Your lad, unfortunately, in this day and age gets to hear run of the mill swear words day in, day out. Whether in school, the street, the television, even in normal conversation. You’ll never protect his ears from it, never, but a song about a father raping his son takes things to a whole new level don’t you think?
It’s been sung for years , I went to Brighton about 20 years ago and 200 got off the train and were signing the same song about Jan Molby ,yes it’s awful,but you can’t just single out one song,IMHO. If you don’t agree ,that’s fine, but whilst I appreciate I don’t have 15000 posts to my name other less prolific posters are entitled to their opinions , even if it’s different to yours
The Hymns ‘N’ Arias song was sang about Molby?? Can’t recall that. And yes, you can single out one song, it’s easy. Your last sentence sums up your views on it, you say it’s awful earlier in the post yet your last sentence hmmmmmm! You admit your opinion is different on it, so as much as you’re protecting your lad’s ears, you end up condoning it.
What has the number of posts got to do with things? The two lads I go down with don’t bother with forums yet they abhor the song.
Hmmmm? Regarding your statement regarding your views on my son hearing bad language, sorry I don’t agree with you ,and just to reiterate the song you’re referring to is horrific.
Another one I hate is the anti English songs , as my parents are English and it’s cringeworthy when they sing it down the city.
As I say we all have different opinions don’t we ?
No you don’t sound like an old fart re. your son hearing such language but if he’s of primary school age and you’re taking him down the City he’s quite familiar with ‘industrial’ language. I dread the thought of playground language being littered with it but for you to lump it in with a song about paedophilia is wrong, quite wrong. Forget opinions, swearing in conversation or in the lyrics of a chant or song is a world away from a song about a man raping his son. Surely you see that.
When my daughter was about 11 years old and we used to stand on the Bob Bank there was a man who stood close to us who would spend much of the game shouting at players, the linesman and the ref, most of the shouting included the sort of language that tv comentators apologise for. I jokingly covered my daughter's ears, she said "We hear much worse than that at school". Unless your children are little angels I very much doubt if they would find either of the chants you quote offensive.
