Celebrity Cilla Black Madonna nostalgia
If you’re having a bad day then why not make it even worse by listening to Cilla Black covering ‘Angel’ by Madonna?
It’s not the first time that we’ve featured scouse TV presenter and songstress, Cilla Black, on these pages. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee it will be the last time, either.
There’s just something grimly compelling about watching Cilla’s many cover versions from her time hosting Surprise Surprise, such as her ‘classic’ rendition of Eye of the Tiger.
Well now a new atrocity has been uncovered and shared by Tashy McTashFace on Twitter. It’s an excruciating mangling of Madonna’s 1985 single, Angel.
It has to be heard to be believed.
It went viral a week or two back and to make the music legend’s birthday (no, not Cilla Black’s). You have been comprehensively warned.
Happy birthday Madonna. 🥴 pic.twitter.com/elonJ1ObRe

Yikes! The comments were as catty you’d expect.

Unknown trivia for this video. Did you know they used 16 replica police cars by the time they finished this video because the drivers drove every single one off a cliff to save having to listen to Cilla butcher another song.

I can’t tell which is my favourite part: Cilla repeatedly telling her to keep her eyes on the road when she tries to break the tension of being sung at, the boys doing backing vocals at gun point, or the WPC stopping traffic on a closed road.
