If it makes a lot of money for its charity, who cares?
It's only a bit of well-meant fun.

It is a good cause and perhaps the only chance for racing to get in the charts ..... :lol: Ah why not, buy it for f sake.
Funny how many people they had in the studio just to sing the chorus though ... I thought they might get to do a little bit more than that.

Saw trailer on Channel 4. Tony McCoy was really getting in the mood. Good natured bit of nonsense that, hopefully, will raise some money.
Sorry, Tracks. I should, of course, have said "So, through which method of the communicative media can this song be accessed aurally?" I'll try to be more precise in future. Meantime... thanks for the link! 
Looked like they had plenty of fun with it.

In fairness, the night of the 2005 Champion Hurdle I was pretty sure I was about to take off in the 21 Club.

“Listen to the music of the good old Irish voices,”… oh dear. A good cause?… it would have to be.
You're admitting you listened to the words????? :blink::blink::blink:
:lol: ...not willingly!
Rich Davies will have to download it for the Festival. He got a mention in the Irish Field twice, by gillian Walsh last week and Elaine Taaffe on Saturday. He will be well chuffed with the advertising and he may even be serving food in there this year to feed the hungry Irish masses after racing!!

My dad called me out to listen to it on Radio 2 the other morning, I thought I was hearing things.
It made him laugh though.
If it's for charity, good luck to them!! I've done much worse for worthy causes!

Funnily enough I saw the 'trailer' first on C4 racing and then the same evening I channel hopped onto a movie, I think it was JAWS (2), and 'Downtown' was being sung at the start of this movie.
