Gary Barlow & Andrew Lloyd Webber's official Jubilee song

It's a dream pairing: top songwriters Gary Barlow and Andre Lloyd Webber combining to write a song together. Whatever they produce is almost certainly guaranteed to be a number one hit.

But...

Isn't it awful?

The lyrics aren't that bad but the hook? "SI-I-I-I-NG" Is it a hook? It's a sort of collective whine.

It's even got the ghastly "Army Wives" on it. *shudder*

It takes bland to a new low.

And no, it's not because I'm opposed to the monarchy and won't be celebrating the jubilee that I dislike it. It's just a bad song.

If there was to be a communal sing song of it the chorus is more likely to sound like a herd if sick cows.

A disappointing song to mark a disappointing and idiotic institution. Maybe it is a match made in heaven?
