Snowflakes aren't just for Christmas you know?
Following the BBC's cancellation of The Pogues’ seasonal favourite The Comfortable In His Own Sexuality Tale Of New York, pressure is growing to similarly ban a swathe of other popular songs deemed unacceptable by today’s listeners.
These are said to include:
Hey Joe [encourages violence toward womxn]
Ode To Billie Joe [romanticises teenage suicide]
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer [normalises problem drinking]
Mannish Boy [perpetuates outdated gender stereotypes]
Angie Baby [portrays mental illness as ‘other’]
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman [binary fascism]
Smokestack Lightning [contrary to climate change protocols]
I’d Rather Go Blind [stigmatises disabilities]
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl [do we need to explain?]
Rocket Man [glosses over Wernher von Braun’s Nazi past]
Immigrant Song [historically inaccurate portrayal of Vikings]
Three Wheels On My Wagon [ditto Cherokees]
9 to 5 [conspires in the wage enslavement of the proletariat]
Blockbuster [has no meaning for the Netflix generation]
The BBC are asking that the public submit their own suggestions for inclusion on the proscripted list…
