New Great British Bake Off host Noel Fielding shocks with explicit songs about cocaine and erections
THE new host of The Great British Bake Off Noel Fielding sings about cocaine and erections in sordid lyrics revealed by The Sun.
The hellraiser's X-rated lyrics in a cult band he fronts with Kasabian rocker Serge Pizzorno will leave a bad taste with many of the show's audience.
Programme makers Love Productions already fear Channel 4's appointment of the 43-year-old former drug user will risk its popularity among kids and grandparents. Comedian Noel's lyrics, with his band Loose Tapestries, are full of sex, drugs and four-letter words.
In one song, Live For The Night (Cocaine City), lyrics include: "Do you think you can send down a couple of jungle c**ks and one of those skinny white Thai c**ks?" It continues: "I was in the cloakroom it's dark and smells of sick, and if you want your coat back, well you can suck my d***."
To a Bee Gees-like disco rhythm Noel and Serge sing about getting "higher and higher", while the crude phrase "c**ks in all directions, from flaccid to erections" is repeated.
The tune concludes with a phone call comparing male ejaculation to the famous drip paintings of American artist Jackson Pollock.

The voiceover says: “Hi Gloria, could you send in both cleaning teams please? The neon dancefloor looks like a Jackson Pollock. Thank you, soon as possible. Literally paddling in semen down here.”
The tune is from Loose Tapestries' album NHS and includes some songs from Noel's Luxury Comedy series on E4.
Noel and Serge, 37, first met at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2007 and bonded over the Kasabian guitarist's love of Noel's "trippy" Mighty Boosh TV series, which he admitted the band would watch on tour while getting "mangled with weed".
Noel previously admitted he turned to coke when the pressure of fame got too much for him, and had also dabbled in MDMA, Ketamine, acid, magic mushrooms.
As the music emerged, the new Great British Bake Off host embraced his role and sampled sweet treats at a bakery in Highgate, North London.
And as usual there was nothing subtle about the quirky TV presenter's outfit - once again sporting a loud red and orange check jacket and leggings as he posed with fans.
The Sun told last week how his casting had caused a war between GBBO bosses over his risk to the show’s popularity among children and grandparents.
Noel and Sandi, 58, have been hired alongside foodie legend Prue Leith, 77, who replaces Mary Berry, 81.
Paul Hollywood, 51, is the only member of the BBC team who went to Channel 4.
