Congratulations on the success of 'UK Hun?'
-Can you believe?
-It's crazy.
-Topped the iTunes chart,
it's cracked the
Official Singles Chart Top 30
ranking higher than
The Frock Destroyers, I think?
-Who? -Maybe, maybe.
I've never heard of them before.
-Topping the charts?
It's the first time
I've topped anything in my life.
I can imagine.
-Yeah, can you imagine such a thing?
-How are you feeling about it right now?
It is crazy to see,
like, I've seen people getting
my lyrics tattooed on them,
which is madness
"Gender bender cis-tem offender",
I've seen people getting them tattooed,
like, about five different people
have sent me photos of it.
-I didn't see it coming.
I remember when we first
had those headphones in
in the werkroom, listening to the song.
I was like, "What is this Teletubbies stuff?"
This is camp, I'm living.
-Like 'Lazy Town' on acid, yeah.
-But it's grown on me.
It's grown on everyone.
Everyone's living for it.
-I'm just waiting for my
Mercury Prize for Songwriter of the Year.
-Yeah.
-I'm kind of waiting for.
And I think it's just been incredible
to, kind of, hear it on the radio.
It's just such a silly, happy, fun song.
-Is that why you think
it struck a chord with
the British public,
because it's just so joyous?
-The great thing about the song,
it's not an emotional ballad,
it's something cheesy,
it's something fabulous,
it's pop, you know, to the max,
it's Eurovision.
And I just think it resonates with people
because it is so silly and camp
and drag queens are silly and camp.
So, it's the perfect, kind of,
amalgamation of all of that.
-What's the most memorable response
that you've seen from a fan about the song?
Seeing a tweet from someone
telling me that they had a son
who was severely Asperger's
and had vocal and speaking troubles
and started singing, "Bing, bang, bong"
and reciting the words to that,
and never- they're four or five years old
and they've not said a word
and they've started to talk a lot more
and "Bing, bang, bong" has
brought that out of them.
'UK Hun?' has bought that out them,
and to me, that's wild.
-A old man, like, a guy who
hasn't spoken for five years
in a care home
and he's actually started speaking
by singing the song, wild!
-Powerful stuff, ladies and gentlemen.
-The power of the "Bing, bang, bong!"
-The power of drag!
-So, what's the future of the band?
What's the future of The United Kingdolls?
Can we expect more sing, sang, songs?
-Definitely, I'm sure that there might be
-Oh, definitely, I'm sure that there might be
a good old tour in the works. -UK domination.
-Yeah.
-Assume at some points.
-We've got a few festivals interested in us. -Perfect
-So we'll be bing, bang, bonging,
sing, sang, songing and
ding, dang, donging
all over your town, baby.
-After realising what talented songwriters we are,
it would be rude not to.
-Absolutely, you said the Mercury Prize
it's a possibility.
-I think- -Grammy's!
-A hundred percent.
Why do you feel like you work so well
as a group, the four of you,
as opposed to Bananadrama?
-Well, I said on the show, I think, you know,
we had the nerve,
the talent,
the humour,
the intelligence,
the beauty
and the grace,
You know?
A wild mix.
The other group, they were just giving you,
you know, Center Parcs, Butlins vibes,
we came in there, Pussycat Dolls, feeling it.
And we came to slay,
and that's what we did.
-I think we worked so well as a group,
because we're so different,
but we get it.
And I think that was a big thing.
Like, I think we just as a group gelled.
And, like, we can take the piss
and have fun and not be so serious.
And that's what Eurovision is about, really,
like, it's a catchy song, performance,
but it's also if you can let loose and have fun,
which is something that we did
and watching it back,
it was so joyous to see the effort,
because we done it so quickly,
but we worked so well, fast,
and we helped, we uplifted each other
and when people felt
like they weren't getting something
or felt a bit-
like, we were working through it together.
And I think that's what makes
an iconic pop group.
-Totally, there was, like, a good group dynamic then?
-Oh, it was amazing, amazing dynamic.
Like, you know, I obviously was
the team captain of that
chance to, I got to pick the girls
and I wanted to go for
a really diverse range of people
that I'd not worked with before,
so you'd not made your mind up about,
well, she's a bitch
or she's-
you know, I just wanted to go,
you seem like you'd be amazing
in a girl group,
you, you, you, you know?
