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...

[–] moody@lemmings.world 17 points 2 years 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.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago

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

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

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 2 years 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 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Prolly her most famous song.

[–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago

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

But did they kill the groove? Clearly not.

[–] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Better burn the goddamn house right down.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Holy hell those cheekbones.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

At that point they're chic bones

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 10 points 2 years ago

How is this clickbait getting upvoted this much?

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 years ago

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

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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

Next, she'll perform at Re'im
