Brian May joins Matt Lucas for online performance of "Thank You Baked Potato"

Last month, comedian Matt Lucas announced the release of "Thank You Baked Potato" to raise money for the FeedNHS campaign.

The Little Britain actor originally performed the "Baked Potato Song" on BBC's Shooting Stars programme, and reworked the lyrics to encourage social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.

Yesterday (12 April), Lucas uploaded an online performance of the song, with help from Queen guitarist Brian May. Lucas wrote, "Life. Made. I love you Brian May."

Life. Made.

I love you @DrBrianMay#ThankYouBakedPotato #FeedNHS https://t.co/yZo3HScHQU pic.twitter.com/1RKEDPIPV9

The comedian said of the reworked version, ""The Baked Potato Song" was something I sung on Shooting Stars 20 years ago and in an idle moment on Tuesday night I rewrote the lyrics and updated them. Baked Potato is always giving good advice and the new advice in the new version of the song is about washing your hands, staying indoors and only going to grocery stores. I urge everyone to buy the single this week and raise vital money for the FeedNHS campaign."

FeedNHS is a campaign created by Lucas, actor Damian Lewis and his wife Helen McCroy, alongside food chain LEON. The campaign aims to raise £1million, and hopes to provide 6,000 meals per day for staff working in critical care units in London hospitals.
