Labours TikTok Ad - WTF!!!

[SkiingonKaraSea]

Have you seen Labours new TikTok ad?

https://www.tiktok.com/@uklabour/video/7456091774868639008?lang=en

These are apparently the translated lyrics of the song playing on it:

Good grief , I thought it was a spoof but thr Telegraph has picked it up.
TikTok stunt sparks criticism that party prefers ‘artificial intelligence slop’ over skilled artists

It doesn't mention the lyrics though.

WTAF

I thought it was just a bit cringe, but what the fuck, those lyrics.

Who do they have on comms, this if fucking dreadful

Gonna appeal to the youff init

Bloody hell. I thought it was a spoof

Wtaf

Christ alive, where to start? The furries are really sinister, the music makes me want to switch off instantly.
The lyrics WTAF, Labour Party?

Oh FFS 🤦‍♀️

Is this actually real?!!! Bloody hell if true.

The truly scary and sinister furries are bad enough, but the unforgivable oversight, if it is indeed an oversight, of including those lyrics is disgusting. And should be a fireable offence, immediately.

These people are like children.

Gonna appeal to the youff init

I doubt it. I expect they see it as embarrassing cringe material as much as anyone else would.

This is so bad that I suspect a deliberate comms ploy to distract from something.

I agree.

it looks to me like someone said let's use AI, to show we're down with it all.

Is there a link to where you found that?

Wow

The graphics are based on a current craze, "countries as animals", that has even turned up on my social media feed. I'm not on Tiktok and I'm decades away from being yoof.

The music is, according to the Metro, "Ritmos Colombianos Brazilian 2.0 (Speed Up), a 2023 song by F3RZXID and Dj Camaro". I haven't been able to find the lyrics in the original or translation so far.

Anyone else want to research it?

Crikey!

If that's the song the lyrics come up in Spotify. I took two lines from there and threw it into Google translate and got this.

It was on X - I said ‘apparently’ because I couldn’t find any source confirming them but neither any dismissing them as fake.

Just looking now. Song here:

A quick look at Auto-translate on subtitles suggest they are correct.

The Metro story https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2025/01/05/labour-release-bizarre-campaign-video-featuring-giant-ai-generated-animals-22298409/amp/
says "Metro has approached the Labour Party for comment". So presumably hasn't had a reply yet.

In the meantime, an email to Labour Party HQ, cc Jess Phillips, regarding the track and its lyrics, wouldn't go amiss.

I couldn't listen to that shit

All AI. The government is supposed to be looking at ways to protect artists and the creative industry from loss of work through AI, and they do this stunt! Despicable. Shows the contempt they have for workers in the creative industries, which make up a substantial part of GDP. Of a piece with removing Latin because it's middle class, along with criticising schools for widening children's horizons through museum and theatre visits. Glad I didn't vote for them!

"Just a punch in the young girl's pussy"

Is this part of their long-awaited campaign to reduce violence against women and girls?

Blimey!
That's dire. What the actual fuckety fuck?

As far as I can tell, there aren't any audible lyrics in the actual clip (a few incomprehensible garbles). The AI animals are pretty awful.
