I know that pretty much EVERYONE on here will hate it (I know I do) but this bunch of OAPs with a combined age of over 3000 have become quite the cult recently.

 

It's a cover of the classic Who song and is released tomorrow. They performed on The Graham Norton Show last week, they have a whole 1 hour program on BBC2 dedicated to them on Monday night and the video has managed to get 2 million views on youtube in just a month.

 

 

I do hope this flops on its arse but I can't see it :manson:

i hope the original is re-released... its an all time teen anthem classic.

With Umbrella still doing good business on downloads and the physical release being the same day, I think your fears can be safely allayed. Actually, the download of this travesty was released last week, and I didn't see it troubling the top 100 midweek chart and the song has already had plenty of publicity. Hype can only get you so far, we do have ears you know. In fact, if you're so disinterested in it, why even bother raising the issue? You're only giving it far more attention than it deserves..

Good god, if this goes to #1 I top myself

The "leadsinger" has only 3 teeth! :rofl:

Down with OAPs I say. :manson:

OH MY. :drama:

The "leadsinger" has only 3 teeth! :rofl:

 

 

so does Shane McGowan from the Pogues :lol:

Why should people be banned from the charts just because of their age. If enough people buy it then it should chart. Even though I don't like it.

 

Ageism is just as bad as racism.

 

I do hope they re-release the original by The Who. It's the original Mod classic anthem.

For anyone to young to have heard the original, you can listen to it HERE

 

They have as much right to be in the charts as rubbish such as the stupid Crazy Frog, Bob The Builder, Teletubbies etc in the charts.

At least these are real people.

Love it

and i hope it does well :D

it will make a nice change

something really different in the charts

I really don't see how you can 'hate' it...

 

Its not trying to be the latest pop song with talented singers.

 

Its great to see something actually different...

Ageism is just as bad as racism.

Tbh its not lol.

Update on this from Geriatric1927 here

I havent even HEARD it.

Not a chance in hell I hope

With the amount of TV exposure Top40 looks likely if the physical is going to be sold somewhere.

Meh! Rihanna will easily be number one

yea, hope this goes top 40, would absolutely wet myself on sunday, good on them!!!!

As I said in the midweek predictions, I hope The Who's version charts higher :D

Out on physicals in Woolworth's so a chance for Top40 on Sunday.
