Betty Boo. She did the do. Then she wrote songs for Hear'Say and Girls Aloud.
Blur's Alex James. A man perpetually described as louche but who is 33% responsible for one of the best England football anthems of all time - Fat Les's Vindaloo.
Now the unlikely pairing unleash their first single, the sublimely daft WigWam. "Checking out my wigwam, wigwam, wigwam, checking out my boo, boo, boo," Betty tells us as a riff that sounds like suburban caterwauling lodges its tent peg firmly in brains up and down the land.
WigWam is a three chord wonder, a pop classic, as far removed from jangly guitar dirge as music gets. With a video directed for free by Dom Joly that finds work for catsuits and police uniforms, the fun is irresistable. Where's the album.
