Rik Mayall's Noble England

The video for Noble England - a song for the 2010 World Cup starring Rik Mayall. Following the death of the much loved actor, a campaign is underway to get it to #1.

DJ Jon Morter, the man who started the movement to get Rage Against The Machine to Christmas number one, says: "It would be a great thing for Rik's memory. He was a comedy legend. Rage Against The Machine was more of a protest whereas this campaign seems to be a way of displaying respect. It's a vehicle for a lot of people to say something and it would be a great accolade. In 2010 the song didn't do so well because there were so many others out there. It's a cruel irony that on the eve of the World Cup we have lost him. It's now time for everyone to wake up to this fantastic song."
