delboy Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 apparently any song which has the word england in it is not to be played on radio 1 during the world cup so as not to upset the other nations of the UK! good thing or bad thing? i dont mind cos a) i rarely listen to radio 1 except for specialist shows and b) most footy songs with the noteable exception of world in motion are terrible anyway!

Metarie Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 It's a stupid reason, there's no reason why they shouldn't play England football songs as long as they're playing ones from the other nations (note - I have no idea if any other UK nations are in the World Cup, and I don't really care either). In my opinion they shouldn't play football songs because they're shit. Except maybe for Three Lions which I still think of as the offical England team song. But yeah, it can't be a bad thing if Radio 1 listeners aren't being bombarded with the Crazy Frog effort and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio 1 have had someone on Radio 5 stating it's bullshit and no such ruling was made. It's actaully about songs making the A playlist, not about banning any song with Ingerlund in it. The fact that 500 cash in songs have been released for the Ingerlund 2006 campaign with 99.9% of them being unfit for human ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 It's the media overhype that causes alot of this pro england crap. There is no doubt it winds people up and creates hatred. Banning this shit is a good idea, the world cup aint even started and i'm sick of this england shit allready. Hopefully they will get put out early so to stop these people from going way over the top as they always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what the propaganda states, there's nothing like a bit of factual evidence...http://in.rediff.com/sports/2006/jun/01fwlead01.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
