In order to understand this song title, you need to know a few things.

A nonce is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as “a person who commits a crime involving sex, especially sex with a child”.

I think that Prince Andrew’s out-of-court settlement with Virginia Roberts Giuffre speaks for itself.

As for the sweating bit, it dates back to his disastrous interview with the BBC’s Emily Maitlis, where he claimed he couldn’t sweat as part of his defence against the accusations levelled by Giuffre.

It wasn’t long before that image above came to light, as well as others showing the Duke sweating.

Enter ‘Prince Andrew Is A Sweaty Nonce’ by The Kunts, a comedy rock group, released to coincide with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations starting today.

Via The Independent, a sample of the lyrics:

On “Prince Andrew is a Sweaty N****”, The Kunts sing: “The grand old Duke of York, he said he didn’t sweat. So why did he pay 12 million quid to a girl he’d never met?”

There’s also this gem – “Pizza Express in Woking? Mate, you gotta be joking” – and if you know, you know.

Pay attention and you’ll hear plenty of references to some of the Duke’s more outlandish claims.

The song is now just outside the top 10 in the UK’s Official Trending Chart, and in the top 10 on iTunes.

It’s in at number 12, sandwiched between ‘True Love’ by Kanye (featuring XXXTentacion) and ‘Balling’ by Vibe Chemistry (featuring Songer, Traumatik, Devilman, and Oneda).

There’s a good chance it will climb higher up the charts by the end of the week. The Kunts are hopeful it will surpass their 2020 hit, ‘Boris Johnson Is A F***ing C***’, which reached number five.

At the time the song was released, The Kunts, who say they were first inspired by The Sex Pistols’ 1977 classic ‘God Save the Queen’, said:

“The timing this year felt perfect, given Prince Andrew’s bizarre, shameful, and cowardly behaviour as he attempted to dodge any sort of accountability for the alleged sexual assault on Virginia Giuffre, followed by the attempt to sweep it all under the carpet with an out of court settlement.”

…“A Jubilee celebration has always felt like it could be a good chance to air any grievances one may have with our unelected head of state and her feckless offspring.”

The Queen has been criticised ahead of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for trying to salvage Prince Andrew’s reputation.

Oh well, at least he didn’t move to Los Angeles and accuse the Royal Family of racism. That would be a step too far.
