Changed Lyrics On Cilla's Compilation Show
11 Answers
I watched the BBC compilation of the Cilla Black TV shows last night and in the song Liverpool lullaby the words were 'when he hears the things that you did, you'll get a belt from your dad' which is how I remember it. However on the programme last week dedicated to her the same song had the word 'belt' changed but I can't remember what it was think it was something like 'you'll get told off by your dad' - was this just political correctness gone mad?

Apparently Cilla Black changed the lyrics herself. http:// www. dailymail. co. uk/ news/ article- 2467653/ Its- lorra- lorra- political- correctness- Cilla- Black- rewrites- belting- child- song. html

‘Cilla felt some of the sentiment could have been made more relevant for today'
I agree with this as lyrics from other songs have been changed for this reason. In the old days you would 'gerra belt from your Da' but hopefully these days it isn't used and again (hopefully) you would just get told off. x

I confess to have been among the Cilla-bashers, although I certainly don't hate her.
My issue was that, having moved to the stokebroker belt, and ditched her natural accent in favour of pronounced English, Ms Black then developed a charicature persona of her former self, constantly shoe-horning phrases about 'Clure with the fur hur ...' , and the ubiquitous 'Lorra lorra laughs ...' which were crashingly unfunny, and cropped up with monotonous regularity on any of her TV appearances.
I have no problem with people changing their location, and polishing up their accent if they wish, but lampooning her origins and developing a cartoon version of herself I found unedifying.

Hope she had permission to change the lyrics.
