"Peter Cushing Lives in Whitstable"
Don't know if this is old-hat, but I just came across this news on the QI site!
QI's pop song is launched!
QI has become the first UK's first panel show to have its own pop song and music video.
The pop song, "Peter Cushing Lives in Whitstable", features QI stars Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Jo Brand, Bill Bailey and Phill Jupitus.
During the third (or 'C' ) series of QI, Davies recalled seeing a band called The Jellybottys who played a tribute song to the Hammer Horror star Peter Cushing.
After QI was aired, Deek McNeill from The Jellybottys got into contact with QI and gave permission for his song to be adapted.
You can see the video here, presented by its producer Justin Gayner:

Although it is not available as a single, the song will feature on the upcoming QI C Series DVD, available for pre-order from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/QI-The-C-Series/dp/B0017I1G48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1216807100&sr=8-1
