Nick Cave hires local childrens choir for tour, offends parents

-

In support of his most recent Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds release, Push the Sky Away, Nick Cave has been employing local children’s choirs in each town he performs in.

Unsurprisingly, some parents may not want their kids singing the word “snatch”, as appears in the song ‘Mermaids’, along with some of the other cruder, phallic-heavy notes in Cave’s songbook.

In an interview with the Independent, Cave said: “Sometimes you have to have three or four goes at finding the choir. They come back going, ‘No, no, no.’ Especially in . There were certain songs they wouldn’t sing.” Continuing: “Personally I find that ridiculous, but maybe I’m more liberal with things.”
