BBC Radio 1 will play an edited version of Christmas favourite Fairytale Of New York in a bid to avoid offending listeners.
The Pogues' gritty festive hit with Kirsty MacColl is a Christmas staple, though in recent years it has been the focus of debate over its lyrics.
The song includes the words "faggot" and "slut".
This year, Radio 1 will play an alternative version of the track, with the record label providing different lyrics sung by MacColl.
It is understood Radio 1 bosses were wary of offending younger listeners with derogatory terms for gender and sexuality.
