Songfacts®:

  • "The Jamie Rap" is not really a song but a product of the weird imagination of zany comedian Harry Hill. It was featured in his ITV programme Harry Hill's TV Burp, and was rebroadcast on June 3, 2010 when the soap Coronation Street was postponed because its plot was considered inappropriate for broadcast at that time due to a domestic tragedy.

    Hill and his team spliced footage of the maverick TV chef Jamie Oliver to make it look as though he was performing a rap song. >>
