Ukip Calypso

[sp1814]

Do you think this is a witty little ditty?

Me...I could only get about 50 seconds into it before I had to stop the YouTube link, because I was cringing so badly that a couple of my toes actually turned inside out.

Great satire...or supreme embarrassment (or somewhere in between)?

Your mate has already 'done' this.

The reason he became a DJ was because he couldn't make it as a musician.
Embarrassing!

Ah nuts!

Thank you Svejk

AB Editor - please delete this thread.

[sp1814]

And thank you to Baldric. No idea how I missed AOG's post...

[FrogNog]

I think I prefer this thread to the other.
I died of shame on his behalf.

It is obviously a heap of ***.

Don't think it will do UKIP any good, and will probably lose them lots of votes.

It is not racist, but it is inaccurate, pisspoor, ignorant, and sung by a complete has-been wally.

How dare you take your eyes off the ball, and here was I thinking you hung on to my every word. :0)

If David Lammy doesn't like it, it must be good.

[Orderlimit]

if Labours David Lammy says its racism, then you know it isn't.

According to the bookies, it's destined for no 1.

Personally I would much rather listen to that than, "We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying High".

[anotheoldgit]

If it is upsetting some people then it is doing it's job, so just to upset them further here are the lyrics for those who are that upset they have most likely never heard them.

Taxpayers’ money where does it go? Not even George Osborne knows, when we're in power and we engage, there will be no tax on the minimum wage.

Leaders committed a cardinal sin, open the borders let them all come in, illegal immigrants in every town, stand up and be counted Blair and Brown.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

The British people have been let down, that’s why Ukip is making ground, from Crewe to Cleethorpes, outer Hendon, they don't believe Cameron's referendum.

Coalition could be a fact, with any party we could make a pact, stop telling lies about us do, and we’ll stop telling the truth about you.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

Though our pensions scheme is in a mess, we need money for the NHS, to Jean-Cleade Juncker we’re giving away £55m a day.

Oh what a farce he won the vote, this is my favourite Juncker quote, he looked a reporter straight in the eye and said “when things get serious it's time to lie”.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

The EU live in wonderland, tried to ban bent bananas and British jam, we don't want jam the EU way, jam yesterday tomorrow but never today

The daily polls suggest somehow, Ukip are the third party now, in the euro elections we were so immersed, we weren't the third party we were the first

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

With the government sitting on the fence, Ukip policy makes more sense, to get out of Europe is our target, Commonwealth not common market.

Other parties please take note, Ukip is not a protest vote, so mark your cross and by word of mouth, tell them what to do in Thanet South.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

With the EU we must be on our mettle, want to change our lawnmowers and our kettles, our hairdryers, smart phones and vacuum cleaners, but Ukip is wise to their misdemeanours.

Farage likes his fags and beer, but there is one thing I want to get clear, now I like Nigel, he’s a friend of mine, but he appears more than Dimbleby on Question Time.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

The other parties will count the cost, in Eastleigh, Thanet, Thurrock and Boston, Labour and Tories shaking in their boots when Ukip kick them up the grass roots.

Meanwhile down at Clacton-on-Sea, Ukip are making history, Douglas Carswell, we're quite adamant, will be the first MP in parliament.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

You really think that?

The bookies were offering 50/1 for it getting to number one. It's currently at number 17 in the iTunes chart.

It's further progress may be hampered by the fact that there is an ever shrinking number of outlets where you can buy a physical CD, meaning that online download sites will have to be used.

Not sure if there are enough tech-savvy UKIP supporters to dethrone the very excellent 'All About The Bass' from the number one slot.

AOG

Hand on heart - do you want UKIP to form a majority government at the next General Election - or would you prefer that they form a coalition with the Tories on the understanding of an in/out Referendum?

[jourdain2]

It's not bad enough to turn off anyone who has already decided to vote Ukip and I think it is aimed at disillusioned Labour voters - so it may well bring in more votes.
