    Maybe change the line to "you’re cheap and you’re haggard" ?

    No, hows about we just don't change it and move on with our lives and just let the permanently outraged be permanently outraged.

    I've heard it played on the radio with that word taken out tons of times, I mean, it's a slur/swear word isn't it? Thats usually standard practise.

    Its my fave Christmas tune, taking one word out doesnt spoil the listening experience for me.

    RTE routinely play Bell X1's "Rocky took a lover" which has the line "you're such an asshole when you're drunk". During the DAY. When CHILDREN can hear !

    What if someone had an asshole that doesn't work ?? WHAT THEN ??

    Two things.

    I hate this song and I really think the whole censoring/removal of songs just in case someone is offended is a genuinely retarded move.

    BUT! I'm really sure that line has been censored on many radio stations for years now. I vaguely remember having a conversation with people in work back in like 2004/05 about it being censored.

    Eoghan McDermott and people like him are the reason I steer clear of Irish radio stations that play modern chart music.

    "****** is their N word"

    So does that mean if a gay man and a lesbian re-record it then it's all good and we can play it?

    Maybe go full on gangsta rapper and put it in every sentence?

    When rap is played on music channels and radio they almost always censor the N word though.

    I was in the company of a homosexual over the weekend when the song came on in a pub while a group of us were drinking heavily. He’s not a hysterical or moany sort, but did say that he finds that particular word offensive. It’s a slur, and isn’t one of these words that has the heat taken out of it by being accepted by the community or group it is meant to insult.

    See,

    This is the problem, you give into one of these outrage junkies and the rest demand their special requests be obeyed.

    You don't mind them sonically blurring out the offending words. Like that Maroon 5/Christina Aguilera song where he sings the refrain "....I don't give a sh1t" and the word is blatantly cut.

    Rather it's the actual altering of the lyric that is actually ridiculous. It snuffs out the original content and it's censorship like that which irks people. However, you get to listen to it with it's original content any time you wish and if radio stations/DJ's who have control of content decide to censor songs from their play lists then just accept it as their prerogative.

    Personally, I'd be glad to get a break from that song - It's been over-played to death, would be quite happy to never hear it again.

    But but but he calls her a slut. Surely that level of shaming of her sexual choices is more offensive than her suggesting he may be a gay.

    Imagine letting words have so much power over you. Must not be able to sleep at night knowing somewhere someone is saying the word ******.

    Art of any kind is only really art because it provokes an emotional response.
    It opens the viewer or listener to the views of the artist and the viewer then interprets that view through their life experience.

    I'm very opposed to changing lyrics, hiding pictures or ignoring film because they make a homophobic, racist, or any other kind of phobic view.
    Art needs to be viewed and understood as being "of its time" and more specifically to being a view of its creator.

    Disney have hidden away and deleted most of its famously racist stuff, Whereas as WB have taken the path of showing a disclaimer before a lot of their early Tom and Jerry and other stuff outlining the we they came from, and affirming racism is wrong but this is the artwork view it if you wish.

    The level of revisionism and deletion or ignoring of works from bygone times that hit a phobia is very worrying to me.
    The history of our arts, much like history of our societies is being manipulated and directed to reflect current tastes rather than reflect the realities of the times.

    Shes obviously calling him a bundle of sticks that can be used to heat his cosy home. No need for the censoring. She'd want him to be warm at christmas. Very thoughtful.
