| | George Michael song satirizes Bush, Blair-World Buzz-Entertainment-NEWS-The Times of India (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | The song, Shoot the Dog, is considered the most politically daring so far by a pop star best known around the world for more syrupy hits, such as Careless Whispers, and his fashionable quiff, snazzy sunglasses, permatan and controversial 1998 exploits in a Los Angeles toilet. |
 | | The lyrics, which Michael admits stray into "dangerous territory", launch what some music critics are calling a new 'pop protest' movement on forbidden ground â“ the response of America and the West to the September 11 attacks. |
 | | The animated video of the new song, which controversially shows Michael arriving in the Blairs' bedroom on a nuclear missile and then apparently attempting to seduce Cherie Blair, is focussed on an explosive mix of Islamophobia, the West's sense of fear and retribution. |
