BBC Radio 1 bosses have altered the lyrics to Christmas classic Fairytale of New York sang by The Pogues. The station wanted to avoid offence in airing the festive hit this year as it includes two controversial words that have offended many people in the past.

Execs made the decision to change the word “f****t” to “haggard”, while the word "slut" is muted, reports The Sun. A source told the publication: “The feeling is that Radio 1’s listeners are younger and may not be as familiar with this song — so it has been decided that the lyrics should be edited." The source added: “This Christmas, only the new version will be broadcast on Radio 1.” Mirror Online has contacted BBC Radio 1 for comment.

Dua Lipa Delivers the ‘Future Nostalgia’ Show New York Has Been Waiting Two Years for: Concert Review

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAfter what we’ve all been through in the past two years, every concert feels like a miracle, but a Dua Lipa show more than most. On the surface it might be easy to underestimate the heavy emotions associated with her “Future Nostalgia” album, which was famously released on March 27, 2020, just as the horrors of the pandemic were becoming clear: It’s a dance-party album that arrived at seemingly one of the worst possible times in human history for a dance party album, when there were no parties and the only dancing was done on our own.Yet instead of striking a sour note or seeming like a cruel taunt, it was many people’s escape, their comfort food, their crying blanket — a reminder not only of what we couldn’t have, but what we hoped to get back as everyone wondered, without exaggeration, when or if we’d ever be at a concert or on a crowded dancefloor again.

Since then, not much has been known except for the casting, and if you’re only going on the new teaser from Netflix, you’re not going to learn much else about “The Bubble.” READ MORE: ‘The Bubble’: Judd Apatow’s Pandemic Comedy To Star Pedro Pascal, Karen Gillan, Keegan-Michael Key, Maria Bakalova & Others As seen in the teaser, you won’t even know that the film they’re promoting is actually called “The Bubble.” Instead of a typical trailer, Netflix has decided to do a teaser for the film-within-a-film, “Cliff Beasts 6: The Battle For Everest.” That film looks like a mix of “Jurassic World” meets “Jumanji,” as it follows a group of adventurers having to climb a mountain and fight monsters.
