I'm buying my two year old the Darkness one cause she is absolutely mad on them - She has good taste!!!

[Ahh_Pathetic]

yes a song with a pun on bell end for a small child. every childs best christmas present.

[Bored_mum]

She is two - it is not rude to her - and I am not likely to sit her down and explain to her about it am I. I liked Madness 'House of Fun' when I was a child, and I didn't question that. The fact of that matter is, it is only rude if that is where your mind takes it - and that is not where my two year olds mind goes!!!! (Obviously) So as it is her favourite song at the moment, and it is about Christmas then yes, it is her 'best Christmas present' as you so nicely put it.

House of Fun was rude????? My whole image of Madness has been shattered...

I drive past a street called Bell End every time I go through Wollaston... Genius.

How is house of fun rude?

[MK Chris]

Good morning miss
Can I help you son?
Sixteen today
And up for fun
I'm a big boy now
Or so they say....

....Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the lion's den
Temptation's on his way
Welcome to the House of
N-n-n-n-n-n-no no miss
You misunderstood
Sixteen big boy
Full pint in my manhood

To name but a few.

Thank you Aaron and Topher you have proved my point - and I was listening to The Darkness song yesterday and I think it is just The Golden Vision having a dirty mind. 'Don't let the Bells end' is hardly X-rated material.

It wasn't me who proved your point. If it was x-rated material it wouldn't be on the radio1 a-list would it?

[Bored_mum]

How is house of fun rude? - is my point, it isn't unless that is what you hear. And again 'If it was x-rated material it wouldn't be on the radio1 a-list would it?' EXACTLY so The Golden Visions point of it not being sutible for a child is OTT, that is my point.

[Aaron]

I was actually agreeing with you but........

[Bored_mum]

Sorry Aaron........thanks

I don't buy singles. I prefer to get the whole album. If you buy it off the web, then an album normally costs the same as two singles.

Well Remind me then smartarse what album is The Darkness-Christmas time, Proper crimbo, Ozzy and Kelly-Changes and that Gary Jules loser on then sonny.

Class!

I didn't mean you could get them all on one album (even though you might be able to in the near future). I meant if you're spending the money to get a single with 3 or 4 songs (or sometimes 4 versions of the same one) you might as well spend a little bit extra and get the album. Especially when a group releases several singles from the same album.

A single without a dvd/video malarkey on it is usually about 2 quid from a decent shop(look!). Get jobs!!!
But that being said, Christmas records are hardly on proper albums unless its a "best of" or a "Christmas special" unless your buying a Clif Record.
And supporting your favourite band means buying singles, especially as some have a few smashin' b sides on them. For a fan that is a good thing.

I think X rated is too stronger word. Maybe "Adult references" would be better, witch is in everything. Even a few subtle jokes are in family films. It never harmed anyone, it's life and people are too prude about it.

X rated is more like the locked sky channels you allways tried to unlock as a kid. Not a little pun on a bell end. Every lad has one of them(I hope), come on!

[Gigglyboots]

yeah just in case giggly was about you know

Oh thanks

I'm just dopey, not stupid.
