Imagine, right, that you'd just had nigh-on every bone in your body shattered into confetti during a six-million-miles-per-hour (or thereabouts) super-car explosion.
What'd be the first thing you'd want? Well… apart from gallons of medicine, several operations, a nice warm hospital bed and the chance to knee the BBC Health And Safety Director in the balls? That's right – you'd want feisty pop trio The Sugababes to perform an exclusive private gig by your bedside. Possibly.
Well, lucky (or not-so-lucky, depending on how you look at things) Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond might be getting exactly that.
Hammond – referred to as Hamster for reason we're too lazy to Google – got into a spot of bother last week when he ploughed a 300mph vehicle through a field and into a big fiery mess. Thankfully, though, the cheeky little chap is expected to make a speedy (sorry) recovery. And – obviously – there's no-one better to help things along than the jailbait hitmakers behind Hole In My Head, that Gary Numan remix thing, and… erm… some other ones. When questioned as to their motivation, the Sugababes said:
"Richard is a cute bloke with a great smile, of course we'd sing for him. I love Top Gear. If our singing can do any good we're happy to perform. Richard has two young daughters so maybe they'll convince him that our offer is a good idea. But it's great he's already making a good recovery. He is a brilliant presenter."
Maybe this idea should spearhead some sort of NHS revolution – you know, the greater the severity of the injury, the more impressive the pop star who turns up to sing and dance especially for you. Thus people with inoperable brain tumours get treated to a razmatazz-and-dazzle set from The Rolling Stones, whilst people suffering from a mild case of kidney stones are wheeled out to watch Abs from Five reel through the hits.
Before they all die of MRSA, of course.
