Simon Says... Botherd?
Failing to realise that interest in X Factor is so low that even the winning act is likely to struggle to find it's way to the number one spot, a group of rejects from the audition stages have decided to have a stab at the novelty market by releasing a Christmas single.
Sweet Revenge, as they're oh, so amusingly calling themselves, are lead by Simon Cowl who achieved his five seconds of fame on the show by virtue of the fact that his local newspaper, presumably being unable to find any pet owner that had misplaced their dog, ran a story about how it would be Simon Cowl meeting Simon Cowell, do you see what they did? Their names are almost the same. Hilarious! He will be joined by twins Laura and Sarah Shirley, Juliet Sharp and Josh McGuire, none of whose names ring any bells with us, though we are reliably informed that Josh was the guy who turned up in full make-up and then got a bit miffed because he was told he'd make a good drag queen.
The song which they're performing for the entertainment of no-one other than their own immediate families, is a cover of Simon Says, with new lyrics mocking Simon for being a bit absurd and comes with it's own dance routine. This is presumably intended to show Simon what a fool he is for letting them go, but as a crappy novelty single by a bunch of no marks which'll be lucky to sell more than a dozen copies is unlikely to do anything than show him exactly how right he was, we're not sure they're firing their arrow in the right direction.
Sweet Revenge - Simon Says will be available in car boot sales up and down the country for 50p, or thrown in for free with a bulk purchase of buckets.
