好色先生TV

We built this city

How hard can it be to record a Christmas Number One? That was the question put to five of the industry鈥檚 best-known names for 好色先生TV鈥檚 Christmas challenge in 2010. Combining to form Make That, the five members each grabbed an eighties wig and outfit, and spent a day recording a cover of Starship鈥檚 We Built This City - with all proceeds from sales of the single going to charity. But as the reality of the task set in for the group, there were some early reservations.

As Emily Wright reported: 鈥溾�榃e鈥檙e going to need a lot more champagne,鈥� says Capita Symonds鈥� Jonathan Goring. 鈥楾his has all got a bit nerve-racking and I am still way too sober. In fact, where are the drugs? We may need some.鈥�

鈥淚t鈥檚 2pm on a Monday in a tiny recording studio in west London, and five of the industry鈥檚 best-known names have just listened to the song they鈥檙e about to cover for charity.

鈥淎s the last lines of Starship鈥檚 eighties classic, We Built This City, fade out Jonathan is the only one who managed to form a coherent sentence so far - albeit one demanding drugs (which we鈥檙e pretty sure was a joke). The other four are sitting in horrified silence, hands over mouths and wide eyed.鈥�
