I did hear that, I was a bit  too. 

   it was all kinds of awful!   "That's brilliant!"  shouts Chris.... "You lying b****d", shouts me at the radio....

It wasn't her best, although I have heard her better. T'was much more pleasant than Downton but.

Seriously... gives a link then.    I've heard school concerts better.

Oh my.  I just googled and found this.

I thought it was bad enough they'd put a Downton Christmas Album out, and then I heard The Cow Song.

Thank you Cinds, it's good to start the day with a belly laugh "I pick up a stone and put it in my pocket, all those eyelashes around those eye sockets" Why I think it's even better than "I don't want to see a ghost, I'd sooner eat a piece of toast"!!

BIB Those lyrics were actually used by Des'ree in Life. 

I wonder if they had to pay royalties to use the line. 

Was it two years ago? I can't remember. But whenever it was Sadie and the hotheads began to get publicity. It's not my scene but they didn't sound all that bad.

....... And nothing like as bad as this Stevie Wonder sheight. Just switched off again!

Did they use it in this too?  I was haunted by that awful Des'ree song at the time and that's why I remember that lyric all too clearly

Sorry, I thought you were saying it was in The Cow song too.  I didn't listen all the way through, it was too much.

I stopped too, right after eye sockets

Apart from the lyrics I've heard much worse.

I can't wait to get home and listen to them....   this morning she "sang"  Little Drummer Boy - she was spectacularly bad, her voice was awful.   I think the fact that the band have been going since they were teenagers and they're only now being talked about speaks volumes about their talent v's the popularity of Downton.

That's a weird vid.

What sort of accent has she got?

aye sackets you mean?

That's the one!

I'm listening to/watching the vid now... now this morning makes sense, it's a piss take of a band, isn't it?

Everyone deserves a chance to hear this.... 2 hrs 3 mins 30 secs in...

Hahahahaha Kaffy, why, why did you make me listen again. 

I reckon some some of my sing snaps were better.

Revenge for the cow song!     

Did you spoil yourself by fast forwarding to 2 hrs 22 mins for a blast of 'It came upon a midnight clear' too?     I didn't hear anything after 9 a.m. - i'm almost tempted to listen to the last half hour in case I missed a hidden gem....

What the holy hell ear shattering carnage was THAT..?    

I lasted 15 secs.

Maybe I'll not bother listening then 

I wonder who will be guesting in the morning?

Normally Friday's only, but it seems like one a day this week. I wish they would bring back the Glaswegian Buddhist.

Sam Smith tomorrow.   You've got me on the Glaswegian Buddhist..?

One of the original thought for the day merchants.

You've got me on Sam Smith but.

I've only recently got back into listening to R2 in the mornings since I got a new digital radio     I'm even warming to Feltzy - I think I might need therapy.

Oh he's the new big thing... tipped for the next James Bond theme no less

That's not him in the video btw..

oh hang on.. he is now.   He's the one with the mic....

Now you know why they never have musical soirees at Downton.

"Ear shattering carnage!"

See!? This has been another example of what we used to call, "New Headmaster syndrome!" Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, along comes a new level of badness.

That was awful, particularly the last half hour. The Smith gadjie was too piercing, man. We could have done without the soporific Chet song, the guests were not of any interest, and the thought for the day was a thinly disguised advert for that Miranda one.
