F1 - The Musical?

by Tess Tarossa on Jan 15th, 2012

Having been alerted to Lewis Hamilton's musical "abilities" by POP recently, we thought it only be right to compile a list of songs which should be a shoo-in to feature in "F1: the Musical".  It's surely only a matter of time they make a musical of the "circus" that is F1 - Bernie Ecclestone leaves no money-making stone unturned, after all.

1. The Chain by Fleetwood Mac - the opener, naturally (for the impatient among you, 3 mins in should do the trick).
2. Carmen - Prelude to Act 1 (The Toreadors) by Georges Bizet - as the final act of the musical plays out, the entire audience are showered with champagne for a truly "4D" experience.
3. Sofa by Ed Sheeran - Formula 1 gets a mention from musical boy-wonder Sheeran.
4. God Save the Queen by a Renault F1 car - classic.
5. We are the Champions by Jenson Button - who needs to be in tune when you just won the World Championship?  No, didn't think so.
6. Blah Blah Blah Blah-ing by Rubens Barrichello - irritatingly catchy.

Not making the cut:

1. Lift Me Up penned by Moby - poor effort.  Poor coverage.
2. Don't Cha by Pussycat Dolls - never trust the choices of a man who has pierced ears and veneers.
3. General strumming by Vettel - finally!  Something he's rubbish at!

Suggestions welcome, just as long we're all clear that Eddie Jordan's "band" are not allowed in F1: The Musical.  Glad we cleared that up.
