What's The Problem With Meat Products Being Mentioned In Songs?

[ToraToraTora]

The fairy Tale of New York, one of favourites but they seem to have changed the words and ruined it.

[ToraToraTora]

Sorry meant to say just heard my first xmas song this year.

That's been rumbling on for years and Shane addressed it some years ago.  He had no objection to the word being bleeped out.

My objection is an equally offensive word remains

On the first day of Christmas
My AB love sent to me:
A partridge cooked in red wine

On the second day of Christmas
My AB love sent to me:
Two turtle soups  and
A partridge cooked in red wine

On the third day of Christmas
My AB love sent to me:
Three guinea fowls
Two turtle soups and
A partridge cooked in red wine

On the fourth day of Christmas
My AB love sent to me:
Four naked birds
Three guinea fowls
Two turtle soups and
A partridge cooked in red wine

On the fifth day of Christmas
My AB love sent to me:
Five mince pies
Four naked birds
Three guinea fowls
Two turtle soups and
A partridge cooked in red wine

then:

Six geese a-roasting
Seven swans a-steaming
Eight maids a-milking                                                            Nine steaks frying                                                                    Ten chops a-marinading
Eleven Piper-Maris piping                                                         

and  

Twelve ABers a-grumbling

There is no problem really TTT, even with Vegetarians.  Most of these sort of things come from the extremist vegans and he who shouts loudest these days gets their way even if they are a tiny fraction of the population.

[ToraToraTora]

You can get vegan ones....

I think you know fine well the word is not used in the context of meat products.  It is not vegans that are claiming offence

[ToraToraTora]

....well I'm shocked Barry 😁

Be a funny old world in a hundred years time, once everything's been redone to suit the dweebs.

[Ellipsis]

It's fine on Spotify if you have enabled offensive words like ***, *** or ***.  But in general broadcast, those words are not acceptable in polite society, which is why they're bleeped out or changed - like they probably are in my own post here.

[Old_Geezer]

Just another moustache drawn on the Mona Lisa.

[Mozz71]

I doubt if Shane would've cared either way. Still, when songs such as WAP get made, I don't see what it matters. No person fond of such meaty goodness probably care either.

[Arksided]

Have they really.. blimey! is nothing sacred anymore. I listen to talksport so haven't heard it. I'm a meatarsaurus (Jurassic Park) Omnivore really. but com on... they should behave!

[Canary42]

When I was a nipper only six months old

My Mother and my Father, too

They didn't know what to wean me on

They were in a dreadful stew

They thought of tripe, they thought of steak

Or a little bit of old cod roe

I said, "Pop round to the old cook-shop

And I tell ya what'll make me grow"

 

Boiled beef and carrots

Boiled beef and carrots

That's the stuff for your 'darby-kell'

Makes you fat and it keeps you well

Don't live like vegetarians

On food they give to parrots

Blow out your kite

From morn' till night

On boiled beef and carrots

[Arksided]

Nice Canary, I love animals and each to their own... but do like my meat. Poor carrots what have they done 😐

02.17 doesnt sound very appetising! Surely there's other things in this dish?
