Coldplay Lyrics Take a Swipe at Bill O’Reilly
By Brian Stelter
Coldplay’s new album comes out today, and one of the songs on it was inspired by an unusual source: Bill O’Reilly, the Fox News Channel host. Not surprisingly — given the source — the tune isn’t exactly an endorsement of the conservative commentator.
It is, however, the first single on the new album, “Viva La Vida,” and thus will soon be in heavy radio rotation. Some of the lyrics go like this: “When the future’s architectured by a carnival of idiots on show, you’d better lie low.” (The gist of the song, however, is love, not punditry; singer urges his beloved, “If you love me, won’t you let me know?”)

Is there any band more pretentious than Cold Play?
Maybe U2… but at least they’ve been around for a while. Cold Play on the other hand… come on, get some long term credibility, then become pricks.

To quote one of my all-time favorite movies, 40 Year Old Virgin, “You know how I know you’re gay? Because you listen to Cold Play.”

Probably not. Coldplay and O’Reilly have a lot in common.
