Radio 1 have landed themselves in hot water with Ofcom after accidentally playing a live Foo Fighters track at 7.55am with the word 'fuck' in it twice.
The station has been officially censured by media watchdog Ofcom after Nick Grimshaw accidentally played the recording on his BBC Radio 1 breakfast show. The recording was originally broadcast the previous night when the band were in session at Maida Vale with Zane Lowe.
As NME reports, lyrics to 'Something From Nothing' include the line, 'You can't make me change my name, never make me change my name, pay no mind, now ain't that something. Fuck it all! I came from nothing.'
Within ten minutes of the track being played, Grimshaw told listeners, "We must apologise for the swear words that went out in that Foo Fighters live track, so apologies if any offence was taken during that."
Despite the apology, Ofcom have found the station to be in breach of Rule 1.14 of its brodcasting code which bans offensive language from being broadcast when children are likely to be listening.
