(Dead Kennedys) P.M. Maggie Thatcher stars in "Kinky Sex Makes the World Go 'Round"!
There's word from NPR's Philip Reeves in London that BBC's Radio 1 now says its weekend Official Chart show will play "a [very short] clip in a journalistic environment" of "Ding Dong The
Witch Is Dead," which critics of former Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher pushed up the British charts this week after the Iron Lady's
death. The BBC has more:
"BBC Radio 1 controller Ben Cooper has said that a 'four or five' second clip of the Wizard of Oz song at the center of an anti-Margaret Thatcher campaign will be played on the Official Chart Show. Sales of 'Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead' have soared since the former Prime Minister's death on Monday, aged 87.
Original post — "Thatcher Critics Make 'Ding Dong' No 1; Should BBC Play It?":"Mr. Cooper called the decision 'a difficult compromise' and said he was 'stuck between a rock and a hard-place.' "
The death this week of former British P.M. Margaret Thatcher has provoked may words of praise — and many celebrations by those who did not admire the Iron Lady.
Among the things her critics have done is push "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead," from The Wizard of Oz, into the No. 1 spot on the U.K. singles chart. More
