NBC will broadcast a live production of 'Peter Pan' starring Allison Williams as Peter Pan and Christopher Walken as Captain Hook on December 4
Some of the songs have been changed - including 'Ugg-a-Wugg', which is performed by Peter Pan and Tiger Lily
It previously featured made-up 'Native American-sounding' words that have now been replaced with nursery rhymes
NBC has changed the lyrics of the song 'Ugg-a-Wugg' for its live show of Peter Pan after the words were deemed to be offensive to Native Americans.
The original number, performed by Peter Pan and Tiger Lily, featured lines including 'the brave noble red skin' and made-up words including 'ugg-a-wugg' and 'gugg-a-bluck wa-hoo'.
In its place, the team behind the show, which stars Allison Williams as Peter Pan and Christopher Walken as Hook, have devised a song called 'True Blood Brothers'.
The lyrics, which are performed by a group in Native American costumes, were changed after it was deemed that they encourage stereotypes.

As well as a tranny. Why is Peter almost always played by a woman?
Might as well ban that Popeye cartoon,
Me Big Chief Ugg-a-Wugg-Wugg gotta have a squaw!!
I like that one! When Popeye knocks out the Chief he becomes Ghandi! A double racist bonus!
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Can someone ban this poem? It might be offensive to white people with it's made-up nonsense words.
I know! Change it to “Ooga-Chaka! Ooga Ooga!”
Who plays Wendy? And will she tell us a story?
deep inside of me...
Pirate costunes dont encourage a certain stereotype?
Flying Fairies?
they could simply eliminate all the characters and start form scratch...
Why is Peter almost always played by a woman?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Because he was preparing the way for our tranny, gurly man president.
I think the Borogoves are about to file a lawsuit. They’re tired of being stereotyped as mimsy all the time.
"What about Tinker Bell?"
I want be watching this travesty of PC to the Nth degree.
What not just Colorize the old Mary Martin version and show it?
But, why is Peter Pan always played by a woman??? Peter Pan is supposed to be a male. Yet a female always plays that partm. Isnt that offensive to men???
I always wondered about Peter Pan’s boy/girl thing. Scared me as a kid!
Ridiculous.
Many if not all productions of Annie Get Your Gun don’t have the I’m an Indian Too number these days...not PC
It is here, though, in a hilarious video spoofing
Warren’s claims...

...and I think that has scenes from the Peter Pan film...
Anyway, Wiki on Peter Pan:
>>Several productions of Peter Pan were staged early in the 20th century, starting on Broadway in 1905 with a production starring Maude Adams. In a nod to the original play, and the pantomime tradition it derives from, the title role of Peter Pan in the musical is usually played by a woman, including Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan and Cathy Rigby, among others
WHY IS PETER PAN USUALLY PLAYED BY A WOMAN?
>>Frohman reasoned that a man would be wrong for the part, and if they cast a boy, the other children would have to be scaled down in proportion. English law prohibited the use of minors under 14 on stage after 9 p.m. So a woman it was.
These type of PC situations have happened for awhile. Charlie Drake’s novelty song “My Boomerang Won’t Come Back” had a line: “I practiced till I was black in the face”.
It had to be changed to “blue” (early 60s)
And I have said this here and on various other places on the Web, but I gotta say it again:
Native American? Why, I’m a Native American and I’m
not offended.
I was born in the United States of America. Therefore I am a Native American. So are millions of other people.
It’s a misleading term. “Indian-American” (and I don’t mean India like New Delhi) is closer to what they mean.
I think in Canada they use “First Nations”. I’m also a person of color—beige.
Christopher Walken as Captain Hook? That’s gotta be hilarious!
MORE COWBELL!!!!
These are the same type of dolts who want to outlaw Little Black Sambo as being racist. They don’t even bother to understand the story or the context they just jump to conclusions......not unlike lemmings
