I was going to shit on this but it's for a foodbank charity so I guess well done to them.

[PsychedelicLiz]

It's actually an improvement over the original.

[F.X Clampazzo]

They missed a pretty prime opportunity to pick up exclusive rights to play it in their stores imo.

[DrBones]

Never trust the UK to have good taste in top singles. One of their repeated chart-toppers was a Spitting Image song explicitly meant to lampoon obnoxious chart-topping singles.

Damn technology can make anyone sound like a star. This is better than the original

That's a pretty low bar

I kinda like "We Built This City on Rock and Roll"

The stress of school shootings causes the average 12 year old look 25

[Euskalduna]

The only good Christmas #1 in recent memory was "Killing in the Name". We need to have another go at something of that nature.

[Toxicooww]

I was blown away than that song was in a top ten worst song of all time.

[Jeff the Hobo]

This is the best "We build this city" parody.

[megafat]

I rarely listen to it and i do understand why someone would hate it, but it's not "one of the worst songs of all time".

[sir whoopsalot]

I understand why people might dislike it but people who put it on 'worst songs ever' lists really need to listen to more music.

[GHOST!!!!]

If I start hearing this on the radio on Christmas I'm gonna have to turn the radio either off, down or over to another station though, I ain't tolerating this, charity song or not.

[Anteep]

at least it's not a Justin Boober song

[Jessica Cannon]

Honestly good on them. Considering how much of a clanging 'safe radio' song the original is I'm glad they made a cover for a charitable purpose. I like the original City but only because I like a lot of really clanging eighties and nineties radio hits, it's a guilty pleasure.

Starship was honestly the worst.

[PsychedelicLiz]

Grace Slick is an amazing singer, but it's definitely in the top 100. I just can't imagine the people doing White Rabbit doing that song.

[Jessica Cannon]

It's a song co-authored by cocaine.
