Someone desperately wanted to make a negative headline...

So what? I don't know the artist, her fans probably where there to hear that song, terrorists don't deserve to keep influencing the future happiness of people with their actions...

[-] yom_@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

Yeah you’re right. It hasn’t made it to any front page news in France, and if it did, it would mean terrorists won. Glad they haven’t.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 17 points 6 months ago

Yeah, there's no controversy or anything even oniony here.

It's her most famous song. It would be way more surprising if she didn't sing it.

[-] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

its like they think that all of the people directly traumatized by the incident were there on the dance floor lmao

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago

The song is awesome if you like a bit of europop from 2001:

But think of the click revenue! /s

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

I don't think it was meant to paint anyone in a negative light. The article is written very neutrally and quotes the artist addressing the irony.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah I did not receive it in a negative way for the artist but in a way that highlights the absurdity of the situation.

[-] li10@feddit.uk 25 points 6 months ago

Banging song tbh, gotta give it a pass based on that alone.

[-] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Prolly her most famous song.

[-] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Great boost from the movie at least. Havn't heard it in ages, and then that Saltburn movie drops and the song is fucking everywhere

[-] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

TBH its always on the radio here in the UK, just not Radio 1 which is a chart station.

[-] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

But did they kill the groove? Clearly not.

[-] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Better burn the goddamn house right down.

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

She should’ve sung “I Need More Allowance” or even “ Banging on a Trash Can”.

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 19 points 6 months ago

Thank goodness no one has found a place that Electric Six can have a controversy about performing “Nuclear War (On the Dance Floor).”

[-] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I think she'd have gotten away with it had it also been 70 years between the tragedy and the performance, though...

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Holy hell those cheekbones.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

At that point they're chic bones

[-] wahming 10 points 6 months ago

How is this clickbait getting upvoted this much?

I was more worried when I misread it as "Blood on the Dancefloor" (the band) which I thought would be a weird they are performing crunkcore to the mainstream.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

All kinds of bands perform at the Bataclan, last show I've seen there was Lorna Shore, and the previous one was Alcest.

[-] Bourff@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yes, the Bataclan hosts A-list band like Metallica, and also much more confidential ones.

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Let's just say BOTDF wasn't as well regarded as the bands you mentioned.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Next, she'll perform at Re'im
