Aye that old chestnut. For a few weeks, R1 have been adamant that they play the edited version of ‘Fairytale of New York’ so they don’t offend their listeners.
They said the language isn’t what young people would expect to hear.
Well fuck me! Ever heard R1 on a Saturday night? It’s the N word all night long.
Dub, Drill, and hidden violence in veiled lyrics.
This song issue has been brought up before which is quite tragic really. It’s up there with one of my favourites tbh over the period. It’s cheery. ?
Sad isn’t it that they have to hide stuff like this but also hypocritically allow other types of language that’s befitting, according to them.
Oh and whatever you do, don’t listen to Bon Jovi’s version of the song. It’ll wreck your day. ??
