uk sound 1 bosses have today reversed their decision to censor the word " faggot " from the 20 year original " nightmarish of new york " song by the pogues . the first censoring of the recording caused controversy previously as the song had been played for 20 weeks without censoring , and resulted in many people contacting the bbc saying the decision was " silly " . the restriction was also lambasted for the fact that it only application to radio 1 and not to radio 2 or any other station on the broadcast group .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
