Boris Johnson For Number 1 in the Charts

On 3 October 2007 fans of Boris Johnson MP launched a website "Boris Johnson for Number 1!" in an attempt to create the collective internet drive to send a track, on which Boris provided the vocals for, called "Is Fatboy Slim a DJ" to the top of the UK music charts.

The track features Boris Johnson describing how Fatboy Slim is the only modern DJ he knows of. He also talks about DJ culture, scratching a record, Malcolm McLaren and DJs Tony Blackburn and Terry Wogan.

Boris also mentions how he was briefly in a band when he was in school as a bass guitarist and tried to master the Deep Purple track Smoke on the Water, but it was a disaster.

The campaign is ongoing and has attracted the attention of the British national press and TV. He was interviewed on the Richard & Judy TV show and asked about the single. The Daily Telegraph also ran a lead feature on the Boris single entitled Boris in da house .
