Ride a White Swan by Jamie Somethingorother: The tackiest thing in pop ever?

Just saw this on the Box along with an advertising feature of the chick riding a poney which ends in her saying something about the lingerie. I'm wondering if pop really has eaten itself. Acts like Steps and the Spice Girls were cheesy - but not in this way. I'm almost willing to say that whoever fucking came up with this idea (trashy Australian woman with huge tits covers "Ride A White Swan" by T-Rex in a Euro-dance stylee) has to be a fucking musical genius.

Discuss.

I've not seen this but I'm gonna switch on "The box" and see if it's on again. Does it sound like the work of Pete Waterman? is she fit?

The thing about the video is they spend about 30seconds of the whole song with her face on camera, the rest of it is close-ups of her boobs. She's not actually very pretty - looks a bit too old to be a teeny-pop star and far too trashy to fit into the All Saints/Spice Girls/Kylie school of things. I don't even think Waterman would stoop this low (or high) to create such a mad piece of "music".

I managed to find her website.

she looks like she should be on the back of the bus advertising spearmint rhino. so long as it's pretty dirty, it should be a good record.

Ha! Girl next door she certainly ain't! Still haven't heard the song cos myspeakers are banjoed but the pics are brilliantly tacky and the idea is incredible.
