The James Corden Soon-To-Be No. 1 Song That America May Well Avoid Entirely

I really like James Corden, host of the Late Late Show. We did a radio ad tiogether for British entertainment store HMV back in the day, and he was happy to run up and down the stairs of the recording studio for five minutes so he sounded properly out of breath, Generous fellow. But in the UK he got a biut of a bad reputation for being ubiiquitous and after his very deserved success writing and starring in the sitcom Gavin & Stacey, seemed to say yes to the opening of an envelope.

His success in the play Two Men, One Governor rebranded him in the UK and introduced him to Broadway. A Tony later, the road was set to taking over the Late Late Show after Craig Ferguson left, and taking on the Carpool Kareoke format he debuted for the British Comic Relief.

But of late he seems to have been returning to the British advertising scene again, for Confused.com and the like. Specifically the big Christmas advert for national supermarket chain Sainsburys. Which has also been released as a single. And is destined for the top of the music charts, Christmas no 1, that peculiar British tradition that confused international audiences as to its significance in the film Love Actually.

Oh bloody hell, that's annoying. A shoo in for Christmas No 1 then. I doubt this will bother the American consciousness much. Hell, you've just had an election, you should be spared this. Although what are the odds he'll manage to squeeze it into the CBS show at some point?

Although it does remind some folk of a less well known sixties song…
