Chewing on Tinfoil - Fairytale of New York - Pogues cover

[han090]

Did you get rid of the word "faggot" cause you thought it was offensive? Why did you leave the word "slut" then?

[ChewingOnTinfoilEire]

@han090 While the male character uses the word slut to describe the individual actions of his lover, we'd interpret the female character's use of the word faggot to lean towards the (unfortunately) common scenario where a declaration of a particular sexual preference is considered an insult in and of itself. The changing of the lyrics had nothing to do with making it more radio friendly, but simply with our uncomfortableness with using someones sexual identity as a weapon against them.
