Never convinced when people spoof a spoof, it all seems a bit circular to me. But anyway, Radio 1 are making a Chris Moyles Goldie Lookin Chain spoof track available for download in aid of Comic Relief. It is all part of the station's download week, which aims to inform people on how and where to legally download music.
The track, recorded under the moniker Mouldy Lookin' Stain, is called Dogs Don't Kill People (Wabbits Do) and is a spoof of ... well, surely that's obvious. The download of the track originally recorded for Moyles' radio show has been endorsed by GLC and their label.
Commenting on the promotion, Ros Lawler, Interactive Manager at Radio 1, told CMU: "Downloading has revolutionised the way young people buy and consume music. This has had dramatic effect on traditional retail as online download services are easy to use, convenient and good value for money. Download week on Radio 1 will reflect this change in the way people are accessing their music and guide those who are less internet savvy on how to download legally."
Jack Melhuish, New Media Coordinator for GLC'S label Atlantic Records UK added: "We and the GLC are happy to endorse the Chris Moyles release of 'Dogs Don't Kill People (Wabbits Do)' in support of Comic Relief. Atlantic Records UK recognises the importance of supporting legal downloading initiatives and actively engages in endeavours that encourage music fans to download music legitimately"
Such serious sentiments for what is, after all, a piss take on piss take, but worthy all the same.
