"The Winner's Song" is a single by fictional character
The song was co-written by Kay together with Gary Barlow from Take That, and parodies the style of changing key part-way through a song - a popular trick of modern-day pop songs - starting out in A flat major, moving up to B flat major, and then quickly up to B major.
Video
The video to the song was released both as a DVD single and as part of the Peter Kay compilation "Special Kay",
Parody
The video itself is a parody of Leona Lewis' video for her cover of Kelly Clarkson's, "A Moment Like This", and the box art of the single is a parody of The Meaning of Love, the debut album from Michelle McManus, who won the second series of Pop Idol in 2003.
