Viewers ‘dead’ as they point out hilariously odd detail from The 1975’s Glastonbury headliner set

Even with the pressure of headlining Glastonbury on their shoulders, The 1975 couldn't resist slipping some humour into their highly anticipated set.

The Brit Award-winning band have been belting out some of their most successful tunes on the Pyramid Stage this evening (27 June), including one which some people deem hard to understand.

The lyrics to 'Chocolate' which Matty Healy sings are somewhat difficult to decipher - so the band decided to do fans a solid and share them on the big screens surrounding them.

However, it wasn't exactly word for word, as it appears The 1975 decided to lean in to the complaints about how hard the 2013 track is to singalong to.

They projected what was effectively gibberish behind them on stage, and the the tongue-in-cheek lyrics they went for instead have prompted quite a lot of laughter online.

For example, in the outro of 'Chocolate', Healy sings: "Well, I think we better go. Seriously better go, said the feds are here, you know, seriously better go.

"Well, I think we better go. Said the feds are here, you know. Said Rebecca better know, seriously better go..."

But as people across the world seemingly struggle to hear Healy enunciate these words, a lot of listeners have no idea that's what he's actually saying.

So, The 1975 projected the mumbles behind them instead - such as: "Unwhee saydawee. Go. Anoobodynohoooo?"

Viewers watching from home seem to have found the move hilarious, as a quick scan of social media will tell you.

One person said: "The f**k ass lyrics for chocolate on the screen IM DEADDD."

Another laughed: "The lyrics for Chocolate, they think they’re so funny."

A third added: "The lyrics for chocolate being gibberish LMAO."

A fourth wrote: "THE LYRICS FOR CHOCOLATE AT 1975 GLASTO SET HAHAHAH."

And a fifth chimed in saying: "The lyrics to 'Chocolate' by The 1975 got new lyrics during their Glastonbury performance, lol, fair enough!"

To be fair, Healy's accent combined with the heavy use of slang and metaphors in 'Chocolate' does probably make it difficult for some people to understand the song.

The 1975's headline set has gone down a treat with fans so far - however, there have been some complaints from people encountering issues while watching the coverage of it.

A lot of people tuning in from home took to X to share their frustrations that they didn't get to see the band's opening unfold in real-time, while others moaned that BBC iPlayer was crashing continuously.
