I would have thought the former, but even so...

New Order doing Russ Abbot's "Atmosphere" = Russ Abbot doing Russ Abbot's "Atmosphere"

Cue Sumner singing the line "And Frankie's got his banned" and uselessly attempting to keep a straight face.

Is it a live performance? Because after that he would go "WHOOO!".

JD's "Atmosphere" simply isn't good if Ian Curtis isn't singing it. See: Bernard Sumner singing it in concerts.

From wiki:

After many years, Abbot bought the performing rights to his hit Atmosphere and refuses to allow it to be played on radio as he considers it to be a dire representation of his talents, however many consider this to be a classic novelty hit (it spent no fewer than 2 months in the UK Top 20 in 1984).
