Dear Radio One…
Dear The DJs of Radio One,
Could you please stop playing Plain White T’s Hey There Delilah AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PLEASE. Every time I hear this drivel I want to go outside and roundhouse kick a swan in the neck like I’m Chuck Norris. I want to help an old lady half way across the road and leave her to make the rest of the way when a bus is coming. I want to put a brick in a bag of puppies, tie it up and drop it in a river. I want to dig a hole on a field, put a land mine in there, then place a weighted £10 note on top of the filled hole and wait, watching until its pops like Malcolm from A Clockwork Orange. Are you getting me yet? This song makes me want to do bad things.
In the average working day you play many bad songs, but of all the offending items on the play list, this is by far the worst. I make my request for the safety of my work colleagues if nothing else. You see, its not my choice to listen to the radio else I would just turn it off, and my suggestion to change the station falls on deaf ears. Mostly I wish your radio station fell on my own deaf ears but being fully aural, even the voices in my own head are not loud enough to shout over this nonsense. I actually enjoy my hearing ability otherwise I might attempt a bit of home surgery with a knitting needle just to stop the pain.
Of the millions of bands in the waiting for their big break, how is as puerile a track as this on the A list of records played on Radio One? Plain White T’s track is as lyrically stimulating as a poem by Joey Deacon. In fact, the track itself could’ve been written by him, so please do check if his family are due any royalties. If not, please check the credits for Natasha Bedingfield; the banality of the track wreaks of her work.
For instance, the brilliant and extremely talented Biffy Clyro deserve all the air time they can get. My suggestion is that the next time you’re reaching for this turgid pile of faecal matter can you please snap the disc, throw it in the nearest bin and replace the track with something by them instead… not Folding Stars though, you already ruined that for me.
Yours looking for to a Plain White T’s free work day,

Like an old person complaining, just younger and without the smell of piss…p.s. If you could also keep both Sara “Common as Muck” Cox and Vernon “Smug Coathanger Mouthed Twat” Kay off the air as much as possible, that would also be great. Thanks!
I drafted this email to Radio Ones DJs in my lunchbreak today but didn’t get chance to finish it and click send. I might do it tomorrow.. who knows…
Any suggestions/modifications before I do are more than welcome…
