If you need proof that politicians will do anything for votes, here are four candidates standing for election across Birmingham taking part in a sing-off.
They sang without a backing track in an event organised by BBC West Midlands and really got into it. It was a bit awkward.
First up was Labour's Steve McCabe, standing in Birmingham Selly Oak, with a rendition of Peggy Lee's "He's a Tramp".
Then it was Clair Braund, standing for UKIP in Birmingham Ladywood, with a passionate, eyes-closed version of the 1993 dancefloor classic "Rhythm of the Night", by Corona.
Next was Green candidate Margaret Okole, also standing in Ladywood, with a very Green song choice: Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changin'".
Last up was the Lib Dems' John Hemming, standing in Birmingham Yardley, singing Billie Holiday's "Summertime".
