The Thanet Anthem
Written by Matt B · first published 11/07/2010
The seedy side of Thanet takes centre stage in a viral video that has been growing in popularity recently.
The video is called "The Thanet Anthem" and is already in version two having had a few images changed or blurred (Sandy Ezekiel, for example) presumably after complaints by those who are feeling the heat of the complaints. With lyrics suggesting that Thanet is where "where dreams are trampled and robbed by the council" this is not a track "bigging up" the area.
Trying to work itself as a parody ala Weird Al to the music of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' Empire State Of Mind this is (according to my source) the work of Adrian "The Fraudster" Handley, James Mason and Hannah Buchanan. It bills itself on youtube as "funniest video" but it does not quite catch the right tone to be laugh out-loud, rolling on the floor stuff.
If you want to watch the video and promise not to be offended read on...
