Mika has announced that he has recorded a reworking of one of the songs off his album especially for its appearance in an episode of hit US sitcom Ugly Betty. The flamboyant singer has changed the name of his song 'Big Girl' to 'Betty Girl' (very clever) and the lyrics have been altered so that his opening lines are now: "Oh Betty, you are beautiful". The same episode is also expected to include Victoria Beckham who will be reportedly covering her normally waif figure with a fat suit, which should be interesting.
The inclusion of Mika's song in the TV show is expected to 'break' him to the primetime US audience, following a long list of other artists, including The Fray (Grey's Anatomy) and Death Cab For Cutie (The OC), that have found success from the exposure offered by just one episode of a popular TV show.
