Wow, I watched this just a couple of days ago and the number of views has doubled in that time!

I hope it beats Bieber to get the most views on YouTube!

And I really hope Jay-Z and Alicia get a chance to watch it too! I wonder what they would make of it!?

Saw this yesterday and think it's great.

I normally hate parody songs but this has been well thought out and is actually genuinely funny. Well played to those involved.

that's brilliant. I'm not usually a fan of parodies but I absolutely hate the original.

Brilliant parody, some of the rhymes in the chorus were genius!

Clearly copying Moyles' North Wales parody.

It's already becoming the comedy video of the moment globally on YouTube.

Do people outside the UK get the humour?

Not much, since it's been taken off youtube for copyright infringements.

I don't like the Goldie Looking Chain version, shame they can't find their own ideas and have to copy someone else's parody.

I always though that parody was a "fair use" under copyright law?
