Because if people are so sensitive about a party song talking about dieing, then I don't see how a song about being locked out of heaven or screaming and shouting is any better. Yes I realize that's not what they're about, but Die Young isn't about children dieing either... I get that there's a slight difference, but both of them are actually gaining spins faster.
Yes, Let's drop Girl On Fire then because its about somebody being on fire, or Home cause they didn't get to go home.
Oh, also in 1989, after the San Francisco earthquake, Martika's cover of Carole King's "I Feel The Earth Move" was similarly pulled from radio, ultimately killing its chart performance.
And after 9/11, there was an entire memorandum of songs that Clear Channel suggested that its radio stations did not play.

It's "Let's make the most of the night like we're going to die young". It's not even talking about actually dieing young, just hypothetically.
Whatever. Although it doesn't offend me, I understand that it offends many people, so I agree with DJ's pulling it. I just don't see why they don't censor a word or two. Ke$ha's label should send out a radio edit replacing "we're gonna die young" with "there's no tomorrow". Problem solved.
The song was over anyway. The title alone is offensive, and there's "C'Mon" to focus on. It's a good thing and a bad thing.

Why is Don't You Worry My Child not getting +500 updates? I'd imagine people would enjoy listening to that after the recent events.
Does anyone have access to recurrent spins? I'm curious to see if Pumped Up Kicks has dropped from ~500 spins to 0 yet.
I wouldn't expect you to understand alot of things.
