Back in the 30's when it came out there was no problem. 5 years ago when the DJ played it without listening to it first, it cost him his job.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 10:43 amI don’t see a problem here.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 9:27 amI'm guessing, from the lack of comments, that nobody listened to ''the sun has got its hat on''.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-27360884A veteran BBC local radio DJ has lost his job after playing a song on his golden oldies show containing a racist word.
BBC Radio Devon DJ David Lowe, 68, said he was unaware that a 1932 version of The Sun Has Got His Hat On included the n-word.
Mr Lowe, a broadcaster for 32 years, said it was an "innocent mistake".
He said BBC bosses declined his idea of an on-air apology, and his offer to "fall on my sword" was accepted.
The BBC said it accepted that the situation could have been handled better, and offered freelance Mr Lowe his job back.
'Political correctness'
But the DJ said the incident had exacerbated a stress-related condition and he would not be returning to the corporation.
The second verse of the song, recorded by the UK dance band Ambrose and his Orchestra, features the line: "He's been tanning [n-word] out in Timbuktu, now he's coming back to do the same to you." Later versions of the song omit the offensive word.
The BBC took action after a listener heard the song - part of Mr Lowe's private record collection, broadcast on his self-produced Sunday night programme - and complained.
