13. The Collective - Teardrop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V5VQ_ST-yk While both Children In Need and Comic Relief are aired on the BBC, Comic Relief has always seemed like the cooler, elder brother of the two (Of course, CiN don't do themselves any favours by having the ever-doddery Terry Wogan still hosting (It doesn't matter who you put next to him, he's still going to look older!). In order to inject a little life into the fundraiser, man of the moment Gary Barlow was drafted in to organise the official single. Rather than writing the big piano lead-ballad he's most known for (and as he did for The Queen's Jubilee), Gary gathered some of the UK's freshest urban-pop talents including Chipmunk, Ed Sheeran, Rizzle Kicks and Tulisa for a cover of Massive Attack's untouchable, iconic track. The outcome was a disastrous, embarrassing catastrophe that - according to reports - had Pudsey Bear ripping off his eyepatch, tearing it in two and plugging the halves into his ears. Teardrop entered the charts at #24, the lowest charting Children In Need single since 1995's Patsy Palmer & Sid Owen duet You Better Believe It (Children In Need). Probably as bad as it sounds.
