"Some of the lyrics have been changed .
Heart Xmas 
It’s on now "
The original version by the pogues is banned by most radio stations, ironic that it's just been voted top Xmas song ever by radio 2! |

"Is it the "cheap lousy faggot" bit the stations don't like? "
But Radio 1 are happy to play Grime and Rap " music " about killing each other and shooting and stabbing . But let's all be offended over 1 word  |

"Not sure about the new lyrics but the original is amazing and i don't think should be changed just for the reason it was Kirsty Macall singinging ! I was there (very close) when she died ! "
She was in Cozumel wasn't she? I was in Mexico around that time too |

'smack me bitch up' and 'pop a cap in yo ass' is not offensive, it's a celebration of culture... |

Im beginning to think tbis song got barred for marketing reasons, so someone else gets xmas no 1 and with it a lot of money,
If well look at a verse in money for nothing by Dire Straits,
See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire,
Its a hell of a lot mire offensive, but yet gets played over and over,
It dont add up, |

Awesome tune, but banned in Canada for a while due to the 'f' word. |

The song never got banned. Certain lyrics got censored which in a rap song nobody would have even noticed but because its tradition people get outraged.
Its such a small thing. If your desperate to hear the original just stream it |
