BBC News - We need to drop Delilah song for being too violent, says singer
The claim is that the lyrics glorify domestic violence.
My opinion..its more PC gone mad stuff...
First, its music...it's catchy, it's singable by anyone in the bath/shower or drunk on a karaoke night
Second, to me it's about a guy who catches his missus being unfaithful, kills her and regrets it while waiting for the police to break in and arrest him..it's a cautionary tale.
but I have NEVER, EVER seen this as a glorification or acceptance that its ok to hit a woman..then again I like to consider myself as being able to distinguish between a piece of art and actual realism. Should we destroy some of the works of Botticelli, Picasso or Rubens, smash the Venus De Milo perhaps
Strange how modern pulp crap like Fifty Shades of Grey with its objectification of women with heavy overtones of sado-masochism has been purchased by mainly women...yet thats ok
Oh and it works both ways..
