What, with the chorus?

Or the bit that goes "Dum diddle umm diddle um diddle um bah bahh" ?

― Mark G, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 13:50 (eighteen years ago)

It's that "Amarillo" song, except for the year 2007, and with all the mirth and hilarity that implies.

Frank Sidebottom.

Actually, isn't this an addition to "wielding power within the format of Comic Relief"?

Catherine Tate gets Tony Blair to do her comedy catchphrase
Ricky Gervaise gets Geldof/Bono/etc do pretend they're all fakes
Peter Kay gets all the names on his blotter to jump in and dance around this time...

I have already vouchsafed my opinion with regard to this enterprise with admirable succinctness on the HMV thread.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)

But you still bought one, right?

― Mark G, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)

But that is a rather long thread, so I shall sum it up in a different way: nuclear holocaust in 30 seconds.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)

Does it get a 29 second amnesty for having Robert Powell in the video then?

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:01 (eighteen years ago)

This and Scooch = Blair's Legacy

― Tom D., Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:02 (eighteen years ago)

The video gives me the creeps.

However, the title of Worst Comic Relief Record Ever remains securely in the hands of Right Said Fred "and Friends" with their 1993 offering "Stick It Out."

now i'd go with that any old day of the week, were it not for the existence of
The Smile Song by Victoria Wood.

There is of course "The Stonk" whose line "to the rhythm of the honky tonk" makes me wish for nuclear holocaust around the time of Cromwell.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:19 (eighteen years ago)

.. ah but I remember when RSF 'came back' with their single "Bumped"...

In mid song, Richard Fairbrass yelled out "BETTER THAN STICK IT OUT, INNIT?"

A whole audience coughed and looked away...

― Mark G, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:22 (eighteen years ago)

Quite, but at least it didn't have Jools Holland's bastard boogie woogie piano magic all over it like an ill-lit Lambeth Council skip.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:25 (eighteen years ago)

The Stonk RULED.

― Frogman Henry, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:27 (eighteen years ago)

Like Mugabe.

"Honky tonky, nose on your conky", in its immortal words.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this thread has won the ILM Most Predictable Thread...Ever! Award!

Unfortunately, Marcello Carlin couldn't be with us tonight due to his commitments in the North Korea Five-Party Nuclear Talks, so here's Dom Passantino ranting about Eddie Argos and Pitchfork...

― King Boy Pato, Friday, 23 March 2007 02:05 (eighteen years ago)

Number bloody one.

The dogs have gone to the world.

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 26 March 2007 09:20 (eighteen years ago)

It gets to be played at Poptimism now, huh?

― Tom D., Monday, 26 March 2007 09:22 (eighteen years ago)

I'll leave that gruesome task to others.

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 26 March 2007 09:25 (eighteen years ago)

I head a snippet.

It's not very good, is is?

I understand the Proc's version being in the chart 'as well'...

Also, the proclaimers are now popping up on all sorts of 'chatty' progs....

― Mark G, Monday, 26 March 2007 09:33 (eighteen years ago)

Now is someone going to explain the alleged Siouxsie & the Banshees takeover of the charts? They were always mentioned in tandem with the Procs in this download deal.

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 26 March 2007 10:11 (eighteen years ago)

when will ppl learn? There are no good charity singles ever. Only good charity albums. Ruby Trax, for example.

― Grandpont Genie, Monday, 26 March 2007 10:31 (eighteen years ago)

But do you have any examples of good charity albums?

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 26 March 2007 10:34 (eighteen years ago)

be right with you..

― Mark G, Monday, 26 March 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

Have you heard about Dundee Rep's forthcoming Proclaimers musical?

Still no Jesus and Mary Chain musical at the Citizens then...

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 26 March 2007 11:47 (eighteen years ago)
