Boris Johnson Is A Fucking Cunt

"Boris Johnson Is A Fucking Cunt" was originally released as a track on the album Kunts Punk In Your Face in July 2020.[1] On 10 December 2020, Kunt announced that he was releasing the track as a single, with the aim of making the track the 2020 Christmas number one single. He asked fans to buy and stream the song between 18-23 December 2020 in order to secure as high a chart position as possible.[2] In order to increase the chances of reaching the top spot, Kunt also released multiple versions of the track with the same title. 23 versions were made,[3] including a "Safe-For-Work Sausage Roll Remix", which changed the central lyric to: "Boris Johnson is a sausage roll", in reference to the YouTuber LadBaby, who had topped the Christmas singles chart for the past two years with charity singles that were songs reworded to mention sausage rolls, and who would ultimately top the 2020 chart with "Don't Stop Me Eatin'", a cover of "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey.[1]

In the Christmas midweek chart, the song reached 19th. On BBC Radio 1 show The Official Chart: First Look On Radio 1, presenters Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton neither named Kunt or the song, despite the safe-for-work version, instead saying: "Now at 19 we've got a track about Boris Johnson that has so many bad words in it we can't play it on daytime Radio 1."[1][4] The song however continued to grow, reaching No. 1 on the Amazon Music chart.[5] The song gained support from celebrities such as Charlie Brooker.[6]

The song ultimately reached number five in the UK Singles Chart.[7] It also reached number two in the UK Singles Downloads Chart,[8] number three in the UK Independent Singles Chart,[9] and number 90 in the Official Audio Streaming Chart.[10] The performance of the track was made even more notable for it not getting an radio airtime due to the language used.[11] In an interview with the British Comedy Guide in March 2021, Kunt said despite the success of the song his business with Johnson had not been concluded as he was still running the country.[12] All 23 versions of the song were later released as a single EP.[3]

On 26 November 2021, Kunt announced that he would once again campaign for the Christmas number one, releasing a follow-up to "Boris Johnson Is A Fucking Cunt", entitled "Boris Johnson Is Still A Fucking Cunt".[13] Again, the lyrics consisted of the title of the song being repeated. The song is performed to various tunes, including "Doctorin' the Tardis" by The Timelords, which in turn samples "Rock and Roll Part II" by Gary Glitter, and The Addams Family Theme.[14][15] On the day of the announcement a music video was released of the song, which depicts The Kunts as the characters from the film Ghostbusters hunting down Johnson. Kunt has asked people to start buying and streaming the song from 17 December 2021, in order to secure a high chart position.[13][14] The track will be released under a new label, Direct Action.[16]

Among the supporters of "Boris Johnson Is Still A Fucking Cunt" are Mark Beaumont, who argued in NME that while Ed Sheeran, Elton John and LadBaby's version of "Merry Christmas" should be praised for raising money for charity with their song, The Kunts were tackling the root cause of the Britain's problems by dealing with Johnson directly.[17]

The performers on the track were:[6]

• Kunt - vocals
• Carsehole - lead guitar
• Rubber Johnny - bass guitar
• Fucksticks - drums
