Cherie Blair's Beijing Beatles performance becomes Ibiza dance hit

A bootleg of Cherie Blair singing The Beatles' 'When I'm 64' to Chinese students has become a dance hit in Ibiza and may chart in the UK.

An impromptu rendition of The Beatles' hit ‘When I'm 64’ performed by Cherie Blair to a group of Chinese students in Beijing has become a surprise dance hit among British clubbers in Ibiza via a dance bootleg. Now some industry insiders are predicting it could storm the UK's pop charts. A Radio 1 spokesman told the Independent: "The sample has serious novelty value. It's a catchy tune and an eccentric performance. When people realise it's Mrs Blair, it is difficult to know how they will react, but it is set to be red hot this summer."
