The Kunts Launch Fresh Bid For Christmas No 1 – ‘Boris Johnson Is Still A F***ing C*nt’

3 years ago | December 20, 2021 | Written By Fraser Kerr

Satirical explicit political punk band, The Kunts, have launched a fresh bid for UK Christmas No 1 with another poke at the Prime Minister.

Last year the band ended up getting to No 5 in the UK Christmas charts with their single ‘Boris Johnson Is A Fucking Cunt’. This achievement was made with only “people power”, with the song having no backing from a promotion company or a record label. The band have subsequently returned this year with ‘Boris Johnson Is STILL A Fucking Cunt’ plus 10 alternative versions.

The new song – which in true punk fashion is really short, coming in at just over a minute long – includes samples from Depeche Mode and the theme from The Addams Family. Some of the alternative versions of the song have seen collaborations with other online personalities, including remixes from Dan Bull and Cassetteboy.

The renewed efforts to get to number 1 come just a week after it came to light that Boris Johnson and his government allegedly had “Wine and Cheese” parties when the rest of the county was locked down. The government have also recently tried to put through a bill to try and stop ordinary people lawfully and peacefully protesting against them.

Take a listen to the tracks here (YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Apple Music):

The weekend has already seen a good start for the single with it coming in at No 5 on the midweek chart, being the second-most downloaded track of the week.

Last year we were midweek No.19, this year we are midweek No.5…so can we end up 4 places higher than last year? Well that's down to YOU and your clever friends…

The song has also appeared in the charts of digital services too, with it appearing multiple times on Amazon Music’s current top 10 ranking of best-selling songs. The song is also at the top of a few iTunes Charts including the Alternative, Hip-Hop/Rap, Metal, and Rock – where it features at both No 1 and 2 – as well as sitting at No 7 in the overall charts.

The Kunts single has already caught the attention of many including Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker. The London Underground service information was even seen promoting it.

HUGE thank you to the 'unnamed tube station staff' who did this. We know you had to wipe it soon after (not before an intrigued many punters stopped and nodded) but we're grateful

Get all 10 downloads (they count higher in the chart) for £5.90
