I cant bear this, even the first few beats.
stop it at once

is it for charity btw?

It's rubbish, and stealth self-congratulatory advertising for the BBC.

I usually like collaboration charity songs. I even liked the X Factor ones, but this one is smug dreariness.

I do know of one charity that is funded by CIN, but they've had to massively cut the number of families they support this year. Not sure if that's because of a funding cut or something else though.

It is for CiN as well as publicity thing - although they've probably spent millions of licence payers' money on the video, must write to Daily Mail etc.

The mix of different people really doesn't work does it?

It could be worse - Macca could have been in it!

Love the original, not so keen on this one.

Children in Need give a grant to the sn preschool that ds used to attend and I know of 2 other local charities that receive grants.

Wheres Peter Kay when you need him?

BBs my all time fave group and GOK WAS one of my faves.

all these billionare hasbeens and publicity seeking promoting their own stuff telling US, the poorer lot to put our hands in our pockets.

It's shite. And so is the Joss Stone version of the Green Fields of France.

it's a bad month for charity singles.

I've never actually known of any group, anywhere, which has received money from CiN or Comic Relief.

I know lots that have received Lottery money, though.

Haven't heard it, but I LOVE the original Beach Boys version. AND I love Cecilia. In fact I love Simon and Garfunkel full stop.

I've always thought Children in Need had a whiff of dodginess about it.

Perfect Day was shit and made a great song mediocre. This is the same. I hate it when they do this. So full of egotistical self congratulation by wanker slebs.
