FUK Tamper with Pogues Fairytale in New York



FUK Radio 1 has said it will stand by its ban on the word "faggot" from The Pogues' 1987 Christmas hit Fairytale of New York to avoid offence.

The word, sung by the late Kirsty MacColl as she trades insults with Shane MacGowan, has been dubbed out. But MacColl's mother, Jean, called the ban "too ridiculous", while The Pogues said they found it "amusing". The FUK said: "We are playing an edited version because some members of the audience might find it offensive."

A Radio 1 spokeswoman said the station's management had met on Tuesday morning to discuss the issue. She said they "had made their decision" and would not be going back on it. But the ban does not apply across the FUK Radio 2 said it would be playing the full version of the track.

MacColl, who was killed by a speedboat off the coast of Mexico in 2000, brands Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan "you scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot" in the song, which reached number two when it was first released. The song is a duet between MacColl and Shane MacGowan She continues: "Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last."Another line, where MacGowan calls MacColl "an old slut on junk", has also been edited.

Jean MacColl told F.U.K Radio 5 Live's Breakfast: "These are a couple of characters - not in the first flush of youth, I would have thought. "This is the way they spoke. Today we have a lot of a gratuitous vulgarity and whatever from people all over which I think is quite unnecessary. "They are what they are. These are characters and they speak like that."

A spokesman for The Pogues, who first formed in 1982 and reunited in 2001 after a five-year break, said they "found it amusing that a song that has been one of the best-loved Christmas tunes should suddenly have been deemed offensive".

Listeners have also been criticising the ban on the Radio 1 Newsbeat website. Denise Venn said it was "a complete over-reaction" and Simon from Southampton called it "political correctness gone mad". Dean in Southampton added: "I'm gay and it certainly doesn't offend me. "I find it more offensive that the FUK has tampered with this track which hopefully will be number one this Christmas."

Earlier this year The FUK banned Sparks's wonder hit Dick Around from the airwaves for fear it could cause offence...




(After a meeting of the Paul Giovanni Corporation on Tuesday afternoon, a decision was made to replace the initials BBC with FUK incase readers found the initials BBC offensive. If you want to complain, the PGC would suggest that you talk to the hand....)

	Christopher Nosnibor	Fucking absurd. Censorship is for cunts. Are they going to ban Brain's Faggots next? And meat balls? And cock-a-leekie soup? Hmm, all my examples seem to be food-orientated, no idea why. Must be hungry. Posted by Christopher Nosnibor on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at 15:13 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	KvKvG	Fucking ***!!! Fucking cunts!!! They have gone and ruined one of the best songs ever written! this is the same *** who came up with the idea of the black and white minstral show. they shouldnt lecture us on what is or what is not offencive. i recall a time when i saw Amon performed Fuck you (dont want you back) on TOTP they cut out every swear only let him call the girl "ho, Ho, ho, ho," multiple times. which i find much more offencive than 'fuck' the other day C4 edited out the sentance: 'this is the line to register as a sex offender' in a joke from the simpsons. but those holyoak cunts were allowed to ride a peadophile storyline 30 mins before last year the city of new york banned the word 'nigger' meaning that hip hop acts were no longer allowed to use the word in their lyrics. the media does not respect art, at all. Mathew collins has to do documenrties on renasicance paintings because the *** doesnt have the fucking balls to let him talk about marcus harvy's portrait of myra hinley. yet john snow is still allowed to show us arab children being blown up by allied scatterbombs, because that is democracy (apparently). Trisha is still on fucking tv. and the other night i saw the armstrong and miller show, now that is offencive! we pay £150 a year for shit like that? Sorry, Paul. im in a mood, as frankie said: 'relax' (before the cunts banned that as well).... this is your blog, not mine. carry on...x Posted by KvKvG on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at 15:48 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Fill yer boots!! I think Censorship has got worse recently and a lot more picky... I mean since when has the word 'Dick' offended anyone?!? I was also amazed that using the word 'Shirtlifter' is enough to get a 'celebrity' kicked off a reality cheffing TV program... But strangely in parallel to all this, words like FUCK AND SHIT crop up more and more on TV... They never used to be allowed at all, but now they are, meanwhile other silly words are increasingly edited out... Another wierd thing is there's a complete free for all here on the net where you can cuntingwell write what you want....?!?

	Clinker	Whatever they do its still the best Xmas tune ever. Even better than Kunt and the Gangs "Santas Sack". It reminds you that whilst your Xmas is shit, it could be worse. Get up on Xmas day and stick this straight on, followed by Phil Spectors Christmas Album! ps I haven't heard Santas Sack, but a friend mentioned it yesterday.

	KvKvG	ha ha ha, god bless death row, where would we be without thier music and most of all their amazing art work. as for your question regarding cencorship of the net. it appears to be an illusion. they let us say what we want because the number of people who use it as a replacement of mainstream media is so small. and those of us who do use it for such puropses will never been in a position of power cos were all too busy jacking off to porn. look at the whole ron paul presidental race situation, that guy gets 4 million hits a day on youtube, but in the real world princess di has more chance of becoming the next presidient. face it, we are small fry, but were still the coolest (nme cool list: number 666).

	Christopher Nosnibor	Funny and somewhat ironic thing? They played the full uncensored verson of rage Against The Machine's 'Killing in the Name' on the Top 40 chart show back in 1990-whatever. Taking this lead, we should stand up to censorship and shout in unison: FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!

	The Cupid Kinkyboots Fan Club	I'm confused. I thought the Pogues made that song about cigarettes. You limey bastards! I find it interesting that PC has spread overseas. I thought it was mostly an American sickness. I guess it's kinda like AIDS, starting out with the faggots and then spreading to everybody else... Oh, and just in case I just offended anyone, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not in the least bit prejudiced. I hate everybody.
