Wordsworth rap

[jaybee]

I just heard the Wordsworth rap song which apparently comes from the Lake District. What a dreadful way to promote such a remarkable poet and author. I assume that this is some youth venture, but to me it does a lot of damage to what I consider to be traditional literary values.

I agree. Best description is crap (if that's allowed here?).

It came from the Cumbria Tourist Board who are determined to spend public money promoting themselves.

Let's get things straight.

The "song" & video were made by Cumbria Tourism just to get publicity for Cumbria. And it worked because people are talking about it and it has been on national news and in the newspapers.

I think its crap too.
