The Proclaimers have written a song about Jimmy Savile and the BBC child abuse scandal.
The track, entitled Then Again, refers to the 1970s child ring at Westminster and features on the Proclaimer's new album Let’s Hear It For The Dogs.
Savile was a presenter on the BBC's Top of the Pops when The Proclaimers, Craig and Charlie, became famous in the 1980s.
Savile was a presenter on the BBC's Top of the Pops when The Proclaimers, Craig and Charlie, became famous in the 1980s.
Craig and Charlie reportedly sing:
"How many dodgy men were running TV.
"While I was growing into a man
"They took advantage of their fans.
"When I was a boy
"They were stars of prime time television.
"But circumstances change
"But circumstances change
"And some of them ended up in prison.
"Now maybe we were on Top of the Pops.
"Some of the hosts have got the chop.
"I'm sleeping soundly in my bed
"Cos Jimmy Savile is still dead."

A source close to the band said:
"The crux of the song is that those victims and their families are being told that abuse took place in the distant past and that it was then and not now.

"But the full truth has still to come out and though the music is upbeat the lyrics have a particular bite."