And it worked out.
And I think that was the key as well.
Even when it came down to choreography.
You know, Tayce lifted us up and said,
"Whatever you can't do,
let me know so we can fix it
and it's perfect."
And it was pretty amazing.
-Yeah.
Do you know what, I'd love to see a chart battle
with the Frock Destroyers.
- Yeah.
Can you see that?
Do you think there'll be rivalry between the two bands?
-There already is. No...
-Yeah. Who charted higher?
-Um, well, I think we did.
-I think we did, yeah.
- It's not about that, but...
-Don't fact check, but...
Don't fact check me
but we got to 25 and they got to 35.
But don't fact check.
I'm not. Okay, right, right.
I'm going to give you both quickfie individual questions.
I'll start with you, Lawrence. -Okay.
-We saw you struggle with the dance routine a bit.
Have you been practising
so that when you go on tour
when things open up,
we can see you do routines?
-Yeah, I mean, this is the thing.
I never thought of myself as a dancer or a singer,
and I realised on the coronavirus break -
I love it, very fancy, the COVID-break -
I realised that's what held me back.
So that's why seeing that I can do it now,
I'm like, "Oh, yeah, we can do that,
We can do anything." So, definitely.
-And you're this season's comedy queen,
hit us with your favourite joke.
-My sex life.
-Oh. Same, dear, same.
-Well, we all relate to that now with COVID.
-Okay, A'Whora when we first saw you sing for MNEK,
it sounded a bit more like moaning...
"Bing, bang, bong
sing, sang, song
ding, dang, dong
sing, sang, song
ding, dang, dong!"
Was MNEK a big help, sort of, getting the tone right?
-Yeah, I mean, well,
the funny part is, like,
when we watch it back and we watch that,
that was when he was like,
"Right, just do your ad lib".
He's, like, "Just do whatever you want to do."
So that's when I went, "Bing, bang, bong!"
Doing all of that.
-Blaming the edit, okay, right.
-It's the edit. I am a vocalist.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're both still living together, aren't you?
-Yes.
Has the sexual tension simmered down
since you were in the werkroom?
-Oh Jodie, wind your neck in, girl.
-No, bing, bang, bonging happening at home?
-Oh, girl. -What you can't see right now is
where we've rested this laptop
there is a giant stripper's pole.
We're not lying. -Right here.
-I love, I love.
-You don't even know the half of it.
Has it calmed down a bit now, the trolling?
Because I know you were getting it
quite a lot at the beginning A'Whora.
-Yeah, mine was horrific.
Episode 1 to 3, you know,
I remember being sat there, like,
not even be able to eat for two days,
because it was that bad.
But, you know, it's one of those things that,
like, it takes time for people
to understand who you are.
The thing is, I just don't think fans understand,
like, it's a TV show,
there's also an edit behind it
and also, like, you can't
just walk into a nightclub one night
and expect to know every person at that nightclub,
like, just because you've seen them for one time,
you have to get to know everyone.
And I think, that's just what the fans don't understand.
But, mine's been a lot better now.
I think especially since- -There was a big turnaround.
-Yeah, since I showed a bit of vulnerability on episode 4.
But I think again, like,
I shouldn't even have to show vulnerability
for people to, yeah, to like me,
like, you know, you should-
if you don't like me
just don't say anything.
-What special ingredient do you each bring to the group?
You know, like, obviously,
the Spice Girls was, which spice are you?
So who are you two?
-I'm definitely the Fashion Spice.
-Yeah, I'm-
whoever I am, I'm always late.
- She's Late Spice.
I'm the one walking on stage halfway through
-Give it welly.
Oh, that's the other routine, why an I think of that one?
That was Tia's and everyone's
-I am, I think what I brought, I don't know,
a bit of rough around the edges,
a bit of that like grit, British grit.
-Okay, so like Rough Doll?
-I don't bring the choreo,
I don't bring the looks,
I bring the stupidity,
the...
lack of...
I mean, right now, lack of brain power.
-You're the jizz that holds the porn magazines together.
-Yes, I'm the cum that stuck the pages together.
You know what I mean?
-Yeah. Okay. Got it, perfect.
Alright, girls, thank you very much for talking to me today.
Thank you.
It's a pleasure.
