Britain's Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is becoming something of an internet sensation. But not perhaps quite in the way he intended. A television message he recorded apologising to voters for a promise his Liberal Democrat party made before the last election, and then went back on, has been put to music.

HINTS

一开始的歌曲，中间部分的歌曲和最后的歌曲均不用听写，但最后一句男人的说话要听写。
全文听写，英式拼法 It's the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg as never heard before. His apology over tuition fees for students, turned into something decidedly more entertaining via a clever bit of computer software.
His original, pre-musical apology, had been considered a risky strategy. After all, how often do politicians ever admit to being wrong or say sorry? But given his and the Liberal Democrats' abysmal opinion poll ratings since joining the coalition two years ago, the verdict was, the apology was worth a try. Whether the singing version will make matters better or worse is hard to say. But a source close to Mr Clegg says he found it very funny and has given permission for the video to be released, provided any profits go to charity.
"And if we've lost your trust, that's how I hope we can start to win it back."
