The Labour party has apologised for using a soundtrack with “completely inappropriate” lyrics in a promotional TikTok video.
The video features AI-generated animals including a hare dressed as a nurse, a bulldog in a police uniform and a hedgehog wearing dungarees.
But the party took down the video when viewers swiftly translated the Portuguese-language lyrics to the backing track by DJ Holanda – which describe smoking marijuana and having sex with a “bitch”.
The lyrics to Montagem Coral urge a “naughty young girl” to “sit” on the singer’s “pot-crazy dick” and ends with repetition of the line: “Just a punch in the young girl’s pussy.”
“Perfect combination is sex, beer and marijuana,” sings DJ Holanda, whose real name is Lucas Holanda. “The young girls are addicted.”
A Labour spokesperson said: “This post is an adaptation of a viral social media trend and contains a mix of two music tracks. We acknowledge the translation of the lyrics is completely inappropriate. We apologise and the video has now been deleted.”
The video was posted as Keir Starmer attempted to fend off criticism from the likes of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, and Conservative and Reform MPs about the government’s response to the grooming gangs scandal. The prime minister hit back at those “spreading lies and misinformation” about the gangs.
Alicia Kearns, the Conservative MP for Rutland and Stamford, questioned the choice of music and challenged Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, in a post on Musk’s X.
“Do you think it’s acceptable, Yvette Cooper, for your party to put out videos with lyrics encouraging men to get young girls on drugs so they can have sex with them, and celebrating punching girls in their vaginas? So much for telling us we’ll feel safer with you in charge,” she wrote.
