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.

Oh, the Humanity!!!...thank goodness the PC police are out there censoring these racist, hateful song lyrics.
Elizabeth Warren only understood 1/32 of the words anyway.
Elizabeth Warren couldn’t be reached for comment.
Might as well ban that Popeye cartoon,
“Me Big Chief Ugg-a-Wugg-Wugg gotta have a squaw!!”
Oh we are saved from the embarassment of having to admit that Peter Pan is racist!
Lets redefine history!
There are dumb white folk and dumb indians. And they both talk the same language of dumbness: political correctness.
Wonder how many “native americans” are actually in the production. Also, wonder how many “native americans” were actually offended. What? Four?
That, sir, truly did make me laugh aloud. For you, a respectful tug on m’ forelock.
Your fore what?
Forelock, ya poivoit!
Thanks for clearing that up...:-)
I’m a native American and I wasn’t offended.
Deemed by whom? I by doubt any "Native Americans". More likely that white, crusading, self-hating, self-righteous, self-appointed liberal komissars deemed it so.
Well not surprising. We live in a politically correct liberal world.now.
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. Isn’t that offensive to men???
It is odd. Even in the 1924 film version, Betty Bronson played Peter Pan. She was good, though.
Neither could her redskin relatives.
+1
I’m offended that they are offended. Where do I pick up my reparations?
Now I really can’t wait to not watch this garbage production. Yawn and double yawn.
