[Funky]

[octophone]

CISMAS even!!! (not that gammons know what cis means)

In my experience, they don't but they're pretty sure it's a slur every bit as bad - IF NOT WORSE - than the n-word.

 

[Nancy]

WHAT DOES HERRENVOLK MEAN?

 

[Nancy]

DON'T WORRY, I’VE JUST GOOGLED IT

 

[big ron]

DON'T WORRY, I’VE JUST GOOGLED IT

SAME

 

[dUb]

Well I’ve just googled it AND I’m going to share the results


Herrenvolk
/ˈhɛr(ə)nfɒlk,ˈhɛr(ə)nfəʊk/

noun

1. the German nation as considered by the Nazis to be innately superior to others.

 

[big ron]

I was going to post it but got distracted by calling Lawrence Fox a cunt.

 

[Nancy]

LOOK OUT FOR HERRENVOLK IN AN ASFM COMING SOON!

 

[octophone]

I was going to post it but got distracted by calling Lawrence Fox a cunt.

I think "herrenvolk shite" is essentially unbeatable and must now be the stick with which Fox is twitter-beaten.

 

[Loufoque]

Remember when people used to consider this the Christmas song? Thank God for Millennials and the gay agenda.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who googled herrenvolk.

 

[lolly]

that’s just like saying, our younger audience are less homophobic than our older audience whereas our indie listeners are on the fence. So we’ll just react to what they want, as opposed to what’s right.

It really riles me. Complete lack of integrity. Either do what's right or don't and deal with the consequences either way.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who googled herrenvolk.

I could have hazarded a guess but yeah, I needed to Google. I will be using it in all circumstances from now on.

Said with some Irish drawl its practically erotic

 

[Nancy]

YES, I WILL BE USING GOOGLE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES FROM NOW ON TOO.

 

[Tisch]

I've not read any further on this other than the BBC article headline, but that's annoyed me. Why can't radio just play a nice censored version from now on without it being a big NEWS STORY and POINT OF DISCUSSION and DEBATE. We're all so bored and tired.

 

[VoR]

It's foolproof annual clickbait that just serves to divide us even more. Hate the whole discussion TBH. It's ruined the song way more than the actual word ever could.

 

[Penelope]

The BBC sending out a press release YET AGAIN pretending to be blithely unaware that it'll kick up this same dogshit debate as it does when they do it every other year

"At least we're at the centre of the national conversation guys!!!!"

 

[Tisch]

I am NOT getting embroiled in this this year, I'm just not.

But I had to share this. Sarah Vine is such a wet ass idiot.

 

[ButterTart]

Can we all agree that Ronan Keating covering it (with amended lyrics) was a great example of two wrongs not making a right?

 

[Nancy]

WHO DID HE SING IT WITH?

 

[RJN]

To make it fair, he needs to cover WAP as well

 

[Kate]

What a thick cunt.

 

[ButterTart]

Also just had to check this version from 2016 and Jessica Anderson very much DOES use the word on noted homosexual Magnus Carlsson

 

[ButterTart]

WHO DID HE SING IT WITH?

Maire Brennan off the Clannad.

 

[Kate]

Has there ever been an ACTUALLY GOOD cover? I think we need one. I suggest Kano and Julie.

I don't see why Sarah Vine is so unhappy about Radio 1 playing a song about a cat that got stuck out in the rain.

 

[ButterTart]

Drop Dead Cynical is famously a cover of it, just with different words and melody.

 

[GNL]

I don't see why Sarah Vine is so unhappy about Radio 1 playing a song about a cat that got stuck out in the rain.

The closing number from Cardi B's Breakfast at Tiffany's concept album.

 

[octophone]

I suggest Charli XCX and Troye Sivan. Produced by SOPHIE.

 

[COB]

Troye to take the Kirsty part and call Charli a cheap lousy cishet

 

[lolly]

Up to #26 this week, although still behind Mariah and Wham at #14 and #20.

This was the highest on sales only though, which I assume was thanks to some campaign. Still only #16, so no great success in any real sense.

 

[Madíson]

Let’s just learn from history and do what they did in 1987 - play ‘Always On My Mind’ instead.
