Earlier, I wondered at the thinking of those at BBC Radio One who decided to censor some of the more provocative and colorful lyrics in Fairytale of New York
After the reversal of that decision, I feel like theorizing/speculating.
Perhaps the person(s) in question had money on the Pogues classic being this years Christmas number one and correctly reasoned that their decision to censor the song would provoke a flurry of criticism and publicity. This attention would instigate a popular movement with sufficient momentum to propel the single to number one, ahead of the X-Factor person (thereby getting one over on ITV) or at least bring the odds down so that they could close out the bet in profit (if they used betfair).
But thats mere speculation on my part.
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
Ive got a feeling
This years for me and you
