The parody of Empire State Of Mind is sooooooooooooooooooooo good.

I do hope radio stations in Wales start playing it on air - even just for fun at breakfast.

I saw the young girl who produced it on Sky News last night.

She's so down to earth and can't believe the attention it's getting online.

A truly brilliant piece of work.

    It was on Radio Cymru. It's a bit crap. Prefered North Wales State of Mind off of Comedy Dave myself.

    Doesn't it contain some bad language?

    I wouldn't think they will play it if it does.

    Red Dragon played it earlier on going by what I saw on Twitter.

    Also Nation flagged it up to its followers on both Facebook and Twitter - not sure if they've played it though.

    It contains the words "Bugger off", which could be left in at a stretch, and the "shit" in the second verse can be easily muted by any numpty with Audacity.

    Fair enough.;)


    I still don't like it though as I cannot stand (c)rap music of any kind. :D

    Bay Radio 102.1 have played excerpts. My Welsh hosts here for the weekend think the whole thing is hugely funny.

    Real Radio played it last Friday, that's how I heard about it. It has now had almost 1.5 Million hits on You Tube since last week. :eek:

    I ripped the MP3 off the Youtube vid, played it on my show, made it available online, the MP3 has been downloaded 214 times on its own.

    Being released as a single for mental health charity next month. Downloading something being released for a good cause strikes me as being a bit low :(

    A song which has been freely available on YouTube for over a fortnight now? A song which any numpty with a Youtube-MP3 converter website can get for nothing? I ripped and downloaded my copy well before they decided to cash-in on it. And, to be frank, so did all the radio stations who played it. I mean where else would they have got a copy?
