Amy Winehouse has apologized for a video of her and a friend singing a racist version of the children’s favorite ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ in May of last year. News of the World says of the clip
[Husband Blake Fielder-Civil] pretends NOT to record and [says]: “Can we have a singsong of it?” Amy enthusiastically sings: “Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips! And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!” She repeats the first line over again and pulls her eyes into slits then pushes her boobs up.
Just when “black” and “Paki” became racial slurs I’m sure I don’t know, but of course, sensitive people everywhere think that they’re outraged. Shocked and outraged. To be honest, I’m a little disappointed. I could make up three or four waaay more racist children’s songs off the top of my head without even trying. And I’m not entirely convinced that “I’m a Little Teapot” and “Hey Diddle Diddle” aren’t already racist children’s songs that nobody’s caught on to yet.
