Russell Brand To Release Single With Simon Cowell?

Comedian Russell Brand is to release a one-off single entitled 'The Chugga Chugga Song', according to reports.

The song, written by fellow comedian Joby Harte, is said to have the support of Simon Cowell's record label, Syco.

The song was initially written by Harte to help warm up audiences before Brand's comedy shows and was aired on his BBC Radio 2 show last year.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “It’s really cheesy and has a dance routine to go with it. Russell loved it and got involved by dancing along to it on his radio show.

“He thought that would be the end of it but record labels got in touch about releasing it. Joby is dead keen and Russell is up for a laugh if he can find the time to record it.”

Brand is currently in the middle of his first UK comedy tour since he resigned from his radio show last October over a series of controversial prank phone calls.
