All these Christmas songs and not a sniff of "Have a Cheeky Christmas". Worth it just to see the bit in the video when one of the Cheeky Girls takes fright at the reindeer kicking off!!

 

Honestly always have to wonder why John Denver's timeless "Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk This Christmas" isn't a Top 40 staple...

"I'll give you good GOOD, though"... :rofl:

 

I mean, it's not a good song anyway, but even when I hear the "explicit" version, I always hear "good good" now.

Biography

 

The Pogues were an English or Anglo-Irish Celtic punk band fronted by Shane MacGowan and others, founded in Kings Cross, London in 1982, as "Pogue Mahone" – the anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s, recording several hit albums and singles. MacGowan left the band in 1991 owing to drinking problems, but the band continued – first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals – before breaking up in 1996. The Pogues re-formed in late 2001, and played regularly across the UK and Ireland and on the US East Coast, until dissolving again in 2014. The group did not record any new material during this second incarnation. Their politically-tinged music was informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds, yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, banjo, cittern, mandolin and accordion. - Wikipedia

"I'll give you good GOOD, though"... :rofl:

 

I mean, it's not a good song anyway, but even when I hear the "explicit" version, I always hear "good good" now.

 

Censoring "good wood" is everything that's wrong with modern radio edits.

Bieber covered it for Amazon last year, which probably helped - surprised it's Brenda Lee's version rather than his that's doing so well now.

 

Thank god!

All these Christmas songs and not a sniff of "Have a Cheeky Christmas". Worth it just to see the bit in the video when one of the Cheeky Girls takes fright at the reindeer kicking off!!

 

OMG THIS!!! :wub:

 

I actually quite like this ArrDee song! Capital don't change "wood" so not sure why Radio 1 do!

Radio 1 seem to be more strict with their censoring then capital do I’ve noticed, still though I know what it’s implying but it’s still hardly bad language or anything!

I actually quite like this ArrDee song! Capital don't change "wood" so not sure why Radio 1 do!

 

Radio 1 are stupidly hyper-sensitive with this stuff.

 

They censored the word stolen in the "Goods in the back of that stolen Caddy" lyric from BBC's Don't You Worry About Me.... :rolleyes:

 

Like honest surely a kid old enough to understand what it means doesn't need it censored?

Biography

 

Michael Barratt (born 4 March 1948), known professionally as Shakin' Stevens, is a Welsh singer and songwriter. He was the UK's biggest-selling singles artist of the 1980s. His recording and performing career began in the late 1960s, although it was not until 1980 that his commercial success began. His most successful songs were nostalgia hits, evoking the sound of 1950s rock and roll and pop. In the UK alone, Stevens has charted 33 Top 40 hit singles including four chart-topping hits "This Ole House", "Green Door", "Oh Julie", and "Merry Christmas Everyone"; his last Top 40 single was "Trouble" in 2005 apart from his Christmas song, which has re-entered the UK Singles Chart each December since 2007. - Wikipedia

They even censored 'BBC' and '1xtra' in the A1 x J1 song 'Latest Trends', remember? :lol:

Radio 1 are stupidly hyper-sensitive with this stuff.

Not as bad as MTV who seem to have censored half the lyric of Seventeen Going Under, even the "shifting gear" line!

Shakin Stevens.

 

Second best Christmas song ever!!
