Where's the heat when we turn off the lights Where's the thrill at the end of our fights Where's the pain when you walk out the door Did anyone else have the misfortune to hear this one by The Saturdays. I'm not at all someone who goes looking for things to be offended by, but this just seems to have crossed a line for me (personally) and I feel I need to at least try to do something about it. I am also going to contact SWR3, which is the main big radio station down here, and see what they say about playing it. Were it to be eg about abusing a child in this way, it'd be off the air pretty quick (and I'd put money on DT not using it in an ad, no matter how chirpy the tune was). I pointed out the inappropriateness of using such a song in their ads, and also said that it seemed to be ok to play it everywhere, no doubt because it was about abusing a woman. I included a translation of the lyrics that I found on the internet. It's not only on the radio, it's on tv too.Īnd the usual sorts of songs that contain lyrics so sick and offensive do tend to be in a different music category altogether - as I said in the OP, not that that makes it better, but it does mean it is not quite as in-your-face as pop music. I believe there's been at least a couple of threads about it on here, in fact.īut what has bothered me most I suppose is that it is being played everywhere and is even used in an ad for Deutsche Telekom. Well yes, there are lots of dreadful songs, with dreadful lyrics, around.
I keep hoping that it is somehow ironic or something other than utterly sick, twisted and unacceptable in every possible way. Even the big critic will have to admit that Milow once again has a very strong asset with this album.It is a nice, catchy tune, played quite a lot on all major radio stations here in Germany (don't know if it's a hit or even released the UK). You And Me (In My Pocket) has a bouncy melody that simply settles into your head. In addition to daring, Vandenbroeck also shows craftsmanship at North And South. The candid opening song Son is a nice tribute: 'The hardest part was growing up your son.' A bold phrase that enhances the impact of the song. The CD is dedicated to his late father Ivo Vandenbroeck. Now there is finally the third full-length album by the Flemish with North And South. Later, the live snack Maybe Next Year (2009) was also released. His record company hastily released a compilation album to meet the demand for the singer's new work.
In the Netherlands, Vandenbroeck alias Milow had a big hit with the single You Don't Know (2006) and took first place with the 50 Cent cover Ayo Technology (2008). The singer / songwriter Jonathan Vandenbroeck is a hero in his home country Belgium and can also break a lot in the rest of Europe.
