Abandon hope all ye who enter The Comic Relief Singles Poll

'who do you think you are?' is actually ok in an aerobics-lite kind of way, which puts it miles ahead of the rest of this horror

Where is "Just Can't Get Enough" by the Saturdays a.k.a. Next Week's Number One band?

yeah serious

That was only TBC, so I left that out

also wow at national treasure Jennifer Saunders x2

I take it it has been C then? (xp)

"(I Want to Be) Elected" - Smear Campaign (Bruce Dickinson, Rowan Atkinson, Angus Deayton)

^ thankfully have no idea what this sounds like

Got to vote for 'Amarillo' as it's a song I loved for years before Peter Kay got his chubby fingers on it. It's no 'Avenues and Alleyways' though.

If you actually take these songs devoid of context, it has to be "Amarillo". In context, however, "Amarillo" is probably the worst.

Dickinson doesn't do too badly, but the humour of the original Coop version is removed and replaced with Atkinson pissing around.

Voted for "500 Miles."

"Stick It Out" is the worst record made by anyone ever.

Voted for AbFab/PSB, probably the song that works best out of the context of Comic Relief.

Spice Girls easily

The "normal records that happen to have royalties donated" should be disqualified for being miles better than funny songs.

"R Around Xmas tree" is still what it was, a vaguely amusing Xmas record.

Generally though, I'm submitting a Suggest Chart Ban for charity singles per se.

Someone should release 4'33" as a charity single...

i was going to vote for spitting images chicken song then realised its not a comic relief single. consider this a spoiled ballot.

"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" - The Proclaimers & Brian Potter & Andy Pipkin (No. 1 , March 2007)

Finally heard this, for the first time properly, yesterday...

Not exactly a radical reimagining, is it.

No, but the vid was all "lets invite loads of vaguely famous people" Jimmy Krankie, Bill Oddie, Basil Brush, Frank Sidebottom, etc, so people can play "ooh look, there's..."

Anyroad, voted "Walk this way" purely for being this side of the "teamup created for CR" as opposed to "normal single that has royalties donated", and for being quite good.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Living Doll was the first record I ever bought (the 12" with the Disco Funk Get Up Get Down Go To The Lavatory mix, natch)

I had not seen The Young Ones at this tender age

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Living Doll was also the first record I bought, at Woolworths along with Movie hits 2, mainly for the Ghostbusters & Back to the Future themes.

..

These were all incredibly unfunny.
