15 Hilariously Awful Songs Released In The Name Of Charity

15. Cliff Richard - The Millennium Prayer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLdPVWcNT-A No stranger to a Christmas hit or two, Sir Cliff followed Mistletoe & Wine and Savior's Day by going for the big one: The last Christmas number one of the millennium with aptly titled The Millennium Prayer. Basically, take the one song people associate with New Year's Eve, switch the lyrics for The Lord's prayer and hope that the big man will be on your side. Despite barely any radio play, the song climbed to the top of the charts after two weeks following a bizarre chart-battle with one-hit wonder Wamdue Project's King Of My Castle. In the end, Westlife saved us all (now there's a sentence you don't expect to say) by knocking it off in time for Christmas (with the similarly sickly I Have A Dream). It's probably the last thing you'd want to hear at midnight on 31st December too, and unsurprisingly it doesn't appear in December every year with Mariah and Slade. It has since been voted the worst No. 1 of all time, but on the plus side was Cliff's last No.1. And it was all in aid of the Children's Promise charity.
