Big bars
An SU candidate’s remix of “I’m so fancy” has been played on Radio 1.
Scott Mills dropped Olivier van den Bent-Kelly’s election banger during his show on Wednesday.
The tune, originally sung by Iggy Azalea, includes such inspired lyrics as: “Who that, who that? Ed O-L-I.”
The talented rapper is running for VP Education as “Monop-Oli.”
The election video is a parody of Fancy and clearly helps him connect with his student audience.
Olivier told The Tab: “Getting interviewed by Scott Mills was unbelievable, I’m still buzzing from it!
“It’s added to an already fantastic week – it’s definitely been a highlight of the elections.
“There is some tough competition in the elections, but I don’t think I could put myself out there any more.
“I’ve got some great policies so please please vote.”
When Mills asked him what inspired him to choose this particular track, van Bent-Kelly said: “It works really well as my gimmick is MONOP-OLI. So I thought Fancy and Monopoly man kinda goes hand-in-hand.”
Mr Monopoly is also confident of his campaign. Mills said: “So you think you’re going to win?”. Oli replied: “I’m going to say yes, why not? Yes. Absolutely. Hopefully… you’ve got to have confidence!”
His groupies have enjoyed the video as well. Some “love it” and find it “brilliant.”
But a few are cringing. One mate commented, “I cringed so hard, I had to go to A&E.”
Oli credits his brother for the lyrics and his mate for the grime background. His friend has experience with grime music who, He said: “He coached me on how to effectively rap.”
