'No we shouldn't ban 'murder ballad' Delilah' says writer
The Welsh are known for their love of singing, especially at a rugby match, particularly if it's the big hit Delilah by fellow Welshman Tom Jones.
However, there have been calls for the song to be banned at sporting events because of its apparent reference to domestic violence.
Sylvan Whittingham Mason, who co-wrote the song, disagrees. She said the story has a moral message.
