'The WInners Song' originally featured on Peter Kay's Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice, a comedy on the UK's Channel 4 television channel which poked fun at reality talent shows. This was the song performed by the two fictional finalists, which was won by Geraldine McQueen, played by Peter Kay.

This song was released as a single in the UK the same week as the 2007 X-Factor winner Leon Jackson released the first single from his debut album, "Don't Call This Love." To the amusement of many, this spoof number debuted at #2 one position higher than the song of the actual winner of the X-Factor reality talent show. Geraldine sent a consolatory message saying: "Leon is a lovely wee boy. He's a Scottish Michael Buble."

The Winners Song Lyrics:

I started with nothing
Now I have something
I proved them all they were wrong
So glad I kept fighting
And I never stopped trying
Been waiting to sing for so long
My winner's song

I couldn't carry on
I thought my chance had gone
I was ready to stop and give in
I thought I'd give it one last try
Look this moment in the eye
Then maybe who knows, I could win
I dreamed about this for a lifetime
But I could not imagine
What it feels like standing here right now

I started with nothing
Now I have something
I proved them all they were wrong
So glad I kept fighting
And I never stopped trying
Been waiting to sing for so long
My winner's song

This journey's been incredible
Now standing in the light
I hope this lasts for more than one night
One night

I started with nothing
Now I have something
I proved them all they were wrong
So glad I kept fighting
And I never stopped trying
Been waiting to sing for so long
My winner's song

Been waiting to sing for so long
My winner's song
