A song describing Prime Minister Theresa May as a "liar" and calling the country "broken" has become the most downloaded on iTunes.
But although Captain Ska's anti-Tory song Liar Liar is proving popular among downloads, it is unlikely to be playing on a radio near you any time soon.
Liar Liar is set be the highest new entry on the UK Official Singles Chart this week, but impartiality rules during the election period mean it is unlikely to get radio air time, regardless of chart position.
The Big Top 40 show on Heart and Capital FM has banned the song from being played.
The song samples clips of Tory speeches and has the chorus "She's a liar liar, you can't trust her, no, no, no".
Another lyric talks about the NHS, saying: "When there's nurses going hungry and schools in decline, I don't recognise this broken country of mine."
Other lyrics by the London-based ska band focus on poverty levels, schools and police cuts.
The seven-piece group is made up of session musicians who have performed with Vampire Weekend, Paloma Faith and The Streets.
