Audio Boo, 27th November 2012No disrespect to Eton schoolboys or Ai Weiwei ("Gangnam Style is YouTube's most-viewed", 26 November), but surely the highest accolade that can be bestowed on Psy's Gangnam Style is to have the viral dance track included on Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. Last week's hilarious rendition by Tony Hawks as part of "pick up song" is a classic.

Tony Hawks is a busy man. A bestselling author, comedian, musician, philanthropist, Radio 4 regular and now a filmmaker, he may not be a professional skateboarder (that's Tony Hawk people, so if you could stop bombarding Hawks' website asking for advice on your kickflips he'd probably be grateful) but he still has a formidable track record by anyone's standards.
