It was a theme developed on Twitter the same week by internationally renowned artist and cartoonist Moose Allain.
He suggested what the lyrics would look like if The Chuckle Brothers were to have performed a Freddie Mercury/Queen song, suggesting “Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me (to you, to me, to you, to me, to you, to me, to you, to me, to you)” (Bohemian Rhapsody)”
Moose warmed to the idea and added a few more suggestions like:

His online muses prompted a deluge of like-minded souls to make the memory of the Chuckle Brothers go viral.
The inspired replies to his tweet included these gems:
The Beatles: “If there's anything that you want, If there’s anything I can do, Just call on me and I'll send it along, With love, from me to you (to me, to you, to me to you go me to you)”
The Bee Gees: “More than a woman, more than a woman to me, (to you, to me, to you, to me, to you, to me, to you, to me, to you)”

And finally, a Frank Sinatra classic that the Brothers should have sung at the New York stadium: “It’s up to you (to me, to you, to me) New York, New York !”
Apologies if you’re singing these new versions in your head for days!
