<\/p>\nA song performed by Holly Valance and released by One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has climbed to the top of the Australian Apple Music iTunes chart.<\/p>\n
Released on January 26th, the song, titled \u201cKiss Kiss (XX) My Arse\u201d, is a revamped version of the former\u00a0Neighbours star\u2019s early-2000s hit \u201cKiss Kiss\u201d. The reimagined version, performed and co-written by Valance, leans into what Hanson described as \u201cwoke culture\u201d, with contentious lyrics aimed at gender identity debates and progressive politics.<\/p>\n
Within hours of its release, the song surged up the iTunes best-seller lists (which measures paid downloads rather than streaming), outpacing recent hits from mainstream artists including the triple j Hottest 100-winning \u201cMan I Need\u201d by Olivia Dean.<\/p>\n
It has not yet appeared on more popular charts like the daily updated Apple Music Australian Top 100 or the Spotify Australian Top 50.<\/p>\n
The associated music video features exaggerated imagery and lyrics that explicitly target transgender people and \u201csnowflake\u201d culture. Lyrics have started receiving backlash online, particularly criticism from LGBTQIA+ advocates and cultural commentators.<\/p>\n
The song was released to promote Hanson\u2019s self-promotional film A Super Progressive Movie.\u00a0The animated movie follows four \u201cprogressives\u201d who are forced to travel beyond the \u201cNaarm bubble\u201d and are then catapulted into the real world \u2013 which in the movie is led by a prime minister Pauline Hanson \u2013 to search for \u201ctheir ideology\u2019s most powerful weapon: the Victimhood\u201d.<\/p>\n
It leans on a series of stereotypes of LGBTQIA+ people, shows Hanson in sunglasses in a helicopter, and at one point appears to depict Ulu\u1e5fu being blown up.<\/p>\n

This comes only days after several artists have distanced themselves from One Nation, including Hoodoo Gurus<\/a> and Men at Work\u2019s Colin Hay<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a post shared on social media, Hoodoo Gurus said they were \u201cdisgusted\u201d to learn one of their songs had been played by One Nation during an Australia Day rally, describing the group as \u201cwannabe fascists.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLike most Australians, we have always been appalled by Pauline Hanson and the toxic nonsense she spouts,\u201d they wrote.\u00a0\u201cWe want nothing to do with you. In fact, we wouldn\u2019t piss on you if you were on fire.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, Hay shared his disapproval of his band\u2019s song \u2013 \u201cDown Under\u201d \u2013 being used by Australian anti-immigration protesters, particularly in the lead up to January 26th.<\/p>\n \u201cLet me say that I most strenuously disapprove of any unauthorised, unlicensed use of \u2018Down Under\u2019, for any \u2018March for Australia\u2019 events,\u201d Hay wrote. \u201c\u2018Down Under\u2019, a song I co-wrote, does not belong to those who attempt to sow xenophobia within the fabric of our great land, our great people. \u2018Down Under\u2019 is ultimately a song of celebration. It\u2019s for pluralism and inclusion; unity, not division.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A song performed by Holly Valance and released by One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has climbed to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255016,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,147393,147394,157,111,139,69,147395,147396,147397,147398],"class_list":["post-255015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-holly-valance","tag-holly-valance-song","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-one-nation","tag-pauline-hanson","tag-pauline-hanson-movie","tag-pauline-hanson-song"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
