Should Pumped Up Kicks be pulled from radio playlists?


Several radio stations across the country have pulled Pumped Up Kicks from their playlists following the Sandy Hook school shootings.  Foster the People’s front man Mark Foster wrote the song which he has said was somewhat inspired by the Columbine murders.  The catchy songs features a chorus urging, “All the other kids with the pumped up kicks/You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”

Do you think songs that promote violence should be pulled off the radio in light of the tragedy?
