[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.]

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

They said the same thing on the news this morning.

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

It is Banned Officially

But Fans will Sing It

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.

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.

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.
