The three McCartney sisters are all set to storm the charts with a re-working of Marcie Blane's classic teen hit, "Bobby's Girl". The group have roped in the help of pop svengalis Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh, and fabled production team The Matrix - responsible for hits by the likes of Avril Lavigne - with what is believed to be a contemporary disco-pop version, re-named "Bobby's Girlz".
The song is believed to include a heartfelt plea to the killers of Robert McCartney, who was beaten to death out side McGuinesses pub in Belfast, to come forward to turn themselves over to the police. The leader of Sinn Fein, Gerry Adams, is also rumoured to be in line for some severe admonishment. A source who heard an early version of the song suggests that Adams is "lampooned throughout..........the sisters think his excuses are totally wack, and they're not afraid of singing it." The source was quick to add that the song is "funky, fresh, and will go off on dancefloors across the nation."
The Sinn Fein is reportedly furious about the forthcoming release of the single. They claim that no such releases are covered under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement. They have also been slow to quash rumours that a planned answer single is being recorded by Martin McGuiness and Mitchell McLaughlin. Sinn Fein have refused to confirm or deny reports that the pair are busy in the studio working on a cover version of Tracy Chapman’s classic, “You Say It Best When You Say Nothing At All”. Dr. Fox of the Pepsi Chart Countdown has suggested this could be “the biggest showdown in the charts since Blur versus Oasis.”
