It’s a lorra lorra political correctness: Cilla Black rewrites her’ belting a child’ song
Former Blind date host changed a line of the Liverpool Lullaby during a performance to make it more ‘family friendly’
She said the original lyric in which a child is told he will ‘gerra belt from your dad’ is now ‘inappropriate’ and sang:’You’ll get told off by your dad’ insteadThe star’s agent and manager said “No one advocates people taking a belt to their children today, obviously. It is just not appropriate. It may have been acceptable when the song first came out but it isn’t today.’
A spokesman for ITV last night said the star and the broadcaster had agreed to amend the song.
‘Cilla felt some of the sentiment could have been made more relevant for today,’ he said. ‘She discussed it with everyone and there was a feeling it was the right way to go.’
