This ridiculously catchy “Brexit hymn” is the earworm nobody needs right now
It was an excellent idea – not only is Nick Harvey a successful composer, he’s also a founder member of the impromptu Twitter bands behind the Pret Sells Pretzels jingle and a wonderful rendition of Three Lions, so this would be very much up his street, if you ignore the pro-Brexit angle, naturally.
This was the result.

But, had Nick been too good?
Your song was too catchy and now I support Brexit.

Blimey. Brexit is a dead cert judging by this.
