Hackney heckler aims to get ‘F*** off back to Eton’ song to number one
A Ukulele-playing man who sang “F*** off back to Eton” to David Cameron is looking to get his song to number one in the charts in time for the General Election.
The expletive-laden song went viral after Robin Grey, a 34-year-old musician from Stoke Newington, sang it to the Prime Minister during a campaign walkabout in Alnwick, Northumberland, last Monday.
Grey has now launched a crowd funding campaign to get the song to number one, after a video of the song which received 25,000 hits was taken down from Youtube.
Grey was visiting his Nan in Northumberland when he stumbled upon the Prime Ministerial entourage on the day before the Conservative manifesto launch.
“It’s not everyday that the universe throws you up such a fun opportunity,” Grey explained. “The opportunity to give little spontaneous performance to David Cameron – you’ve got to seize the moment.”
The main lyric to the song, “F*** off Back to Eton, with all your Eton chums”, Grey admits is crass though insists it “came from the heart”.
After repeat performances of the song in Newcastle, Peterborough and a ukulele flash mob in London Kings Cross, Grey has a recording studio booked and is already working on more General Election-themed songs.
“I’m already half way through ‘Farage get back in your garage’, and there’s a lots of requests for a Nick Clegg song too,” he added.
