After replacing Liz Truss as Prime Minister earlier this week, No 10 Downing Street have release a 90 minute video of Rishi Sunak in his first day on the job. The footage included a hug with Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and a phone call with US President Joe Biden, who correctly pronounced his name after originally referring to the new British leader as “Rashid Sanook”. Despite the slickness of the video, viewers have noticed how a familiar drumbeat sounds very much like a song by convicted child sex offender Gary Glitter.
One viewer tweeted: “Not sure I’d have gone with Gary Glitter’s Rock and Roll Part 2 as the soundtrack, but you do you, Rishi.”
Another wrote: “I don’t want to tell 10 Downing Street media how to do their job, but that appears to be a sampled drum loop from a Gary Glitter record?
And one added: “Sunak’s latest propaganda video has a soundtrack by Gary Glitter, I kid you not. To sum up what they have done to the country? Wanna be in my gang, my gang? No thanks. Rather have a #GeneralElectionN0W.
However, Rishi Sunak’s spokesman has denied the claims and said the soundtrack is “certainly not by Gary Glitter”.
When asked if No10 would have to pay royalties to Gary Glitter for the soundtrack, a No10 spokeswoman rejected claims one of the former glam rock singer’s songs had been used.
She said “stock music” had been added for the backing track. The official added: “I’m not aware of it costing anything additional to the work that we do in communicating for the Prime Minister.”
