The Controversy Surrounding Tom Jones’ ‘Delilah’: A Deep Dive into its Political Implications in Wales

2023-07-25 08:39:54

“Why, why, why Delilah” is the refrain of the pop song by the interpreter Tom Jones, who stormed the charts in the sixties. To this day it buzzes through the heads of a generation that grew up with this song.

Now, more than fifty years later, concerned contemporaries have recognized the potential danger of the simple song. Because the pop interpreter Tom Jones sings regarding a lover who languishes in front of his beloved’s house, who is just cheating on him with someone else. He fantasizes regarding stabbing her once the rival is gone. It is unclear whether the sufferer really takes action.

Regardless, Welsh rugby officials have come to believe the song is a poorly veiled appeal to male fans to assassinate their partners.

The question arises as to why “Delilah” is a political issue in Wales at all. Tom Jones, it must be remembered, is a national saint in the outskirts of Britain and rugby is the main men’s sport there. In the past, accusations have repeatedly been made that sexism and racism are rampant in this milieu.

Clearly the rugby people have learned their lesson and that is to step in to make political correctness right.
