Sally Pepper’s songs are powerful, meaningful message carriers that issue a clarion call to the masses. “Click Bait” in its original form a fabulous song. Now Sally has rerecorded it with some support from her bestie Millie Manders. The new version, entitled, “Clickbait Reissued”, is as punk as fuck and rocks out like a barely contained music cyclone. The song slams the press, particularly tabloids, and lays bare the lies and hypocrisy that continues to be reported as truth. The full lyrics are great but some highlights for me are “But the only thing to cause offence is your lack of fucking common sense” which is clearly aimed at the idiots and hate mongers that feed off the shit that gets published. Then there is the “You’re not racist ‘cos you’ve got a friend who’s black, But you think it’s safest if we just send them back“. which sums up everyone that I have ever heard start a sentence with “I’m not a racist but …..“. As long as the world has people like Sally Pepper and Millie Manders in it then there is hope! I will be seeing Millie Manders and the Shutup live at the Crescent in York tomorrow and one of the support acts is Sally Pepper. Will we see a fully charged live version of “Clickbait Reissued” performed by Sally, Millie and the Shutup? I certainly hope so. Incidentally is that the Shutup playing on the track?
