BBC Radio 1 will play edited version of ‘Fairytale Of New York’
Guardian reported.Instead of “you cheap, lousy f—ot,” the song will use the line, “you’re cheap and you’re haggard,” the outlet reported.In another verse, the word “slut” will be muted.“We know the song is considered a Christmas classic and we will continue to play it this year, with our radio stations choosing the version of the song most relevant for their audience,” a BBC spokesperson said.The original version will still be played on BBC Radio 2, likely due to its older audience, the outlet reported.
