Is this the way to Comic Relief?
Peter Kay and a host of famous faces have recorded a special music video to accompany the comedian's version of the Tony Christie classic, (Is This The Way To) Amarillo, as part of this year's Red Nose Day.

It was a great time in Uk.. Everyone understands about Comic relief, so i won't explain. This year was special.. A video was made, from the classic song by Tony Christie!!!

Very famous people star in this music video, and ofc.. Peter Kay is miming the song, hehe.. so funny!

Some of the people that star in this amazing video are:

Cliff Richard
Peter Kay
Paddy
The 2 Ronnies
mathew, sooty sweep and sue
Jimmel Fix it

so so many ... I think it will make a FORTUNE for a VERY good cause.

The song's original singer, Tony Christie, who also appears in the video said "when Peter Kay and Comic Relief approached me about doing this I was thrilled and hope that it will help raise lots of money for such a great cause".

The song has been a firm favourite with fans of Kay since he used it in a memorable scene from Phoenix Nights where bouncers Max and Paddy, in the hope of encouraging a sing along, play the tune to a bus full of devout Muslim elders on the way to prayer.



I have this special video now, Check it out below, The song is a classic!!

ofc they are walking on "running machines" or "treadmills".. and little Ronnie, fell off and had serious injuries, but he is fine now. So he decided to leave that shoot in.. so you actually see him falling off the running machine, heh. I will upload a better version as soon as i get it.. very soon... However the donations are the most important. I have donated £600.00 to Comic relief.. https://www.rednoseday.com/donate/index.shtml so if some could do something like that here, who live in England.. that would be great.

^WOW David, £600.00 ! You are so, so generous...if I had that much money I'd do that too...

Red Nose Day 2005...what a day !


...and that song totally rocks. Everyone in my school are singing it, we're all on our way to Amarillo, lol :lol: !!!

I'm currently still raising money for Comic Relief in school and will continue to do so all week...

btw, on the night (11th March) over £37 million pounds was raised for Comic Relief and the money is still pouring in, well done Great Britain !!

I hope the Peter Kay song reaches number 1 in the charts...! :P

Yeah James, i hope it is number one. I just have to include these lyrics in this topic :mrgreen:

When the day is dawning...on a Texas Sunday morning!!!
how I long to be there
with Marie who's waiting for me there !!
every lonely city ......where I hang my hat !!!
ain't as half as pretty as ..where... my ...baby's... at !!

Is this the way to Amarillo !!!!
every night I've been hugging my pillow !!
dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me !
show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me !

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me !!!!

There's a church bell ringing
hear the song of joy that it's singing
for the sweet Maria ......and the guy who's coming to see her
just beyong the highway, there's an open plain
and it keeps me going ...through the wind and ra-in

Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been hugging my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me!!!!!
