The Greatest Song In The World This Week: Craig David - “6 of 1 Thing”
The Greatest Song In The World This Week
Now, I am not a fan of Craaaaaaig David, but there are a number of reasons why I think his new single, “6 of 1 Thing” due to be released on Monday, deserves a place in my humble little column.
Firstly, you have to admire the man’s tenacity. Despite the fact that comedian Leigh Francis has pissed all over Craaaaaaig David’s reputation with his hilarious portrayal of the pop singer in his comedy sketch show Bo’ Selecta!, he repeatedly returns with his signature R n’ B tunes. Like the evil older brother in the film Kes, Craaaaaig David throws the Kestrel with which Francis has burdened his character on Bo’ Selecta! unceremoniously in the bin; a gesture that proudly screams, ‘Cock off Avid Merrion, you can’t stop me’! That Craaaaaig David certainly is a grafter!
Secondly, he deserves recognition for the sheer quality of his Justin Timberlake impression. I don’t think I have seen anyone since JT himself boogie stylishly to a pumping pop tune like Craaaaaig David does!
Lastly if people like Craaaaig David didn’t make shit music like this, we may forget how good the real bands are, and for this Craaaaaig David should be commended.
Stay on the edge of your seat till Monday when “6 of 1 Thing” will be available on all the usual formats. To tantalise your eyes and ears till then, here’s the video…

Don’t hide behind that Silver, you bloody LOVE it.
I prefer Bo Selecta Craig David. And he is certainly no JT.
