People have some very odd ideas

[andrewducker]

For instance, Russell Watson (Operatic Tenor) decided that covering Barcelona (by Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe) was a good idea. And then decided that an even better idea would be to cover it with Shaun "Off my face on drugs since 1981" Ryder (of the Happy Mondays and Black Grape).

I've just finished listening to it, and if you have Spotify you can do likewise, here.

Yes, I know, I'm 9 years late. But still. What?

Yes but Russell Watson is shit. So it's to be expected he'll do stupid things.
And when did you morph into a middle-aged chomper of custard creams?

Custard Creams? What?

Russell Watson. Only listened to by old middle-aged dears who, when his name is mentioned, trot out like Pavlovian dogs, 'Oh yes, The Voice' with audible capitals. As if no other singer had one.

Aaah - I started off with Shaun Ryder and found it through that...
