Apparently Rage Against The Machine fans are trying to do battle with the evil Cowell Empire by d/loading "Killing In The Name Of" from December the 13th. The Christmas number 1 slot always goes to the X Factor winner now, which is tedious.

The fans (of course) have a Facebook Group.

The song contains 17 mentions of the F word which I can imagine will horrify certain sections of the press and public. The band are political activists, anti-globalisation, anti-capitalist, anti-racism...anti...well anything nasty and right wing really.
A snippet of the (clean bits!) lyrics:Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Personally I think it's a choooooon, but I love a good shouty rock song. Though in light of recent world events I reckon "Sleep Now In The Fire" the anti-capitalist song might have made more of a statement. It's video was filmed by Michael Moore in front of Wall Street
Anyway, ho ho ho and all that
Thoughts?
