The Kunts launch second Christmas number one campaign with "Boris Johnson Is Still A F*cking C*nt"
The Kunts are back with "Boris Johnson Is Still A F*cking C*nt", their second consecutive protest track launched for the UK Christmas number one race.
Following last year's "Boris Johnson Is A F*cking C**t" song, which was backed by Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker and managed to reach the top 10 in the UK Official Singles Chart in the Christmas week, The Kunts have returned with a second consecutive Christmas number one campaign, this time with a follow-up song titled "Boris Johnson Is Still A F*cking C*nt".
The new song, according to Kunt, who spoke to NME, samples The KLF's "Doctorin’ The Tardis", uses the same "tempo and rhythm as Depeche Mode‘s "Personal Jesus"", and closes with "The Addams Family theme on the end because it’s a song you hear a lot without realising it, on piers and in arcades, and there isn’t a more irritating ear-worm."
Kunt added of The Addams Family theme use, "I figured if we get a hit this time round, in years to come whenever anyone hears that Addams Family theme it will remind them what a fucking c**t Boris Johnson was."
Whenn asked what it would mean if the new song got to number one for Christmas, he responded, "It would mean everything. Not just personally but the idea of it being written into the history books that at Christmas 2021 collectively we all stood up and said, ‘We deserve better than this'."
