Former DJ Mike Read has defended his calypso song praising UKIP and Nigel Farage as "nothing remotely racist" and just a "bit of fun".
Read is hoping for chart glory with the Caribbean-infused ditty which he sings in a mock-Jamaican accent.
He told Sky News: "It's a satire and a bit of fun. It's not terribly serious. It wouldn't have sounded very good sung in a Surrey accent."
He said people criticising the song had "lost their sense of humour" and that if he had done an Australian song he would have put on an Australian accent.
The song's lyrics include: "When we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage; we can trade with the world again, when Nigel is at Number 10."
Others point fun at incoming European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and chastise the EU for trying to "ban bent bananas and British jam".
Some bookies already have the former Radio 1 DJ at 50-1 to go straight in the charts at Number One.
In the past Read has also turned his hand to musicals, but his show about Oscar Wilde closed after one night following after a critical panning and poor ticket sales.
