Unfortunately, it reminded me of many of the things I don’t like about racing – Thommo, McCririck, all that country tweed, the flag waving and the general lack of taste – as well as some of the things that I do like.
Still, it’s all for charidee, so I wish it well…
I think it’s alright – a good effort all round – anyone that finds fault with it has be a right miserable git…

Great effort, unfortunatly you’ll always get a few people who go against the grain for attention.
If that refers to me Mr Wilson, perhaps you would have the balls to say so explicitly.
While doing work like this for charity is indeed a "great effort", if you think that the massacring of a perfectly decent song by a bunch of people who include some hideous self-publicists, set against a video that is at times toe-curling is a great effort also then I suggest it is you who is seeking attention.
All in my opinion, of course.
Who’s up for doing a Rage Against the Machine against this mob? Surely the song ‘Kempton’ has legs.
When you’re alone
Deserted grandstands making you lonely,
You’ve gone to Kempton
When you’ve got bandit races,
All the psychics and faces
Seems to help, I know, at Kempton
Just listen to the music of the LSO’s ditty
Linger by the three tramps where the neon odds ain’t pretty
How can THEY lose?
Bookies’ profits are much brighter there
You can throw out the form book, forget about four places and go
to Kempton……Well it’s awful isn’t it? But, all for a good cause.
At least that was my opinion a week ago. After hearing a collection of actual professional singers butchering ‘Everybody Hurts’ for the Haiti fund, I think ‘Cheltenham’ is perfectly passable. It’s a good laugh & a credit to all the people who turned up to do a turn.
I suppose this statement might belong in the Lounge but I’ve changed my mind about Jeremy Kyle. I thought he was a full on (expletive deleted) but now I’m not so sure.
After all, I’ve seen the Jerry Springer show many times & he’s actually an alright guy.

I’ll second that!

I don’t mind going against the grain and it isn’t for attention. If they wanted to make a donation to charity, why don’t the greedy supremos at Cheltenham racecourse donate a pound of each over-priced ticket for the Festival. There’s 200k to be getting on with – surely more than this ghastly depiction of racing will raise.
These charity single jobbies are notoriously difficult to pull off and I’m afraid this one fails as miserably as most.
Good cause though and admirable intention from all.
