Pakistani pop star told to cut girl's name from song

"LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistan's Supreme Court has ordered a pop singer to change his lyrics after a college girl complained that male students teased her by singing the song when she passed by, a court official said on Tuesday.

The court summoned the singer, Abrar-ul-Haq, last week after a girl called Parveen wrote to a newspaper saying she had stopped attending college in the eastern city of Lahore because of the harassment.

"The court has asked Abrar-ul-Haq to omit the name of the girl and some other objectionable words in his lyrics," the court official said."

Wait-- she lives in LAHORE and they tease her for being named PARVEEN?

"La Whore" I'm certain!

It does point up a cultural difference- Tommy Tutone put a girls PHONE NUMBER in a song and got off scot-free. This guy has to rerecord because someone with the same name complained!

But if he changes the name, it's going to be someone ELSE'S name! Don't you see where this is leading, people?

I'm so suing that dude who keeps telling me to row the boat ashore. Hallelujah.

No one ever wrote a song for me.

Kipling wrote a book with my name as the title, but IT WAS ABOUT A BOY. I'm suing his estate, the insensitive bastard.
