Okay, it's a very cheesy song, as the guy who produced it says several times, lest you believe he doesn't know. The history of this video is explained here at Mashable, but the short version is that it was put together as part of a challenge put on by the BBC to create a charting UK single for charity by using the noisy, inventive, intermittently literate community of YouTube users.

I know that for many of you, this is like creating an award-winning dish based on Gummi bears and Fresca, but this is actually ... not horrible, if you think of it as a novelty number created for charity and intended only to be fun. I'll say it this way: it could have been so much worse.
