Menschkin Blurry at Maggie Hard Dong Song.

"Thatcher was a well loved radio personality in her own right"on a thatcher tribute programme

*clip of derek and clive going on about how they want thatcher to come round and give them the horn*

 

[ddraig]

From what i've read the idiot tory's are buying bulk copy's so will probably get most of them disqualified. They only started today as well so i doubt they will catch up and as Butchers pointed out it's an anti-thatcher song anyway!

proper fucking funny!

 

[ddraig]

read the reviews on amazon.

Is this a dream? Does the best selling paper in the country really lead on their weekend edition with Munchkin Fury At Maggie Ding Dong Song? How can i explain this to my foreign mates?

 

[butchersapron]

Have i the chronology of this week right?

Monday Thatcher dies.
Friday Munchkin Fury At Maggie Ding Dong Song.

 

[moochedit]

and elvis costelo tramp the dirt down and the ella fitzgerald version of ding dong should be in the top 40 somewhere.

 

[elbows]

It appears the Not Sensibles have another song that might be up Mensch's street.

 

[JimW]

There needs to be a band called Munchkin Fury

Duo with Davey Arthur.

 

[butchersapron]

Only takes a couple of thousand in Ireland.

[butchersapron]

This does get a % of the sales no matter who owns the rights.

Yip Harburg, lyricist of “The Wizard of Oz” film, would have been amused that “Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead” rose to the top of the charts when Margaret Thatcher died. W. S. Gilbert and George Bernard Shaw taught Yip Harburg, democratic socialist, sworn challenger of all tyranny against the people, that “humor is an act of courage” and dissent.

Louise Mensch ✔ @LouiseMensch

No song should be banned by the BBC unless its lyrics are pre-watershed. Thatcher stood for freedom. She'd have hated #Leveson


That's your one banned then dumbo.

 

[elbows]

Maybe they will play one of the live versions

'look at these cunts. what the fuck?' should cover it.

 

[gunneradt]

To clear up any possible misunderstandings, could you define what is meant by a "puff" please?

someone that's a little bit woolly - like a whet as they were termed

[rosecore]

She's only been dead a few days, but Tories everywhere continue to wank over her corpse by buying a song that entertains such an idea.

Mensch was also claiming Murdoch had the rights to "Ding Dong" turns out it's actually Time Warner. The jokes continue.

 

[butchersapron]

Just to re-iterate the BBC's gutless line:

“The BBC finds this campaign distasteful but does not believe the record should be banned,” - so we've taken the decision to refuse to play it instead of banning it.

 

[ddraig]

why are they so thick with this stuff?
or quit while they're behind on the song front at least

CON 28%, LAB 42%, LDEM 12%,

Its not that Labour are doing 'well' but that during the mourning and deification of Thatch the tories have taken a hit with 4 points opening up between them and labour since Sunday

CON 30%, LAB 40%,

Perhaps its just noise, but its interesting that when they went full bore Imperial Funeral for her nibs and their polling took a tanking.

 

[Favelado]

Until this point the historical record of the aftermath of Thatcher's death is going to be that it was a farce for her. If the funeral isn't a rip-roaring success it's going to be a write-off. Let's hope they put a statue of her on the Fourth Plinth so that they end up having to guard it 24 hours a day or remove it. For eternity, her unpopularity will be recorded in a dozen different ways after all this.

That was one from two days ago, new one has the gap down to 10. Lab still on 42% though. Basically nothing has changed.

The beeb arn't taking a position there are they? i thought they were impartial!
