Mums of pupils at a West Dulwich primary school were left furious after teachers accidentally played a song about suicide to 11-year-olds.

Teachers at Rosendale Primary School played the song, called 'The Muffin Song', was played to Key Stage 2 pupils last Tuesday (October 22).

The children in the group who line up quickly in the morning get to chose a song that is played to the school at lunchtime.

One of the pupils picked the song and it was played in both playgrounds.

The song involves a muffin singing about how much it wants to die.

Lyrics include: "Even though letting go feels right, I can't afford to say goodbye, you and I are bound together", and, "Hey, somebody kill me, Please, it's muffin time.... I wanna die, die, die".

In one comment a YouTube user described the song as 'the most positive suicide song I've ever heard'.

A spokesperson from the school told MyLondon: "Children are allowed to choose a song and one of the children chose 'The Muffin Song'.

"A parent complained so it’s not something that will ever be played again. It was not parental advisory or explicit, if it was it wouldn’t have been played.

"Its something children have listened to at home, that is how they knew to request it."

In response the school have said they will tighten up the screening process.

One mother described it on social media as 'appalling'.

She said: "Schools should not be playing things like this. Absolutely disgusting!

"The impact this has on a child’s thought process at such a young age is terrible."

Another mother said: "Nobody of any age should be subjected to this! Let alone children of primary school age.

"It barely makes sense and the content that might make some sense is negative and destructive".
