Lyrics[]
- Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
- If you look around
- The whole world's coming together now,
- Every healthy smile is hunger and strife for another child
- Now tell me
- Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
- All the children of the world should be
- Lovin' each other wholeheartedly.
- Yes it's alright, take my message to your brother and tell him twice
- Now tell me
- Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
- Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
- If you wake up and don't want to smile,
- If it takes just a little while,
- Open your eyes and look at the day,
- You'll see things in a different way.
- Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
- Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
- It'll be, better than before,
- Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
- Jai Ho, don't you look back
- Jai Ho, don't you look back
- (Jai Ho) You are the reason that I breathe, (Jai Ho)
- You are the reason that I still believe, (Jai Ho)
- You are my destiny,
- Jai Ho! Uh-uh-uh-oh!
- (Jai Ho) No there is nothing that can stop us (Jai Ho)
- Nothing can ever come between us, (Jai Ho)
- So come and dance with me,
- Jai Ho! (oohh)
- I get knocked down
- But I get up again
- You're never going to keep me down
- I get knocked down
- But I get up again
- You're never going to keep me down
- I get knocked down
- But I get up again
- You're never going to keep me down,
- Never forget where your coming from
- Never pretend that it's all real
- Someday soon this will all be someone else's dream
- Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
- Na Na Na Na, Hey Jude!
- Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
- Na Na Na Na, Hey Jude!
- So throw those curtains wide!
- One day like this a year would see me right!
- Throw those curtains wide!
- One day like this a year would see me right!
- Throw those curtains wide!
- One day like this a year would see me right!
- Throw those curtains wide!
- One day like this a year would see me right!

Trivia[]
- Both Elbow's One Day Like This and A.R. Rahman and the Pussycat Dolls' Jai Ho are the only songs featured in the medley to be from the 21st century. The other songs in the medley are songs from the 20th century (60's, 70's, 80's and 90's).
- Series 2 animator George Laban worked on the stop motion animation for the music video.
- This would be the last time where Ken Barrie sang a song in a production (albeit as Ted Glen), as he would step down permanently from acting and performing after many years in the 2010's.
- As a result of a dispute and lack of permission from Royal Mail for using their newer corporate brandings, Pat is instead driving the unbranded SDS PAT 4 post van instead of his iconic PAT 1 post van.
