on TV Screens today See LT Clever Educated TS Understands why it had to be banned. Last edited by arista; 02-02-2023 at 03:24 PM. |

No more disturbing than an Agatha Christie Novel, a horror movie or an episode of Eastenders.
Let's just ban everything then the World will be a better place. Last edited by Alf; 02-02-2023 at 03:26 PM. |

it's not banned. A choir won't sing it at matches, that's not banning it

How far do we go with banning songs then ? , There's alot of vulgar & disturbing lyrics in other songs ?.
It's funny how Delilah is seen as being too 'violent' , but little girls are singing cardi B WAP on tiktok & boys are happily singing to every rap song out there . |

It's just a song. No deeper meaning that that.

After all the allegations of misogyny and abuse of women levelled at the WRU, they've responded by banning fans singing a song. Genius.
