Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls "Banned" ...your view?

**Pauro 76** · 24/09/2007, 2:55 PM

Ban the song because it's a dire monstrosity. But because the word 'suicide' appears in a song, that doesnt mean the suicide rate is going to go up. I think 'suicide' has actually appeared in a song chorus before.

Ash - Burn Baby Burn anyone?

Look into my tired eyes
See someone you dont recognise
Words that cant be untied
Oh this is slow suicide.

They didnt ban that. Or INXS 'Suicide Blonde' for that matter....

Say no to censorship.

a poor effort by Ash' standards and a standard dirge from the hangin'wankies ...I might've banned them both meself.

I'd ban the song, and kill anyone who sings it at matches, but then again I tend to be a bit of a right wing meglomaniac these days

Song should be banned for ripping off "STAND BY ME"

**Risteard** · 25/09/2007, 9:53 PM

Sampling you mean.
I'd have thought the writer of that song (Did Ben E King compose?) is credited.

Don't care, too many artists(if you can call them that) just getting lazy & sampling/ using other peoples songs with their own lyrics,vast majority of which wreck classic tunes.

Im fairness, if it weren't for sampling I'd have never come across the great music of George Clinton, James Brown, Bootsy, Pariament-Funkadelic, Cameo, Zapp, the list goes on. I have to thank producers who sample for that.

So true, so true. If only....I'd also settle for a military coup and a few years of martial law.

You know Smithers, I've never believed in suicide, but... if you'd like to try it, it might cheer me up to watch.

And they didn't ban that movie.

I heard that version coming home from harps saturday, makes the song sound ten times worse. Now official bella rating of -20, although its one of the annoying ones that always in my head.

INXS 'Suicide Blonde'

That's a reference to diy blondes - dyed by their own hands, not an actual suicide reference. Oh and it pre-dates the INXS song.

Thankfully, up until last week I presumed the song in reference to this thread was that 'Hey girls you are beautiful' one, until they played a clip on the news. I'm still managing to avoid hearing it in it's entirety.

Firstly I haven't heard the song but I will say that Censorship like this is wrong, stupid & naieve. Rather than ban the song it should be used to promote discussion about the rising trend of teenage/young suicides.

Does anyone else remember the controversey when Dave Fanning played "Cop Killer" from Ice-T's bodycount album. Some idiot from the Gardai was on TV saying how irresponsible it was and RTE should be ashamed etc... it turned out he had neither heard the song or read the lyrics! These things tend to bring out the Irish equivalent to "Annoyed from Tunbridge Wells".
