Now thats what I call music

Its been variously described as 'cringe-tastic', 'weep-worthy' and 'heeeee best' but outside the Monkey Island community Darth Phenom's #MI song has never gained much of a following. All that is about to change though, its been reported that top pop mogul Simon Cowell loves the song and is about to release it as a single.

"I f*cking love it" exclaimed Cowell, "soon you wont be able to go near a club without hearing the hordes chanting - 'Our Chan! in the middle of Dalnet!', I'll make a bloody fortune".

Could this be the start of a Monkey Island revival? Gabez is already reported to be in talks with Harry Potter publishers Bloomsbury, over the rights to his latest fanfic. Expect to see it in the shops soon.

Comment from DarthPhenom

In a rare interview granted to us, Darth "The Voice" Phenom had this to say about the project: "BASTARD! I'm being ripped off here with no royalties!" , the legend commented. He further added, "Well, what I mean is that I am certain this Mr. Cowell fellow would do a downright spiffy cover of my #1 hit single. I would only like to see Cowell's cover released as a special tsunami benefit and I would gladly forego my royalties."
