They chose the lead singer who is actually sergant Roger Parr of the Royal Dragoon Guards due to his likeness to the comic Peter Kaye who has a hit single version of this song out in Britain at the moment for the charity comic relief.

It was filmed on a standard camcorder,
then they sent it to the UK Ministry Of Defence (MOD) where it was that popular
that one of the MODs mail servers crashed as demand was so high for it.
It was featured on the BBC news and afterwards the BBC were inundated with people trying to get a copy of it.

In my opinion this was a good effort at upstaging the Army's Armadillo video,
However it was totally spoilt by someone who had absolutely no idea what so ever about video editing,
there are way way way too many scenes completely and utterly out of sink, (SCHOOLBOY ERROR).
Also there are way way way to many toffee nosed officers in this who obviously spoilt it by there know it all input,
instead of allowing the boy's with more creativity to take charge of this.

British defence ministry computers crash over Iraq soldiers comedy video
16/05 11:29 PM (GMT)

(c) 2005 AFP

LONDON (AFP) - Britain's defence ministry was investigating Tuesday how a spoof video of a comedy pop song by soldiers in Iraq temporarily crashed its computer system last week after too many staff downloaded the clip over the Internet, a spokesman said.

A group of soldiers took time out from their work in the battle-torn country to film a joke version of "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo", featuring comedian Peter Kay, itself a charity remake of the 1970s hit by Tony Christie.

The film, featuring a Kay look-alike Sergeant Roger Parr and a series of side kicks, was emailed back to army friends at home and proved so funny it spread like wildfire around the defence ministry.

"The video is brilliant. Soldiers maintaining their moral on operations is always important," a defence ministry spokesman told AFP.

"The fact that it proved so popular in the office that it caused the system to crash is unfortunate but this did not affect operations and everything is up and running again," he said.

On a serious note, however, the spokesman added: "Our computer people will look at the cause and evaluate what happened."

Images of the four-minute film -- which include Parr, 34, pulling some of Kay's trademark dance moves in front of three portaloos, before the doors of two open to reveal a naked soldier sitting inside each -- were splashed across The Sun tabloid on Tuesday.

Mimicking Kay's march towards the camera, in which he is accompanied by a string of celebrities, Parr stomps through his regiment's camp in al-Faw, southern Iraq, flanked by soldiers dressed in an array of garments from underwear to Iraqi-style robes.

Their video, dubbed "Is This The Way To Armadillo" -- after an animal living in the desert with them -- prompted the defence ministry's crucial computer system to crash for five hours, the Sun reported.

The soldiers behind the film, who are from the Royal Dragoon Guards, recently completed their tour of duty in Iraq and have returned to a base in Germany, the defence ministry spokesman said.

Christie, 61, helped remake "Amarillo", a big hit for him in 1971, for Comic Relief. It enjoyed seven weeks at the top of the British music charts, only being knocked off the slot on May 9.
